[ today finds captain janeway hit with her very first curse. she's young again, standing at the threshold of change wherein a tragedy that has yet to occur will help drive her into the captain's chair. but for now, she's simply a scientist, a recent graduate of the academy who, from her perspective, has found herself sucked into some temporal anomaly while in the midst of her first assignment. at this point in her life, she's very dedicated to her field, and has no aspirations of setting her sights on command. in fact, when commander chakotay insisted that she'd one day be wearing red with four pips pinned to her collar, she laughed, because that's not her. maybe that's another kathryn janeway, one who doesn't mind being called by her first name,but it's certainly not the one who prefers to be called katie.

after being ordered out of her uniform, katie found a decent change of clothes, pocketed her combadge and grabbed the archaic device the commander had insisted was the primary means of communication in this place, and set out on a morning jog around the city. later in the afternoon, she'd stop for a breather in xanadu and pull out her older self's cell phone to fiddle with it some and ask the network a very important question. ]

Does anyone know where a girl can get a decent bowl of ice cream in this place?

[ city girl. she's spent enough time in san fransisco to play the role of a city girl. (she wished she was one often enough when she hit her teens, the allure of the outdoors fading along with her childhood years.) ]

Haven't spent time in a farm at any point in my life.

[ city boy too, unless he's on the job. even then, there's no time for sightseeing or relaxation.

they've walked out of xanadu and into the city, and it still baffles him sometimes how it can look like a normal place. not necessarily a metropolis, but it has the essential places. ]

Lived in California for most of it.

Clearly not the farming parts of California.

[ snarky then, snarky now. it's a janeway quality no matter what her age. ]
