Tom, the Doctor, Harry and Tuvok entered the medical bay to find a pointy-eared purple being flitting around, doing a hundred different jobs. Right now, they noticed, she seemed to be watering a little plant that sat on a little shelf on one wall.
�Excuse me?� the Doctor asked, coming forward slowly.
�Hmm?� Trance looked up at the group. �Oh! You�re here to look around the med bay.�
�Yes. That is, if you don�t mind.�
�Of course not. Go ahead. If you have any questions, you�re welcome to ask.�
�Thank you,� the Doctor said, his face bearing an ear-to-ear grin.
As he started his investigation, Chakotay entered the room. Looking around, he seemed to notice something. �Where�s Seven?�
�We don�t know. We thought she was with you,� Harry replied.
�Don�t worry about Seven. She can take care of herself. Not to mention that she has picked up a formidable admirer,� Trance commented.
�How can you know that?� Tuvok asked, his Vulcan interest peaked.
Trance shrugged. �I have a gift for knowing small things like that.� The crew looked at her warily but seemed to come to the conclusion that she wouldn�t harm them. After a minute, Trance got tired of being stared at. �If you�ll excuse me, I have a job to do elsewhere. I�m sure Andromeda could help you better than I could anyway.�
�Thank you again,� the Doctor said.
Trance smiled at him. �You�re welcome.�
