KIM: So, I guess your relationship isn't exactly a secret anymore.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

PARIS: Do you think anybody on this ship can keep a secret?

(There is a crash and groan from the galley.)

[Galley]

(Neelix is on the floor, curled up and twitching.)

PARIS: Neelix!

 

[mattman8907]

NEELIX: What's, what's happening?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

PARIS: Paris to the Doctor. I'm bringing Neelix to Sickbay. It's an emergency.

 

[May 20]

[Sickbay]

(Neelix is covered in his Talaxian spots.)
EMH: Now pay attention, Mister Paris. These scans should indicate whether. Hmm.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

NEELIX: What is it?

 

[Athena28]

EMH: It seems that your DNA has been hyper stimulated, just like Commander Chakotay's.

 

[Kertrats47]

PARIS: But Neelix doesn't seem to be aging.

 

[May 20]

EMH: No, the effects are quite different.

 

[Kertrats47]

NEELIX: If anything, I look like a Mylean. They occupy a region of space near Talax.

 

[May 20]

EMH: Interesting. Do Talaxians and Myleans share a common ancestry?

 

[Kertrats47]

NEELIX: Not that I know of.

 

[sekundant]

EMH: Do the two races ever intermarry?

 

[Kertrats47]

NEELIX: Yes. As a matter of fact, my great-grandfather was Mylean.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

EMH: Then one eighth of your genetic material was inherited from him. Those must be the genes which have become stimulated.

 

[May 20]

NEELIX: Too bad my great grandfather wasn't a little better looking.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

EMH: Hmm. As far as I can tell, his condition seems stable. I'm going to leave you in charge of Sickbay so I can continue the DNA analysis.

 

[sekundant]

PARIS: If anyone else comes in I'll run a cellular scan. Is there anything else I can do?

 

[Athena28]

EMH: Do your best to keep them comfortable. Until we have more information, that's the best either of us can do.

 

[May 20]

(Later, Paris is working in the Doctor's office. Neelix walks stiff-legged to where Chakotay is sitting on a biobed, carrying a glass of water.)
NEELIX: I thought you might be thirsty.
