Part K

On New Earth, Janeway is working late and concentrating hard, bent over the computer. She rubs her aching muscles.

Janeway: "Guess I'm not used to that kind of work. My knots are getting knots."
Chakotay: "Here, let me help."

He comes over to her to give her a massage. He holds her long hair in his hands and hesitates, then puts it over her left shoulder out of the way.

Gently and skilfully he massages her neck.
Janeway: "Ah, that feels good."
Chakotay: "I've had a lot of practice at this. My mother used to get sore necks all the time. I was the only one she'd trust not to make it worse."

Janeway relaxes fully.

After a while Chakotay stops, realising that the massage has ceased to be just one friend helping another. The massage has become somehow more sensual, like caressing, and the moment physically intimate.

Janeway realises the mood has changed and it now becomes awkward. She stands up and abruptly says: "That's much better, thank you. Well, I'm going to go to bed now. I'll see you in the morning."
Chakotay: "Sleep well, Kathryn."
Janeway: "Yes. You too."
She goes straight to her sleeping area and lies down on her bed.

Chakotay reflects on what has just happened.

Janeway lies in bed pondering about the growing closeness of her relationship with Chakotay.

Chakotay looks across the room towards her sleeping quarters. He also is thoughtful.

Voyager arrives at the rendezvous.
On the Bridge, Kim reports: "Got something. Vidiian ship, bearing 325 mark 5."
Tuvok: "Hail them."
Kim does so. "They aren't responding. Trying on alternating frequencies."

Paris: "I'm reading a second ship. 177 mark 5."
Kim: "Got it. Now a third."
Paris: "They're surrounding us."

Kim: "None of them are answering hails and their weapons are powered."
Tuvok: "Red alert."

Voyager has fallen into a trap!
