章 37: The Randomness of Life/Short Story
AN: I had a plan for this story. And three days later I forgot what it was so...here. This is the end result and I am too tired to rewrite it.
Chapter 39: The Randomness of Life/Short Story.
(Three days later.)
Bini Filters POV
-----
*Beep. Beep.*
I groaned and opened my eyes in my dark quarters, tightly hugging my teddy bear and tightly wrapped in my blankets early in the mourning.
*Beep. Beep.*
That is not my wake up alarm. I slightly lifted my head to see my padd was on and flashing an incoming message on the crew chatroom. God, I should not stay up doing stupid reports anymore. I groaned again as my stiff joints moved and swiped the padd up, laying back on my bed and allowed my eyes to adjust to the light and opened up the chatroom.
-----
MichealTheCaptain joined: The Chatroom.
MichealTheCaptain added UnknownFilters.
MichealTheCaptain: Bini?
MichealTheCaptain: Bini?
-----
I sighed and put the padd down, staring up at the ceiling in annoyance.
"Computer, what time is it in standard time?" I asked, blinking my eyes several times to try and wake up.
"The time is 4 am."
Great. I only had two hours of sleep. Great. Why the hell is he up?
-----
UnknownFilters: It is 4 am. You know that right?
MichealTheCaptain: yeah
UnknownFilters: GO TO BED.
MichealTheCaptain: I cant sleep. I had a really bad nightmarre.
UnknownFilters: Tell your mother.
MichealTheCaptain: mommy isn't here. idk where she is.
UnknownFilters: That is not my problem. Just ask the computer where she is. Very simple. We have tech for a reason.
MichealTheCaptain: But I have a question
UnknownFilters: What?
MichealTheCaptain: How do i hack into the EMH's holo-thing.
UnknownFilters: Why would you need to know that?
MichealTheCaptain: Classified.
UnknownFilters: I am not going to tell you unless you tell me.
MichealTheCaptain: I want to play a prank.
UnknownFilters: That can mean many things. What prank specifically?
MichealTheCaptain: a prank
UnknownFilters: I am just about ready to go back to sleep. Tell me or I am leaving.
MichealTheCaptain: I want to make him have wings and emotions
UnknownFilters: As much as that seems hilarious, but WHY?
MichealTheCaptain: he yelled at me today when I got hurt running. Mommy said something about us being little angles and he didn't agree with that, he said we were more like devils, then he and mommy got into a fight and I want revenge.
UnknownFilters: Wow. I don't know what to say to that.
MichealTheCaptain: please just tell me how to do it already
UnknownFilters: How stupid do you think I am exactly? Again, it is 4 AM. Bed. Now.
MichealTheCaptain: you are being mean.
UnknownFilters: Wrong. I am tired. Let me sleep.
MichealTheCaptain: PLEASE
UnknownFilters banned MichealTheCaptain from: The Chatroom.

I turned off my padd and tossed it on my bed, I snuggled back into my covers and started to drift back to sleep.
"Janeway to Filters." A strong childlike voice entered my room.
Ahem. Fuckin Micheal is calling me on my combadge. Maybe I should just tell the Captain.
"Janeway to Filters, I won't stop bothering you unless you help me."
I growled and rolled over to my nightstand, swiping my combadge and tapping it to turn it on.
"Filters here. Listen up, I need to sleep so leave me the hell alone. Filters out." I barked back and slammed my badge down on my table, then shifted to be on my back and looked up to the ceiling.
"Janeway to Filters. You woke up Sarah."
Oh my god. Why the hell does the universe hate me so much!?
Janeway to Filters." The young, exhausted and annoyed voice of Sarah called over.
I am thinking about taking a phaser and just shooting myself right now just for some shut-eye. I gave out a frustrated sigh and grabbed my combadge again.
"Filters here. What is it, Sarah?" I asked impatiently.
"You *Yawn* woke me with *yawn* all your yelling." She said groggily.
"Sorry, Sarah." I started softly, pushing down my anger. "Go back to sleep and if Micheal shows any signs of annoying me again, get your Mother. Alright?"
"Alright. Bye, Bini."
"Bye Sarah. Filters out." I said and cut the channel.
I tucked myself in, for the third time, and drifted back to sleep. Third times the charm.

Tom Paris's POV
B'Elanna, Harry and I all sat at one of the few empty tables in the messhall eating breakfast before our shifts.
"So, got any juicy news anyone?" I asked, hoping to get something good to fuel the rumour hill.
"Unforntantly no. Nothing." Harry replied, B'Elanna rolled her eyes and took a bit of her food that was unusually edible today.
"Is that really all you two care about? Rumours and mysteries of the secret life of everyone in the crew, especially our fellow senior officers." B'Elanna complained and leaned against the table.
"Well, it's not like we all work in engineering where we get to do something every moment of every day. We are just lowly officers that deal with the malfunction whenever engineering gets lazy." I said, B'Elanna narrowed her eyes at me and barred her teeth at me.
"What?" She said dangerous low. "We are the only reason this piece of trash is still flying."
Bini, who just happened to be walking by our table halted beside B'Elanna and looked down at her in shock.
"Did you just call Voyager a piece of trash?" She asked with a raised eyebrow."
"Indeed she did." I said with a grin. Bini blinked a couple of times before headed back to her table, where Mollie was. Setting a food/water bowl down for her on the ground before diving into her own meal. Harry gestured for me to look at him as B'Elanna looked ready to rip my head from my body.
"I have a serious question." He started. "Do you have a death wish?"
"Yes, he does." B'Elanna barked. I gulped as she gave me an evil grin and clenched her hand into a fist and hit her open hand, then gestured towards me.
"Tom, start rethinking your life." Harry suggested.
"Believe me, I am already doing it." I muttered.

Bini Filters POV
I have a god damn headache because of Micheal and his stunt last night...Well, this mourning at 4 am. We settled it with the Captain...mostly. She is giving me half the day off but that means I need to take care of Mollie according to Micheal and Sarah. So now, I am eating breakfast with a dog. Not one of the strangest things I have done.
I chewed my toast slowly rereading my report for Tuvok. Thinking about how I could make it sound...interesting. Not for Tuvok, no, no, no. For anyone else who has to read this steaming pile of useless words that really mean nothing. Nothing happened a week ao in the brig, nothing happened three days ago, and nothing happened yesterday.
*Beep. Beep.*
Just...damn it.
I switched my padd's tabs to the crew chatroom again.
-----
TomFlyBoy entered The Chatroom.
Harry entered The Chatroom
Harry added UnknownFilters to The Chatroom
TomFlyBoy: Bini
UnknownFilters: What? I am busy. Why couldn't you have just called me on the combadge? Or, I don't know, come over to my table. You know I am in the messhall.
Harry: Oh we know all right.
TomFlyBoy: WTF was that, Harry?
Harry: Sarcasm.
UnknownFilters: ...What?
Harry: idk move on.
TomFlyBoy: Right. OK, why are you so tired. You looked like you just walked through hell and back, waiting to die, and just can't because your life is too sad.
UnknownFilters: wow. Just wow.
-----
I looked up from the padd and over to Tom and Harry's table. Tom was nodding towards me to try and say he was right as, Harry, with a confused expression, was reading the padd and B'Elanna was talking with Samantha Wildman at the other table about who knows what.
I am too tired to deal with people right now. I shut off my padd and rushed out of the mess hall before Neelix tried to drag me into another personal hell of a conversation.
I walked into the corridor and nodded to passing crewmembers o my way to my shift in the brig. Praying that no one else got in my way.
