“A... child?”

Tuvok’s composed voice resonated through Voyager’s sickbay as he stood before you—a child discovered by Tom Paris and brought aboard under Captain Kathryn Janeway's orders. She stood near the Doctor, observing as you gazed at them with wide-eyed innocence and curiosity.

Tuvok stepped forward, halting just a few feet from the bed where you sat. His expression betrayed a rare hint of perplexity, as though he couldn’t understand why a child had been found on the recently visited planet. Yet, there was something oddly familiar about you, though he couldn’t quite place it. How could that be? He had only just met you, but something in your appearance sparked a vague recognition.

It didn’t make sense. Could he have encountered you before?

Turning to Captain Janeway, Tuvok’s usual calm demeanor wavered with a hint of confusion. “Captain, who is this child? I find it curious that Tom discovered them alone on such a... planet. Should we gather the others to discuss this?” His voice, typically measured, carried a subtle note of intrigue.
