Janet's Star Trek Voyager Site

FAIR HAVEN
Episode 131
Part E

 

Voyager, stationary.

Chakotay enters the bridge and hands Janeway a PADD.
Chakotay: "Looks like the worst is yet to come."
Janeway: "Commander?"
Chakotay: "I just came from astrometrics. Seven's found an increase in the neutronic gradient of the trailing edge of the wavefront. It's going to be a rough ride where it hits."

Janeway: "We've still got two days." To Kim: "Start working on a new shield modulation."
Kim: "Yes, ma'am."

Tuvok: "That could explain my recent space sickness. Vulcan physiology is highly sensitive to neutronic gradients."

Paris jokes: "You'd make a good barometer, Tuvok. Every time you get queasy we'd go to Red Alert."

Janeway to Chakotay: "Thanks for your report, Commander."
Chakotay: "Don't mention it."

He notices Janeway's book, takes it and reads the title on the spine. 'Hills most green, hearts unseen.'"
Janeway is rather embarrassed. "That's Jane Eldon. Catching up on a little reading."

Chakotay, handing back the book: "Those hills and hearts wouldn't happen to be in Ireland?"
Janeway: "You can wipe that smirk off your face. It's not what you think."
Chakotay: "I wasn't thinking anything, but now that you mention it....."
Janeway: "I have an interest in Irish culture."
Chakotay: "That's understandable. They've produced great writers for hundreds of years," and he cannot resist teasing her, "not to mention great bartenders."

Janeway: "He's a hologram."

Chakotay: "I couldn't help but notice: he seemed a little taller than the last time I saw him."
Janeway: "Yes, I made a few modifications."
Chakotay: "In 'the interest of Irish culture'?" He is greatly amused.
Janeway: "Exactly."

Chakotay, seriously: "You seemed embarrassed when I ran into you. There was no reason to be. It was nice to see you having a little fun."
Janeway: "He is rather charming, isn't he? Too bad he's made of photons and forcefields."
Chakotay: "I'd never let that stand in my way."

Janeway revisits Sullivan's pub in Fair Haven and enjoys an evening of music and dancing with Sullivan and other townsfolk.

She is breathless when the dance ends. "Computer, remove all characters except for Michael Sullivan."
The computer obeys, leaving her and him alone together.

Sullivan: "Can I ask you something, Kate?"
Janeway: "Please."
Sullivan: "Would you mind if I kissed you?"

She is delighted to be asked. "I might even kiss you back!"

Sullivan: "There's no point in waiting any longer."
Janeway: "Oh I think I've waited long enough."
As they get closer, she hesitates. He asks, concerned: "Is there something wrong?" But she makes a decision and hesitates no longer.

The kiss is long and passionate.

In her private quarters, an unhappy and troubled Janeway gets up and takes a pile of Irish poetry books over to the replicator.

Janeway finally decides. "Computer, recycle."
The computer does so, and the books disappear.

The door signal sounds. audio: Door signaldoor signal "Come in." audio: standard doorsstandard doors Neelix enters.

Neelix: "I thought you'd like to know I've organised a rings tournament tonight at Sullivan's."
Janeway: "Thanks, Neelix, but I have work to do."

Neelix is unaware of the attraction between her and Sullivan. Hoping to interest her into changing her mind: "The Doctor's going to sing something called 'Danny Boy', and Mossie Donegan's promised to bring his talking pig!"

Janeway: "Well, let's just say I'd rather stick to reality right now."
Neelix: "1900 hours, if you change your mind."
Janeway: "Thank you."

He leaves. audio: standard doorsstandard doors Janeway thinks about Michael Sullivan, who would be at the tournament, and about the fun they had with their own rings game, and is as unhappy as ever.
