[ she's trying to sound all grown up for this. as far as she knows, she's the only starfleet personnel here and she wants to make a good impression. ]

Assistant Captain's log: Day 11.

I have a couple of questions. Does anyone want to play kadis-kot with me? If you don't know how to play, it's okay. I'll teach you. I'll be in the lobby if anyone wants to play.

And uh... [ this part is harder to ask and for a while she's silent. ] I heard someone's son just came back and I was wondering... if her son could be brought here... does that mean my mom could come here, too?

[ it's only been a few days and she misses her mom so much. ]

Thank you for your answers.

...Does that game you're talking about got any letters in it?

[minicaptain]

No, unless you count the grid markers.

[kethedammit]

It got numbers?

[minicaptain]

Just the grid. [ think strategy games. ]

[kethedammit]

Yeah, I could learn that. You know Long Tiffany?

[protosshaze]

I like to learn new games. Can I play with you?

[minicaptain]

Sure! It's my favorite game. Come down and I'll teach you.

[protosshaze]

Okay! ... Oh, my name is Sophie.

[minicaptain]

I'm Naomi! Nice to meet you.

[protosshaze]

It's nice meeting you, too.

[ichy]

[Having been told by multiple people that Naomi is in Paradisa--and lonely, no less--Icheb has been looking through the book in search of her.]

I'll play kadis-kot with you.

[minicaptain]

[ sadly she doesn't know who he is, but she'll be happy to meet him again. ]

I'm in the lobby and I can teach you if you come down here.

[ichy]

[Meeting people twice is not efficient. :|]

I already know how to play kadis-kot, Naomi.

[minicaptain]

[ seven would say the same thing :| ]

Oh. Then I won't have to teach you.

[ she's surprised that a) he knows how to play and b) he knows her name. but maybe someone's already told him who she is. ]

Do you want to come play now?

[ichy]

I have to stay where I am.

[But he would like to see Naomi. As the only other resident of Voyager present, she'll have some idea of what he's talking about when he speaks.]

If you bring the board to my room, we can play here.

[whistles_the_blues]

Kadis-kot?

...I imagine it's fully possible she could appear. [The whole thought of that makes him hope that this place never brings the Doctor here.]

[minicaptain]

Uh-huh. It's a really fun game. [ she'll give a really generic explanation if he wants. ]

Really? Maybe if I wish hard enough... [ sob. ]

1/2

[whistles_the_blues]

[Okay, that sob. That hits close to home.]

2/2

[whistles_the_blues]

Are you free to play now? I'll give it a shot.

[minicaptain]

[ she's trying her hardest, but in the end, she's just a young kid who misses her mommy. she's never been away from samantha like this before. and usually when she was, she had neelix or seven to look after her. now she has no one. ]

Yeah. I'm down in the lobby. I'll teach you.

[ at least she sounds a little perkier now? ]

[inafadingcrown]

[Oh, another little one. And missing her mother, poor thing.]

It is entirely possibly that she may arrive, but there is no promise of it, I fear.

dictated

[minicaptain]

A little promise is better than none. [ at least she's trying to be optimistic here. ] I miss her and Neelix.

[inafadingcrown]

It is not easy being separated from those you hold dear, especially for one so young.

[minicaptain]

[ kinda sounds like someone knows the feeling. ]

Is anyone from your world here?

[inafadingcrown]

For the moment, yes. I have seen many come and go in my time here.
