Chakotay and Torres had been waiting for over an hour for Tom Paris to return. Since Voyager's return to Earth, the lieutenant seemed to be becoming lax in his duties.

"Paris,come in,,," Chakotay tapped his badge.

"I'm here, I'm here...." he stumbled out of the brush covered in vines, leaves and dried branches. "But I really think you should see this...."

"What ?" Torres asked.

"Follow me," he lead the way back to a dry river bed. Following it for thirty meters to a lake, they noticed a village of blue-skinned natives. They all had white hair except for a few women inceremonial dresses with long blonde hair.

"I don't understand." Torres whispered. "What's the big deal ?"

"The statue !"

All the natives were chanting around a twelve foot tall marble statue of a long-haired female Starfleet officer in the center of a sacrifical pond. They all mustered the name of their goddess as best as they could in the confines of their native language. "Kay-Ro-Lyn,,,,Kay-Ro-Lyn,,,,,Kay-Ro-Lyn,,,,"
