2 – Caretaker pt. 2

Best Janeway Moment: obviously it’s gonna have to be the speech she gives at the end, “ …even at maximum speeds, it would take 75 years to reach the Federation. But I’m not willing to settle for that…” – like how can you not enjoy this? it sets the mood for the whole rest of the show 

Beneath

Kathryn Janeway stood overlooking the valley below. The simple dress she wore billowing in the gentle breeze.

It truly was a beautiful planet, a quiet one, teeming with wildlife and greenery. The crew wandered beneath her, enjoying the rare shore leave.

She surveyed the figures. They were relaxed and free. Happy.

Almost.

They deserved better.

She would do this for them.

Anything for them.

The woman began to shiver, though the day was warm. She took a step closer to the edge, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, just as she felt a hand close around her wrist.
