Season 5 Voyager Crew

[hamscamwitch]

this photo exists in canon, Future Janeway gives tuvok a copy as a gift in endgame.

which implies that at some point the senior staff lit the bridge up purple and took a picture together... presumably by giving the doctor's camera to an ensign and having them stand on a console

[darksideofthecoffeebean]

@hamscamwitch Yes, that's really strange. 😄 And remember, in "11:59" they did take a lovely group picture that they could've used in "Endgame".

[starberry-cupcake]

some highlights from the latest eps of voyager I've seen

this is everyone @ kathy at every step of this journey

chakotay is going through it, man

a puppy!!!

q recognizes that kathy is the best humanity has to offer and I wholeheartedly agree

case in point: oh my god

and, since the crew was indisposed and missed out on sleeveless kathy, they threw a luau to keep up with the attire theme

this man is in shambles

and, of course, some very important neelix appreciation because he's the best

[darksideofthecoffeebean]

She really is one of humanity's finest. 😄❤️

Incorrect The Cloud

Neelix: Captain! I’ve created a new beverage to cure your caffeine addiction! Janeway: Neelix, the last one tasted like a cry for help. Neelix: This one is better! It's a little hug in a mug! Janeway: It feels like I'm drinking an Armus

Chakotay: You seem tense. Janeway: I’m the captain of a lost starship and my coffee has been replaced by something that could be weaponised under the Geneva Convention. I’m absolutely thriving. Chakotay: Well, crew morale is low. Janeway: So is my coffee supply. Coincidence? I think not. Chakotay: You should try talking to a spirit animal like I do, it's healthier for you Janeway: Let me guess - yours is a bear Chakotay, crying: Why would you say that?!

Paris: We found a nebula full of coffee particles. Janeway: Excellent. Let’s fly directly into it without asking any follow‑up questions. Tuvok: A flawless plan.

Kes: Captain, the nebula might be alive. Janeway: Of course it is. Everything out here is alive. Even the replicator is plotting against me.

Janeway: We may have injured the nebula. Paris: We stabbed it with the ship, Captain. Janeway: Yes, but we did it gently. Like a little prod Tuvok: The readings indicate it was not a "little prod"

Chakotay: Captain, you need a spirit guide. Janeway: I need coffee. Chakotay: Your spirit guide might be a coffee- Janeway: Finally, something that makes sense. Chakotay: -beetle. A coffee beetle.

Chakotay: We need to heal the wound we caused. Janeway: Fine. Let’s go apologise to the giant space jellyfish. Torres: We can patch the wound with a warp plasma burst. Janeway: B’Elanna, that sounds like science. Do it.

EMH: If anyone dies, I want it on record that I disapproved of this entire mission. Janeway: Duly noted, Doctor.

Kim: The nebula is stabilising. Janeway: Well thank fuck for that.

Kim: Would you care to visit France this evening? Janeway: I do love France, what's the plan? Kim: A group of us are playing a game called pool Kim: It involves hitting things Janeway: That sounds delightful!

Chakotay: Welcome to France, care to join us for a game of pool? Janeway: It's perfect that you're here, I've been meaning to get my hands on your stick Paris: That's not how this game works, Cap- Chakotay: -No no no she can handle my stick whenever she wants Janeway: *pots everything* Chakotay: …I'm guessing your spirit animal was a pool shark then

[the-coffee-nebula]

Incorrect Phage

Janeway: Would you care to flirt over breakfast? Chakotay: Why wait till breakfast when we can just flirt right here in the corridor? Janeway: I like a man who thinks on his feet. And we can flirt again later on the bridge

Neelix: Surprise! I’ve opened a restaurant. I accept tips, compliments, and emotional validation. Janeway: The fuck Neelix? This was my private dining room! Neelix: Well now it's my kitchen. You'll have to flirt with Commander Chakotay in public now! Janeway: …I'm gonna go organise an away mission so I can replicate stuff and stay away from whatever the fuck is stinking out this room Neelix: Can I come too?

Chakotay: Away team, stay close to me. Neelix: Absolutely. I will immediately do the opposite.

Kim: Sir, he’s wandered off. Chakotay: Of course he has. Why do I even bother..

Neelix: Hello? Who's there? I bring with me only enthusiasm and zero caution!

EMH: His lungs have vanished Chakotay: That's kind of neat, I didn't know Talaxians could do that. Does this mean he'll be quieter from now on?

Kes: Can’t he have artificial lungs? EMH: Well that's a stupid idea... but actually…

Janeway: We’re going back down there with phasers, cos I'm hella pissed. Tuvok: Captain, the rock wall is fake. Janeway: Shoot it until it stops lying.

EMH: With hololungs he might live forever in a tube, unable to move, unable to leave this room. Kes: So… like a very sad houseplant. EMH: Precisely.

Neelix: Kes, Tom Paris is trying to steal you from me. Kes: Neelix, he’s literally just standing there. Neelix: Where? All I see is a big, ugly hormone looming over you

Paris, flying into the asteroid: Captain, this tunnel is getting narrow. Janeway: Use your judgement. Paris: My judgement says ‘no.’ Janeway: Override your judgement.

