"Tricorder?" asked 6 of 19, holding her hand out. Richter handed her the piece of equipment, and she opened it and began scanning the power conduit. He sat there, just watching her. She snapped the instrument shut, causing Richter to jump, startled.
"Is something wrong, Lieutenant?" the former Borg drone asked. Richter smiled and laughed a little bit. "Nothing's wrong, 6," he responded, amused. 6 of 19 looked at him, slightly confused and a bit annoyed, well, as annoyed or confused as a former Borg could get.
"My designation is 6 of 19, Secondary adjunct of Unimatrix 7," 6 of 19 explained. Richter laughed again. "Not any more, 6. You're part of the crew now. You're not Borg anymore." 6 of 19 just gave him a straight look that he knew meant she was not going to understand his humor.
They climbed out of the Jeffrey's tube, the power conduit fixed. Richter closed the hatch behind them, and they walked down the corridors. Richter tried to make chit chat with 6 of 19, but that is not an easy thing to do with a Borg.
"So, where are you going now?" Richter asked, trying to make conversation.
"To my quarters," replied 6 of 19, emotionless. She quickened her stride. Richter did, too, and caught up to her.
"What are you going to do there?" he asked.
"Regenerate," she responded, starting to sound the slightest bit annoyed. She turned a corner and walked into a turbolift.
"Well... Have fun with that!" called Richter as the turbolift doors closed. He sighed. "Just as untalkative as ever," he muttered. He laughed to himself, and continued on his way.
As Richter walked past Sickbay, he poked his head in. "Mornin', Doc!" he called, waving his hand.
"Wait a minute, come in here Richter!" called Doctor Frank Getts, the ship's doctor. Richter paused and walked back a few steps. He turned and entered Sickbay.
"What is it, Frank?" asked Richter. Dr. Getts, a tall, young man with black hair and brown eyes, stood in Sickbay, bent over a biobed. He stood up when Richter entered. "Ah, yes, Richter," he said, smiling slightly. "I need to ask a favor of you."
"Sure, anything," Richter grinned.
"I need you to get 6 of 19 to come in for her physical. She doesn't like to get her checkup, and I need to make sure there's nothing wrong with her." Richter's grin got a bit smaller. 6 of 19 was hard to convince of anything, let alone something she already didn't want to do. But he nodded and said, "Sure thing, Doctor," turning to exit Sickbay.
"I hope you have more luck than I did," muttered Dr. Getts as his friend went off to look for the former Borg.

Richter found 6 of 19 in Engineering. He walked in, and nearly banged into her as she was walking out. She just walked right past, though, not stopping to even say "Sorry for almost banging into you" or anything. Richter turned and followed her down the corridor to the turbolift. She entered and the doors were closing when he called, "Hold the door!" and ran into the turbolift, the doors closing behind him.
"Deck 5," 6 of 19 said as the hum of the turbolift began and they were carried up. She stood and stared at the doors, not doing anything.
"Deck 5?" asked Richter. "What are you doing there?"
"Repairing a damaged gel pack," she replied, no emotion showing on her face.
Richter remembered what the doctor had told him. "Dr. Getts says you need to go in for a physical," he said casually. 6 of 19 continued to stare at the doors.
"I do not need a physical. I am perfectly fit," she said, her tone still not changing.
"According to the Doc, you do," Richter retorted. "Just go. It'll only take five minutes."
"Five minutes which could be spent working, or regenerating," 6 of 19 responded. Richter sighed. There was no convincing her!
"Just go for the doctor. He'll feel better and have less stress on himself if you go," Richter tried to convince her again. 6 paused, pondering that, then said, "Very well."
6 of 19 looked at Richter, then returned her gaze to the turbolift doors. "Halt turbolift," she said. Once it had slowed to a halt, she ordered, "Deck 7."
Richter smiled as the hum of the turbolift resumed. It stopped at deck 7, and 6 of 19 exited. "Have a good day!" he called after her, but she didn't look back, and the doors closed, leaving him alone in the turbolift.
"Deck 3," he said. The turbolift started again, and before long he was standing at the door to his quarters. Richter entered his quarters and sat down on the couch with a thud. He then got up and headed over to the replicator. "Iced tea," he ordered, and his drink materialized before him. He picked up the glass and carried it back to the couch, sipping as he went. He sat down and put his legs up on the table, crossing his legs and leaning his head back.
The door sounded. "Come in," called Richter, putting his feet down on the floor and placing his iced tea on the table. It was Dr. Getts who entered Richter's quarters. He walked in and plopped down on the couch beside Richter.
"How did you do it?" the doctor asked incredulously. "She came in for her physical." Richter knew he was referring to 6 of 19. "I just talked to her," he said, smiling. "I always have a few tricks up my sleeve." He looked at the doctor. "Want anything, Frank?" he asked. Frank Getts shook his head. "No, I'm good," he said. "But thanks for the offer."
RIchter shrugged and picked up his glass of iced tea, sipping it quietly. The doctor just sat quietly.
Suddenly, the ship shook. Richter dropped his glass, and it shattered on the floor. He and Dr. Getts immediately stood up. "Richter to the Captain," he said as he pressed his combadge. "What's going on?"
Dr. Getts hurried to the door. "I'd better go," he said, but as he reached the door, the ship shook again, and he was thrown on the floor of the corridor.
"Captain?" asked Richter, moving to help the doctor up. He was grabbing Frank's hand when the captain finally responded. "Sorry about that. We're being fired upon. Please report to the bridge." Richter pulled Dr. Getts up to his feet and headed towards the turbolift, telling the captain, "I'm on my way."
~~~~~~~
When Richter entered the turbolift, 6 of 19 was in there. "Nice seeing you again," he joked. 6 of 19 ignore him. "So much for that," he muttered under his breath. He sighed. The doors opened at Engineering, and 6 of 19 exited. Then Richter was left alone, away from the commotion outside.
The turbolift doors opened again, and Richter stepped out into the bridge. The Captain was standing in front of his chair, and the first officer was seated in hers. The helmsman was pressing buttons frantically. There was an ensign at navigation, but when Richter entered, she got up, and he took his place beside Lieutenant Barres, the helmsman. She gave him a quick smile before turning back to the controls.
The ship shook for a third time as the enemy vessel fired again. "Shields down to 36 percent!" yelled the Tactical Officer. The Captain paced the bridge anxiously, holding on to a railing as the ship was tossed again. "Hail them!" he ordered. A face appeared on the viewscreen.
Richter's first thoughts? 'Wow, those guys are ugly...' But he knew not to judge them by their looks, as they obviously had stronger weapons than the Venturer. The alien on the viewscreen was a murky turquoise color, like polluted water. His cheeks, if he had cheeks, were being stretched down, like bags hanging from his face, and they attached to his neck. His right ear was pierced, and he had black tattoos on his neck.
"You have entered Vasquin space. Prepare to be boarded."
The Captain of the Venturer winced, whispering to the First Officer, "Not the most pleasant greeting." Then he turned back to the viewscreen. "I'm sorry, I didn't know this was your space," he said, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. The alien scowled. "Prepare to be boarded," he repeated, and the viewscreen went blank with a beep.
"Security, secure the ship. Prepare for intruders," ordered the Captain. The Chief of Security stood up and raced to the turbolift. Just then, however, the aliens materialized in the bridge. They held odd weapons, which they pointed at the bridge crew.
"Surrender your ship for inspection."
