I've had these story ideas knocking around for a while and would quite like to expand on some of them.
I was hoping for some feedback on what you thought the potential of these story ideas were and whether you liked them or not.
They're all for Voyager as I find writing for DS9 and TNG quite a bit more difficult for some reason.
Season 6: Dilemmas
-Janeway faces a dilemma of whether to assist a warp capable but warlike race reach beyond the solar system in the hope of continuing their species.
Season 3: Escape
-Harry and Kes are trapped when war breaks out on a politically unstable planet the crew are exploring in the hope of finding vital supplies. As the threat of planetwide destruction looms, they must rely on each other to make their way across a chaotic city to contact Voyager.
Season 6: Consequences
-The Voyager encounters a shuttlecraft containing refugees of a colony attacked by a species that “appeared out of nowhere” and ravaged their planet. The crew debate about the possibility of whether it was the Vaduuar and whether they should risk investigating.
Season 5: Primetime
-Trapped unaware in a recreation of Voyager by a race addicted to reality television, the crew experience a sequence of increasingly bizarre and frightening situations.
Season 5: |Stuck on a name for this one|
-Voyager encounters a shuttle containing a young girl claiming to be the offspring of Seven and Kim and a recording of an older Seven and Harry explaining a future they never thought possible.
Season 3: Beyond Reach
-A young psychic called Dhitat visiting Voyager abducts Kes forcing her into a virtual world where she must obey his commands or face death, but is this “virtual” world what it seems or has Dhitat unleashed a frightening new dimension of Kes’s powers?
Season 2: Compromises
-Torres awakes 10 years into the future to find that Voyager has been destroyed and she has settled down with a delta quadrant native and started a family.
-If you have any questions on what direction I'm planning to take on some episodes, feel free to ask-
-Here are some further explanations of some of the episodes-
Dilemmas: Its not a simple answer "no".
The (dying) planet would be trapped within a nebula and the race would not have the technology to send their ships through.
Janeway is reminded of the warlike appearance of the Humans when the Vulcans first arrived and hence the dilemma. Should she give the aliens a chance at life or is it too risky to unleash a warlike species on the quadrant?
Escape: I see this as a fairly simple get from A to B with a lot of obstacles in between. I see this as a good chance to get to know more about Harry and Kes and how they would react in this situation, two characters we never really saw together very much. I also see some beginnings of romantic involvement here.
Consequences: I see this as a Seven episode with her dealing with the guilt she feels about awakening the Vaadwaur. The crew decides that the risk of the attackers of the colony actually being the Borg is too high and so they eventually decide not to go and investigate but rather to steer clear and increase speed.
Seven would take the Delta Flyer herself feeling that she was, for the first time since she had been freed from the collective, once again responsibility for the displacement of a people.
She would attempt to sabotage their attempts at colonising the planet before being captured - Voyager would save the day yet not the colony.
Beyond Reach: The episode would revolve around Kes seemingly being in a virtual/holodeck like environment forced to carry out exact missions or face death. But we will find out that while Kes is on his ship the entire time, he's actually tapping into her hidden power of some sort of astral projection and that everything Kes does in this virtual world is actually being done on the planet through her projection - he's using her as a weapon to steal information etc.
Compromises: B'Ellana awakens with this memory loss but is eventually convinced of the facts and begins to quickly fall for who she thinks is her husband. We eventually discover however that her husband had visited Voyager weeks before and had become infatuated with her yet she spurned his advances.
He abducted B'Ellana and created this artificial environment to make her his wife.
When B'Ellana founds out, she is naturally angry and disturbed but it helps her realise that if she is more open and less cold, she will have a bigger chance of finding happiness.
The One with Seven and Harry's Child: My idea would be for the girl to have escaped a disaster on the planet where the future Kim family to have been living. She was sent through time by Seven to the present Voyager.
All this would be explained in the recording and the girl's DNA would seem to check out.
We eventually find out that the radiation from this disaster is affecting the girl and she is dying. Seven contemplates motherhood and learns what it means to love as the girl dies from her debilitating condition. Harry also matures and begins to contemplate his long term future on Voyager.
In the end however, after the girl is dies, we are informed via a message that it was in fact not their daughter but a dying shapeshifter who had visited Voyager weeks before that had never known love and wanted to know what it meant to be loved before it died.
The feelings felt through the experience and the thoughts that it brings up in the minds of Harry and Seven remain even as they find out that the girl wasn't their daughter.
