Sickbay

Seska had managed to cut herself while working a shift in the hydroponics bay, and it was a bad enough gash that she'd gone to Sickbay to get the wound treated. While there, in the middle of her conversation with the Doctor regarding the proper and careful use of sharp instruments for trimming the growing vegetation to Seska's great surprise, none other than the Captain herself had arrived in sickbay!

Looking positively green..and had been immediately whisked to a treatment bay where even the privacy screen hadn't quite blocked out the obvious sound of Captain High And Mighty Janeway puking her guts out into a nausea bag!

The Doctor turned over the treatment of her cut hand to one of the other medical staff and quickly took off to tend the Captain.. Leaving Seska with ears straining to hear what was being said in the next treatment room.

The hum from the dermal regenerator drowned out most of what was being said, but Seska had always been possessed of a very good sense of hearing and she was able to catch bits and pieces of the muffled conversation going on .. enough to know that the slow poison being added to the Captain's meals and coffee was having the hoped for effect. Janeway was indeed sick.. and trying to cover it up.

It was all she could do not to break into a wide grin at the news..

She needed to get this information to the others, let them know the plan was working.. all they had to do was continue as they'd discussed, slowly increase the dosage just a bit so that she'd get worse.. then when the fatal dose was delivered the Captain's death would just seem like yet another tragic occurance on this cursed voyage..

And then Chakotay would be the one to step into the commanding officer's position, after all Janeway herself had chosen him as her First Officer, as the next one in the chain of command..

Not even the 'fleeters could argue against his taking over, not when their precious Janeway had chosen him personally..
