Acknowledgements: I'd like to thank Dakota for convincing me I could write this story and Maquis Leader, Anne Rose, Squirrelly and the rest of the fan fic writers at Voyagerangel who so patiently answered questions and helped this newbie get this story together and on the net. I'd also like to acknowledge the websites Lower Decks, Janet's Star Trek Voyager Site and Jim's Review Archive at Delta Blues which I found most helpful in writing this story. There have also been a number of other websites I've visited for nonVoyager information that have been useful but I won't mention them here so as not to give the plot away.

WARNING: This is a rather long work and is divided into parts . I only mention this so that if you are someone who has a hard time stopping yourself from reading a work from start to finish in one sitting that you will know to not start this late at night.

This story is set immediately after the seventh season episode Friendship One and replaces the episodes that followed it. I've rated the story NC-17 though only a handful of scenes qualify for such a rating; however, I don't believe one can get the full story without those scenes so I haven't bother to rate the different parts separately.
