Not my OC. Just found it on an old hard drive when I was looking for something else.

Why not simply use the transporter to create a second Tuvix so you can murder him twice?

Think of all the different methods you could use.

Make a second Tuvix, merge them together, then split them both twice!

So what you're saying is we can use artificially supplied Tuvixes as fuel to get home?

Can use them as food source too!

No one was. That's part of the tragedy. Tuvix said "you will have to live with it" or something but did they or did they just forget?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago (3 children)

They all completely forgot. It's only the fans who remembered.

I couldn't sleep for weeks. Neelix survived. Such a tragedy. 😖

And Mariner, for some reason.

They count as fans.

I didn't remeber, but I have never been a huge Voyager fan.

they had tuvix tuesdays where they all made margaritas and celebrated not having to deal with tuvix.

I love Janeway she's turning into my favorite capitain so far (after Picard). I'm on season 3 I started watching star trek from the beginning last year so please no spoilers. Yes, she had to make some tough decisions but killing Tuvix was no-brainer. Do it! He would have been ok with killing two people (please don't give me the their alive inside him. They are trapped inside you Tuvix c'mon!) who (at least one of them) would be willing to give his life for the two. Needs of the many... Btw nice name I'd love an iced raktajino rn

Yeah, you got it. The point of the episode was that it was a difficult, near-impossible decision but someone had to make it, and as captain it fell to her. Clearly she didn't derive any joy from it, and I would imagine it weighed on her heavily for a long time after, but it did let her basically bring her longtime friend (Tuvok) back to life as well as a valued member of the crew (Neelix). Tuvok was both tactical officer and chief of security and was critical (in the grand scheme of things) to getting Voyager home safely. So "needs of the many" applies to both Neelix and Tuvok as well as the rest of the crew.

I'll make the Tuvix jokes because they're fun, but "Tuvix" (the episode) explores a really complex moral dilemma that, as far as I'm concerned, has no right or wrong answer.

Edit: Thanks! That was kind of my thought when I registered this username. I thought I was being clever and original, but in the Trek novels I started reading after I had this username, iced raktajino is mentioned many times so it's not quite as original as I thought haha.

Prime directive finally caught up with her

No coffee for the wicked.

Just tell her Tuvix somehow reappeared - she will instinctively break out of prison & shank him for good.

I don't know why but I didn't even realize that this was the same actress
