I need a vacation...

[kathrynjaneway]

As time goes by, I'm becoming more convinced that chakotay was right about the necessity of some time off for most, if not all of the crew. Tempers are increasingly fraying; paristorres and seven_of_nine haven't come to actual blows yet, but I wouldn't put it past them.

I'm beginning to wonder if _tom_paris_ has been swallowed up by a quantum singularity--he's been so quiet lately (even on duty) that it's almost as if he's not even around.

I haven't seen Tom around for days. I find it very hard to believe that our paths haven't intersected at all -- Voyager isn't that big of a ship.

I think he's avoiding me. Maybe he's still mad at me for missing that dinner because I was so intent on getting the slipstream drive to work...

know Chakotay said something about assigning him additional shifts--too keep him out of trouble--but there's got to be a limit).

I have no nothing to do with Tom's disappearance. Have you sent a search party to the holodeck yet? I've noticed that there has been a surge of power coming from that area...

And Chakotay, well, perhaps I was too harsh on him over the whole Seven-B'Elanna business. He spends most of his time on the bridge now simply staring off into space. I won't say he's brooding, but he is definitely not happy.

Your apology is accepted, Kathryn.

I did not need to read that.

Don't make me issue this as an order

Good. Now perhaps we will be able to enjoy our ourselves on this shore leave.
