Far from the bones of my ancestors
Commander Chakotay||Former Maquis||Anthropologist||First Officer of the USS Voyager
A scorpion was walking along the bank of a river, wondering how to get to the other side. Suddenly he saw a fox. He asked the fox to take him on his back across the river. The fox said, "No. If I do that, you'll sting me, and I'll drown." The scorpion assured him, "If I did that, we'd both drown." So the fox thought about it, finally agreed. The scorpion climbed up on his back, and the fox began to swim. But halfway across the river, the scorpion stung him. As the poison filled his veins, the fox turned to the scorpion and said, "Why did you do that? Now you'll drown too." "I couldn't help it," said the scorpion. "It's my nature."

Chakotay gripped the arms of his chair, swaying with the impact and rumble. He stifled the orders he had been about to bark-- Captain on the bridge after all. He looked to her now.
"What was that?"

"Ah, I had a friend in the Academy who swore by crossword puzzles. I wouldn't be too hard on yourself-- the way I hear it, the New York Times put out some difficult games."
He stroked his chin, mulling over her question: "Five letter word for an ancient Roman... Try Ostia."

Quote
If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place.
Margaret Mead (1901-1978)

Chakotay returned her smile warmly as he descended the ramp to take his seat. "Just trying to lead by example, Captain."
He sat down, folded his hands together and leaned towards Janeway over the arm of his chair. "To be honest," he shrugged one shoulder, "I haven't slept yet. I made the mistake of challenging Mr. Kim to a game of Kal-toh without knowing all the rules. It ran so late, I didn't bother going to bed. But I did catch up on some reports I'd been neglecting, and I think I've squared away the duty roster for the next two weeks."

Janeway smiled at her first officer as he entered the bridge.
"Up a little early, today?"

Chakotay folded his arms over his chest and smiled away from Neelix, cheek dimpling. Sigh. “Ah. Let me guess— this has something to do with the Doctor’s play.”
"I’m not sure what sort of good word you expect me to pass along. Why don’t you give it your all in an audition, and see how it goes?" Chakotay had a feeling Neelix would have a certain flair for the stage, but he stopped short of saying as much. The Doctor could be quite particular when it came to the arts, and he didn’t want to get the talaxian’s hopes up. "If you don’t pass muster, I’m sure you could make yourself useful back stage."
Mr. Chakotay! There you are!!
Neelix. What can I do for you? [raises a cautionary hand] If this is about your request to acquisition more storage space in Cargo Bay 2, I’ve already passed it on to Crewman Boylan. He’ll see about rearranging things for you. Unless there’s something else?

WHERE WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO VISIT ON YOUR PLANET?
Talk about a loaded question. To be honest, Tumblrbot, I wouldn't know where to start. Maybe Venice, in the spring.
