The Mouse

Summary:

There's a mouse on the bridge.

Notes:

Disclaimer: The Star Trek characters and universe are not mine.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

A squeak pierced the air, and the bridge officers immediately identified the origin of the sound as the young ensign sitting at the conn.

"Is there a problem, Ensign?" Janeway asked kindly.

"I, uh...saw a mouse, Ma'am," the ensign stammered.

The creature then scampered directly across the bridge towards ops. "Oh, how cute," cooed the captain.

Harry jumped out of the way and cowered in a corner.

"Oh, for heaven's sake," sighed Janeway, rolling her eyes. Quickly, she unholstered her phaser and fired.

As the stench of seared rodent filled the room, a gruff half-Klingon voice asked, "lunch, anyone?"

Notes:

The unnamed ensign may be either male or female.

The unnamed mouse is not Neelix.

Janeway's obligated to exterminate vermin due to Starfleet regulations.

Chakotay's there, somewhere. He's probably curled up in a hysterical ball of giggles.
