"Thats a beautiful story"Janeway said as Vorik walked from the 'stage'and the crowd applauded."It's a vulcan love story" B'ellana said in amasment "I thought vulcans were always 'logical'" Tom said "vulcans are" tuvok said behind them,then continued "it is a old story manipulated threw the ages by sages and bards.""you really know how to kill a romance"Janeway murmered while her first officer slightly chocked on his wine,and her senior staff hid thier smiles behind thier glasses. Tuvok walked around the tabel and out the holodeck doors. "Does Tuvok seem...agatatied to you?"Tom asked no one in particular." "If you ask me he seems agatated" Harry said "vulcans don't get aggitated or irretated"B'ellana stated."Maybe he's lonly...I mean he just found out he's a grandfather and he's never seen a kid" Tom stated. "Why don't we ask him?" Harry said and blushed as the occupants of the table stared at him as if he had grown to heads."o.k. Harry...you ask him"Tom said as the others snickered."well...this is guite an intresting 'opean mike night' but I think I'll turn in" Jameway stood and bid everone goodnight.5 minutes later Chakotay fallowed her out the door, B'ellana and Tom soon fallowed,already planning there next macth-making skeem.The only one left at the table was Harry witch was usual.What was unusaul happened next.7,came and stood next to his chair "ensign kim, I need your help on the sonic relay system""sonic relay system?" 'do we have a sonic relay system?' he thought unaware he had spoken aloud "we don't yet.i have read some of the captins ideas,and the sonic relay seemed the most plausable" Harry stared at her for a moment trying not to let his eyes slip,then stood and fallowed her out of the room 'great first time i leave with a women and it's bissness related' Harry thought."why are you mumering to yourself?""oh...um...forget it""very well".As they walked into the science lab they saw Tuvok at the consel."i didn't know you were helping"Harry said dissapointed that he and 7,wouldn't be alone."He was not" 7 said matter-of-facktly. Tuvok not looking up from his work replied "I was not,but I thought I might 'lend a hand'" "aren't you tired?" Harry aked strewwing the last word."No are you?" Tuvok replied. 'Vulcans suck' was all Harry could think. "I do not know if you are capable of work" 7 stated."why not?!" Tuvok asked ...defensively!!"Blood fever will be apon you soon...you must spend your time searching for a mate and meditateing.""BLOOD FEVER!!!" Harry all but yelled."I have a mate!and I am more than capable of working!!""you are wrong.this is not a time to be sentimental,your mate may be searching for a sutible male-" 7 chocked as Tuvok grabbed her by the throught "let her go!!!"Harry yelled as he laughed himself at the vulcan only to be swatted down like a fly! "my mate will let herself die before giving herself to another!!!Not now that she knows that I am alive!" Tuvok swung his arm to knock harry down once again,as he shook 7 like a rag doll with the other.The phsaer shoot to his back knocked him on consious.'
