Summary: That brief moment in The Swarm when Doc and B'Elanna exchanged a glance in the holodeck.

Disclaimer: Paramount owns Star Trek and the Swarm and Doc and B'Elanna. I don't.

Author's Note: The Swarm has many funny moments, including: "Tuvok, Harry, do it"; "I'm ready when Lt. Torres is" (Harry); "Lt. Torres, are you ready for Mr Kim's (ahem) *frictional pulse*"... Uh, yes, well. The best of them all would have to be just when B'Elanna got called away to Engineering and the Doc says, "I wish.. I wish you didn't have to go" looking for all the world like a lost puppy, and B'Elanna gives him a wondrous look and answers, "I'll hurry. I promise." ::sigh::


Oblivion


My memory circuitry is fragmenting. That's what they say. I can't remember huge patches of my existence - where are we? What ship is this? Who have I treated? What medical staff do we have? But I do remember something... a woman. She is beautiful, I suppose, strong and vulnerable all at once. And she is with me now.

I must cling to this memory, I think, or else I will lose everything. They say I've been activated for two years. I don't remember that. I remember this station, partially; I remember oblivion. Black as night. Black as this woman's hair.

She is called away, but I must cling onto her. If I forget her, I will forget everything. "I wish you didn't have to go," I say. She looks at me, and I see that she has beautiful eyes, brown eyes.

"I'll hurry. I promise," she tells me. Who is she? Is she my friend? My colleague? Something more?

I remember nothing but oblivion.

Nothing.
