Kathryn, ran until she was gliding; she hadn't wanted to hurt Chakotay, but she'd had no choice. She could feel her body changing around her, even as she tried to stop it. She needed to find food, shelter, and a hidden location; in that order and soon...the full moon was out tonight...maybe it was time to call in her generals.

He knew where she was headed, he'd learned her scent over the years, and as of last night, could destinguish it anywhere any time. When he'd awaken, his head had felt like someone had used it as a soccor ball, for a moment he wondered if she had. It didn't matter, nothing mattered except finding her and getting to her before 'they' did. He had to get to her first, the full moon was tonight, the others that had been taken and genetically altered were out also; that included males who'd be able to pick up her scent...and if he came across one, he'd simply have to kill it. Both the scientist and other males were out searching for her and he knew that she knew it, also. He also knew she could defend herself, he'd heard the woman on board talking to the doctor, Kathryn's genes were turning into that of a 'Virda', and further evesdropping told him they could be extremally visicous when provoked. One thing he was sure of, is that Kathryn Janeway had been provoked. He almost pittied whomever crossed her path...almost.

Commander Tuvok, knew he was running out of time. According to the Doctor, the captain may already be nesting. He didn't want to risk a full scale war between these people, but he may not have a choice. The lives of two officer who also happen to be the Commanding officers were in danger. And the ship was being stalked by an 'escort'. They had little time, and eventhough the away/rescue teams were making fast ground, they knew as well as he did that opposition was immeniate; they also knew they had very little time to complete their mission. He had trained them well, but this was just an unusual event as unusal could possibly get. Tuvok, sat and contemplated when his comm badge activated "Kim, to Tuvok", "Tuvok here." "We have a problem Sir." "I'm aware of that ensign." "Not that problem, a new one. Some of the crew are...well, I'm not sure how to explain it Sir." "Try, Mr.Kim." "Some of the crew are behaving like the the captain and the commander were. Their trying to get to shuttle bays and escape pods Sir," "Red Alert!" Tuvok said as he left his quaters and hurried to the Bridge.

On the surface, time was of the essense. The scientist and the away team where searching for them. She had to make sure they couldn't find her; and she had enough confidence in Chakotay, to know he wouldn't be caught and if by some fluke he was, he wouldn't be captive for long. She still felt guilty for hurting him, but that was the way things had to be now. Kathryn smiled as she came apon one of her reserves of food. This should last her while she searches for the ideal spot. One she already knew, if she had to hide then that would be the place. It also housed one of her many reserves. Chakotay, couldn't have found it, but he would; but she would already be secured.

The Doctor was being ran ragged as he tried to sedate seventeen female crew members who although were showing the same semptons of the genetic alteration behavior the captain had exhibited, none were actually changing DNA wise. It made no sense, unless...

Once again Tuvok's comm badge went off. "Doctor to Commander Tuvok." Tuvok breathed in deeply as he responded, "Tuvok here." "Commander, I think this is a decoy." "I beg your parden." "The crew members were all exposed to the captain at one point after she had been infected. This was a destraction incase she needed one. None of the crewmen here are in any serious danger or discomfort, the only explanation I can think of is-" "Is that this was a decoy, thank you Doctor; Tuvok out!"

"Computor, run a scan. Are all crewmembers aboard Voyager?" "Affirmative." Tuvok turned to his left. "Ensign Kim, scan the ship for body heat and energy." "Yes sir." responded Harry, although he didn't know the reson for the scan, it wasn't his job to ask questions. "Sir! Lutenat Torres, and Seven of Nine, are not onboard."

Her generals were comming; they'd keep others from finding her, and all her other soilders would keep everyone onbaord occupied.

He knew they were trying to destroy his work. They had no understanding why this was such a breakthrough in science! His top subjects were on the loes, and buy now the female would have created an army of women to keep her location secret. He wondered who her generals were; her top women. They'd most likly act as her personal gaurd. Ofcourse none of the women, soilder or general would know what they were until their Queen's pheramones took effect on them. However, some of the female's crew where already on the surface; that much he knew. He also knew that his army would have to stall them until the primary pair could mate. Any other male that came near her, would be killed by her or her 'mate'...and they had to be allowed to mate.

The first moon was out in full, in a few hours the others would follow, and he wold go down in history as the genius who had advanced their culture...
