/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Agreed, the other choice would have resulted in the loss of two individuals with very important individual functions that couldn't realistically be compressed down to one person when they were stranded
The only other option that they could have done was some sort of transporter cloning shenanigans, cloning Tuvix and then separating the "original". But that comes with a whole separate set of ethical implications on its own
Oh hell, imagine if they had "Rikered" Tuvix, then had all three trapped on a shuttle together. Tuvok would murder them both
I think Tuvok probably had security clearances that might have been problematic to duplicate. Not that that would stop Janeway. I think it just means Tuvix would end up joining Section 31 after they get back to Earth
Would make for a better second half of that season though.
