-By the time B'ellana got to Tuvok's 'party' a 'pack jam' was crushed in the hallways;it took B'ellana 15 minutes to get to Tuvoks' door.She rang the comm...no answer; so she leaned on it until the door opeaned."What is going on?""i think you two could give a better answer." she said as she stepped into the room."Does the phrase 'disobidence to higher officer' mean anything to you?""does the phrase 'shitfaced while on duty' mean anything to you?".Chakotay hated loesing verble battles with B'ellana."Listen that 'rancora'whiskey is getting everyone wasted, theres a party near every vent on this floor!""I will have security break uo the disturbance""1.they'd get killed if they tried.2...most of them are 'REALLY' good dancers."they got her meaning. By 9:00 p.m. 2 hours later the parties had been ushered into holodeck3's version of a packjam,and the crew were trying out a dance called the 'macarana'.

"Now I know why you whanted to meet in the gardens"the captin mumered more to herself than to B'ellana."They seem to take control when there...chosen one is asleep.that's when they start interfering with the ship to-""keep us were they want us"the captin finished for her. "yes" B'ellana mumered."Tuvok has a mate""it doesn't matter...they seem to feel that if she'd not here to defend him,then he's free game.and...Chakotay has no ...mate"B'ellana choose her words carfully,not quite meeting the captins' eyes.she didn't have to."'I' have to fight for him?!""yes""and tuvok?""i don't know""how do we fight them?""tuvok mentioned a dreamscape in his report-"she blushed as the captins' eyes narrowed"thats what i heard"she added in quickly,then rushed on with her explanation "if i can duplicate the reaction of his crystal I may be able to simulate it's effect" "DO IT!"