Tuvok: We appear to be in a hall of mirrors. Paris: I’ve always wanted to drive a starship through a funhouse. Chakotay: Let’s fire phasers at minimum power and hope for the best. Janeway: That is the most Starfleet sentence I’ve heard all week.

Janeway: Hey you, yeah you, ugly. Return Neelix’s lungs. Dereth: We can’t. We’ve installed them in my friend. Motura: But we'll make sure to give his species a good review on trustpilot Janeway: I sympathise with your disease, but if you steal organs from my crew again, I will personally end you. Motura: If is makes things better we can save Neelix's life. All it'll cost is another member of the crew a lung

Kes: I volunteer as tribute Dereth: Are we gonna leg it before they figure out her lungs only have a shelf life of like 7 years? Motura: Duh, of course we are

[sirellas]

Well, this should help.

[bizships]

I love them so much.

The fact that through all of that, he took the time to remember her birthday. He takes care of Kathryn as much as he takes care of The Captain.

[captainjanewaysdqvoyagercore]

This week's one-word photo prompt: baking

While Kathryn had always had trouble with the replicator in her quarters, she thought "baking is science," and she could surely bake the strawberry cake her traditionalist mom used to make the old-fashioned way if she could just have access to a kitchen and an oven.

Neelix adored Captain Janeway and couldn't refuse the use of the kitchen and equipment in Voyager's mess hall. Chakotay, Tuvok, B'Elanna, and a host of other crew members implored Neelix to keep the captain away from the kitchen, citing everything from concerns about damage to the ship's systems to fire hazards, but he allowed her full access to the space and scheduled extra time into his shift for the inevitable cleanup.

Kathryn worked from her mom's recipe that she had saved in a handwritten journal. Several flour spills, countless spoons, five cups of coffee, and one small fire later, she did manage to make one very small but delicious strawberry cake during her great baking adventure.

When Chakotay came to check in on her at the end of his shift on the bridge, he found the surfaces covered in flour, used utensils, plates, and more, and while he was surprised at the disastrous state of the kitchen, he couldn't help but think Kathryn looked adorable covered in flour, proudly showing him the small finished cake, and he gladly accepted the mug of coffee she offered him before he helped her to clean up the mess and slice the cake she'd spent the day baking into several paper thin slices so the entire senior staff could enjoy it after dinner that evening.

Incorrect Time and Again

Kim: Captain, this planet is dead. Janeway: Oh, I do love a mystery. Let's check it out!

Kes: I’m having visions. Neelix: Have you tried not doing that?

Paris: This was a really nice mall once upon a time Paris: Hey, what’s this glowing crack in the air? Oh shiny Janeway: The fuck Tom? Paris, *touches it*: Oops.

Latika: Demons! Paris: Finally, someone who understands me. Janeway: Tom, stop encouraging the locals.

Tuvok: We have detected a temporal distortion. Chakotay: In layman's terms? Tuvok: Time is being wibbly wobbly.

Activists: Hello tourists, we've kidnapped you! Janeway: Actually we're not tourists, we're aliens! Activist leader: She's insane

Activist Leader: Hey crazy people - Help us break into the power plant! Janeway: Absolutely not. Activist Leader: We have a gun. Janeway: Absolutely yes.

Paris: Captain, are we the bad guys? Janeway: Just shut up and keep befriending the kid, and don't get shot Paris: *gets shot* Janeway: Fucking hell, must I do everything myself?

Kim: We found the fracture again! Tuvok: Excellent. Now we simply need to violate physics.

Janeway: This reactor is going to explode because my crew are dumbasses. Activist Leader: Should we… leave? Janeway: No. We’re going to fix it by shooting it. Activist: Are you serious?!? Janeway: This is actually very on brand for us.

Janeway, firing phaser: Oh I can see the wibbly wobbles!

Janeway: Did something happen? Paris: I feel like I was just talking to someone with the same maturity level as me Kes: I remember everything. Neelix: No you don't. Kes: Okay, no I don't.

The Cloud

Tuvok’s personal log, stardate 48457. Today, our mission took us into a nebula that was not a nebula, in part due to Mr. Neelix’s choice to deny the Captain access to coffee. The Captain also informed me that Mr. Neelix offered her a coffee substitute of his own creation. Her reaction suggested the experiment was unsuccessful. I note this only because the Captain’s caffeine intake appears to correlate strongly with her command efficiency - something today's mission highlighted.

During a routine survey, we encountered the not-a-nebula. The Captain ordered an investigation, remarking that there was “coffee in that nebula”. I interpret this as an expression of hope, though I am concerned some junior officers may take her literally.

Despite clear indications that the not-a-nebula was hazardous, the Captain chose to proceed. The decision aligns with her established command style and was, therefore, unsurprising. I have observed that humans often attempt to improve morale through activities that place them in unnecessary danger; this remains a point of cultural divergence.

When the ship became trapped, I assisted in efforts to free us. The crew responded with their usual combination of determination and emotional commentary. I have found that vocalising one’s distress does not improve performance, but humans appear to find it beneficial.

