Miral Paris in Trek Lit.

[Tracy Trek]

I haven't kept up with all of the Voyager Relaunch novels. I just read the first few actually. Have any of the later books explained just how the Kuvah-magh prophecy applies to her? The last bit I recall reading,

Spoiler: B'Elanna had just...

Run across a prophecy about the Kuvah-magh while researching it at the monastery on Boreth. Tom had been recalled to duty to serve as Chakotay's XO, so she and baby Miral were on their own. She started taking the thing more seriously when she ran across a Kuvah-Magh prophecy that stated "I am a Voyager". Then she received a warning that she and the baby were in danger.

So anything you post (if there's anything relevant) you can put it in a spoiler tag in case someone else reading doesn't want to be spoiled.

Spoiler: Voyager Relaunch spoilers

Torres faked her and Miral's deaths during the Borg invasion with Paris's help and went into hiding, putting together a slipstream shuttle to catch up with Voyager and stay safe aboard; there was a lot of fallout from that both immediately and going forward, including briefly breaking Paris's and Kim's friendship due to the betrayal of trust and leading Paris's mom to challenge for custody once it became known.

As for the prophecy itself, though, Knowing the stress and pressure he himself felt as a potential savior of his people, as a gift for Miral to express thanks to the Voyager crew so that she didn't have to go through the same thing, Q Junior made Miral's status essentially irrelevant to her safety by retroactively arranging that the Warriors of Grethor had died in the Borg invasion earlier that year. I don't believe it's come up since then; I imagine it technically still applies, but not in a way that puts her in danger anymore.

Although Q Junior's exact quote was "Being a messiah isn't all it's cracked up to be. I've just spared her that," so it's possible that he removed her kuvah'magh status entirely.

Thank you. Not exactly what I was expecting.

Spoiler: VGR Relaunch

I'm not sure, but wasn't there some kind of illness among the klingon people leading to newborns somewhat resembling Fekl'ar or something and Miral's DNA was essential in curing that? Did something like that happen?

Just curious, what were you expecting?

An aside...

Spoiler

Tom and B'Elanna weren't planning on staying with Voyager. They were going to take off and live out their lives on some friendly planet in the Delta Quadrant but Miral was sick when they finally got back together (some childhood thing). Captain Eden allowed them to stay on Voyager but under assumed names. Q Jr fixed things in a later book.

Spoiler: VGR: Full Circle

Okay, I was not entirely wrong: JoH'a mu'gA

I don't know. Based on what was described in the spoiler tag, it seems like they just dropped the story like they didn't exactly know where to go with it. I guess I just thought it would be something more complex.

In the episode Prophecy, she (or specifically her stem cells) were a salvation to that group of Klingons in the Delta Quadrant.

Edit: What Jinn described in a spoiler sounds something like what I read spoilers about somewhere else.

It was the only storyline Beyer carried over from the Golden novels.

For discussion's sake, in STO Lieutenant Moral
Paris is kidnapped and taken into the 23rd century. Her blood allows the Qu'Vat virus to be cured, signaling the end of the forehead-divide.

 

[stardream]

I could never get into the STO storyline....I think it's because I like the idea of the Borg being gone.

 

[Tracy Trek]

I assume STO means Star Trek Online? Also, if she got sent to the 23rd century in that, did she interact with any of the TOS characters?

Aye, that's the one. She didn't interact with any established TOS characters, other than the Guardian of Forever. However, Spock and the 1701 figure into the story.
