And what do you think the non-holographic life forms aboard Voyager were? As I recall, the alien in that episode used telepathy to lure the crew to their deaths by making them see what they most wanted to. Pitcher plants lure insects to their deaths by making them think they were going to have the most wonderful meal imaginable. What the insects didn't know was that they themselves were about to be the meal.
Perhaps name her after a tea or cake? I was looking for a suitable image for another round morphing, and I found this... Well I just peed my pants, so I'm going quit morphing and do laundry instead. Edit! Edit! Edit! I didn't notice that! Eek!
Mark could always give her one of the pups. Of course when Janeway finally sees him after coming back home, she gives dog Molly a silent signal and Molly immediately neuters him.
Late to this. The Hirogen had him under pretty close watch, even if it was technically within his authority. I hardly know what's more unlikely, people liking Kim if he'd gotten promoted or people thinking rank matters when Seven of Nine wasn't even in StarFleet. But for the record, promoting Kim would have given him equal rank to Paris and Torres. Given how stubborn the character could be, hypothetically leaving simple seniority in date of commission to Paris and Torres, who were irregularly commissioned, versus a StarFleet Academy graduate? Kim was the guy who led a crew delegation to Tuvok. That's a threat of mutiny. Maybe Tuvok "logically" convinced Janeway his authority required not promoting Kim? If the voyage home had taken so long that the older generation was gone, frankly as written, there's no way Paris could have stood up to the Kim in The Chute, Resolutions, The Killing Game, Timeless, The Disease or Endgame.