After we escaped, further analysis revealed that the “nebula” was in fact a living organism. The Captain expressed concern that our actions had caused it harm. Her desire to rectify the situation was predictable, but admirable, though the decision to re‑enter the organism carried significant risk. I provided tactical support during the second incursion, during which the ship experienced additional turbulence and shield fluctuations.

Ultimately, we succeeded in stimulating the organism’s healing processes. The Captain expressed relief then went to get coffee. I refrained from comment.

Incorrect Caretaker

Janeway: Find me a pilot who’s talented, insubordinate, and deeply annoying. Owen: Good, take my son. He can be your problem now. Paris: I’m only co-operating because prison is boring. Janeway: Excellent. Let’s go find my missing Vulcan bestie and also ruin your life further.

Kim: Wow, my first day in Starfleet! I hope nothing traumatic happens. Stadi: *dies* Cavit: *dies dramatically* Caretaker: *banjo noises* Surprise! You’re all in the Delta Quadrant now. I'll be stealing your new kid, k thx bye!

Doctor: I’m a hologram, not a therapist, but I can tell morale is already terrible.

Neelix: Hello strangers! I will now attach myself to your crew like an enthusiastic parasite!

B'Elanna: I hate you, Starfleet. Kim: I kind of like you, Maquis.

Kazon: Give us water or we’ll shoot you. Janeway: Here, have some water Neelix: No, no water for you! *shoots the water* Kes: Please take me with you. I’ve been imprisoned for having opinions and terrible taste in men.

Chakotay: Paris, I hate you. Paris: Great, because I hate me too.

Caretaker: I’m dying. Also, I may have accidentally doomed an entire planet. Oops. Caretaker: I couldn't get Harry Kim pregnant so everyone's really screwed now *dies* Tuvok: Captain, fuck that dead rock - we can use the array to return home. Janeway: Or - and hear me out - we could blow it up and strand ourselves forever. Tuvok: That is… a choice.

B'Elanna: This fucking sucks. Chakotay: Not gonna lie, I'm quite happy with this arrangement

Paris: So, am I still a criminal? Janeway: Yes, but now you’re my criminal. Chakotay: And I’m your first officer because you need someone to do the paperwork? Janeway: Kind of? You also give me legitimacy with your crew… and you're kinda hot Chakotay: … Who's the dude in that photo with you? Janeway: … Who?

Janeway: We’re 70,000 light‑years from home. Kim: How long will it take to get back? Janeway: About 75 years. Neelix: Plenty of time for me to experiment with Leola root! Tuvok: I foresee no logical escape from this.

STAR TREK: VOYAGER // S7E11: Shattered

[paksthestoic]

currently thinking about how any time a member of the Voyager crew is kidnapped/missing, Janeway descends with either diplomacy or guns, but a near 100 percent success rate (RIP Hogan and Carey).

This is both out of the simple fact that Voyager can’t afford to lose too many people or it stops functioning, and also Kathryn Janeway has so much guilt that it’s basically walking with her in lockstep everywhere she goes - her albatross, her skeletons in the closet, her constant shadow? Just pick an analogy for inner darkness that appeals and you’ve got her guilt described. She HAS to get them home.

It may seem out of character, then, that any time a member of Voyager wants to leave Voyager voluntarily (See Kes, the Doctor, Neelix), once she gets past her initial stricken grief, she allows it every time. If Voyager can’t afford to lose too many bodies, she should theoretically refuse any attempt to leave with just as much gusto as she puts into rescue missions. Maybe you could skirt that with Kes and Neelix, but the Doctor was undeniably mission critical, and she WOULD have let him go if he hadn’t changed his mind.

Except that it’s perfectly in character because her guilt supersedes the minutiae of running a starship every time when it comes to her people. Every time. She knows full well that she trapped them there. She offers everyone chances to leave the ship (the 37s) or, at the very least, leave her behind (Night). She can’t fathom anyone wanting to stay trapped on her ship of the damned.

So even though she needs all hands, even though she would argue and reason and - depending on the person - plead, any person who genuinely wants to leave Voyager is going to get the patented “eyes full of unshed tears and a smile she doesn’t mean” look and her well wishes. because she’d rather ground the ship and disappear into the sunset like an old dog putting herself out to pasture than keep even one person trapped in a hell she views herself as making for them.

…this has been a ramble. but I think that the main point is that I really believe she’ll hold anyone and anything at gunpoint for the sake of her crew, even if that occasionally means pointing the barrel at her own wants and the ship’s needs.

Character study drawings - "The Fight" series ✏🥊

The result of a drawing exercise in which I use a bunch of screen shots of my two favorite drawing subjects 😉 from an episode of Voyager (in this case, The Fight) as references for pencil sketching in my sketchbook.

They're not perfect but I was actually rather pleased with the way they turned out, and I thought some of you may get a kick out of them too so I'm sharing 🥰

If you're curious about the process, I drew the basic sketches with a pencil in my sketchbook and then moved them to my ipad to fix some things (usually the eyes 🙄 and noses) and to add the shading.

This was fun, I might do more in the future! 😄 Any episode requests? 😉
