The lights were dim and the corridors were quiet as the two conspirators approached the weapons locker. Kim entered the clearance code, and the door slid open.

“Lights,” Kim called. The air was cool and slightly more stagnant than elsewhere on the ship, and Kaz looked at the rows of weapons neatly lined up on the wall. He’d told Kim which two phasers to look for, and Kim located them quickly.

Kim examined the first one. “This one’s been fired within the last twenty-four hours,” he confirmed. Kaz was disproportionately pleased; it meant Chakotay hadn’t lied about that. Feeling more hopeful and confident, Kaz watched as Kim examined the phaser that Ellis had carried with him on his final mission.

Kim’s face revealed the answer.

“That one hasn’t been fired?” Kaz asked.

Kim shook his head. “Negative. This is about as unused as a phaser can be, fresh from the armories. You’re certain it was this number phaser?”

“Ask the computer yourself; I could have been mistaken.” But he wasn’t, and Kim knew it, and even as Kim went through the motions of reconfirming the phaser’s number and who had last been assigned it, they both knew what he’d learn.

Kaz felt cold. Chakotay had told him a bald-faced falsehood. But why? Why would he lie? None of this made any sense! It was like being in a bad dream.

Things are not what they seem.

He shivered.

“What would you like to do now?” he asked Voyager’s chief of security.

Kim’s full lips tightened, and Kaz saw a flash of anger mixed with a sense of betrayal in his dark eyes.

“I’d like to go wake up the captain and get him to explain all this, but my gut is telling me that that would be the absolute worst thing I could do.”

Kaz nodded; he shared the sentiment. Something was very wrong here, and until they figured it out, they couldn’t trust their own captain.

“We can’t trust him,” Kaz said, finally speaking the words, his voice sounding hollow in his own ears. Looking miserable, Kim shook his head. It was probably worse for him than for Kaz, as he’d been so close to Chakotay for so long.

“Well, then,” Kaz continued, “I do know someone we can trust.”

Kim knew exactly who he meant.

“That’s a huge breach of protocol,” Kim said, needed to say it even as Kaz knew he was more than willing to go along with it.

“I don’t give a damn about protocol right now,” Kaz said recklessly, hearing Gradak’s words in his voice. “I think there are more important things at stake. Are you game, Harry?”

Kim nodded.

“Then let’s do it.”
