Game VOY Episode Pitch Game

[FederationHistorian]

"Cipher" - Voyager encounters a series of strange messages made up of letters, hieroglyphs and binary. Upon recalling a similar puzzle in the USS Horizon logs from the late 2160s, Janeway and Kim study the logs and then work to decrypt the puzzling messages. Meanwhile, Naomi gets a puzzling letter from Icheb, and when she asks the crew about it, they are just as confused as she is; it turns out its benign and Icheb was simply overly emotionally stimulated after a session in the holodeck when he wrote it, and did not realize how illegible the message was before sending it to Naomi.

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

“Push Factors and Pull Factors”- Inexplicably, Voyager's crew divides into two factions; those who wish to remain in the Delta Quadrant and those who want to go back to the Alpha. Arguments over the issue turn violent and mutinous, dividing friends and lovers, parent and child. The Doctor is the only one unaffected. He discovers that the aliens who visited a week ago have bugged the ship and manipulated the crew into choosing sides, for the purpose of observing both sides of an argument and learning about their subjects. Can he snap them out of it before the fight ends in death?

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

"From Qo'noS with Love"- A wormhole opens up before Voyager. At first, they think it might be a way home. But it's actually a pocket in which a Klingon ship equipped with an illegal superweapon had become trapped in, which prevented a war over a century ago. The Klingon ship refuses to listen to Janeway's insistence that they are in the wrong time and place, and are determined to bomb "Earth", or at least a planet that reads on their sensors as Earth (due to being in the same relative space as Earth would have been from their previous location). Meanwhile, B'Elanna tries to figure out a way to stop them, either by disarming the weapon, or shutting the ship up in the pocket again.

Next episode: "Collective Lenses"

 

[FederationHistorian]

"Collective Lenses" - When an anomaly suddenly appears over an in habited world that is in the middle of trade negotiations with Voyager, Janeway must with the various alien governments in the solar system to collapse the among with the deflector dish, or the alien’s equivalent of one. Meanwhile, sickbay gets flooded with patients after the crew start seeing illusory images of individuals on the ship. And while those individuals aren’t real, internal sensors suggest otherwise.

Next episode – “2378 BCE”

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Hmmm, I was expecting a Borg episode (hence "collective"). Nice!

 

[FederationHistorian]

Hmmm, I was expecting a Borg episode (hence "collective"). Nice!

I thought of that, even as a B plot, and then decided on something more original.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

“2378 BCE” - Convinced that Humans of today rely too much on their technology, Q snaps Voyager into a stone age starship aesthetic/environment on the inside, running on primitive tools (rocks, fire, water, sticks, bones, hunting and gathering instead of replicators, uniforms made of furs and plant material, etc). The ship is perilously close to a whirlpool and they have to find an old solution to a new problem. Meanwhile, Torres and Paris try to draw each other's portrait as a couples activity.

Next episode: "Fairy Ring" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_ring)

 

[FederationHistorian]

"Fairy Ring" - The crew of Voyager falls under a hallucinatory spell when they enter a pocket of dead space where there are no stars and radiation level are high due to black holes of various sizes that populate it. While easy to traverse within a couple of hours, the increasingly erratic behaviour of the crew makes the journey more difficult than necessary. They either become increasing stressed or increasingly opulent, and regularly mess around with the environmental controls. There is also a creature onboard that is increasingly growing in size across several cargo bays, that seems to have originated in the airponics bay. Oddly, only Neelix seems to be unaffected, after a brief stint in Holodeck 2 while observing an annual Talaxian ritual. Is Neelix also going insane and he does not realize it? That depends on the viewpoints of Kes and Lon Suder, both long gone from Voyager, but nonetheless counsel Neelix through the chaotic few hours.

Next episode “Delirium Tremens” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delirium_tremens)

 

[at Quark's]

Delirium Tremens

Having been cut off of Federation supplies for years, the crew had to find its own (sometimes substandard) substitutes to keep critical components running, such as the bioneural circuitry. Turns out this circuitry is more true to its name than the designers thought it would be - it has developed an addiction to one of those substitutes, a substance that has run out. The ship's computer starts hallucinating. All kind of dangerous situations develop (false tactical alerts, the ship suddenly exposing decks to vacuum because the computer thinks it has detected a biohazard, etc.)

Since they cannot get more of the substitute anyway, the crew has no choice to ride it out. Fortunately, the worst seems to be over after 72 hours, but some effects, such as a cranky attitude of the computer could linger far longer ...

In a final spasm, the ship belches out Neelix, Chakotay and Kim.

Next episode: Im Westen Nichts Neues
(the 1928 Remarque novel about WW1, the English translation of which is usually known as All quiet on the Western Front, though the most literal translation would be 'In the West, nothing new').

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

"Im Westen Nichts Neues" - The crew of Voyager listen to reports from the Dominion War long-distance, as broadcast by a subspace correspondent they've come to trust and admire, Cyrilla Dare. When she is captured in the middle of recording a live report, they worry over her fate. Interspersed with "A Briefing With Neelix" reports as Neelix and the crew try to figure out where she is, long distance (with help from Barclay transmitting some info)

Next episode: "Solid Rock"

 

[FederationHistorian]

"Solid Rock" - The Doctor is activated by pirates and finds the entire crew turned to stone. When he learns the pirates found the crew this way, the Doctor works to find a solution to reverse it. Upon realizing that the solution is found in engineering and in the transporter, the Doctor uses the engineering database to construct an unprecedented transporter method. But he is stopped by the pirates, who are fearful of transporter technology, as the oppressive leader they managed to escape used the transporter to beam the convicted into rockfaces to kill them, as well as a method of torture. Can the Doctor find a work around the pirates’ entrenched transporter fears so that he may save his crew?

Next episode – “Exploitative Maneuverings”

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

“Exploitative Maneuverings” - An alien political candidate exaggerates his good relationship with the Federation after having a chance meeting with the crew of Voyager six months ago, making promises on their behalf that they couldn't possibly guarantee. Janeway finds out when the ship is contacted by another species hoping to make a similar deal and has to deal with the fallout. Meanwhile, Seven is befriended by a crew member whose motives are academic rather than kindness (they want to write a paper about her)

Next episode: "Major League"

 

[FederationHistorian]

"Major League" - Tom introduces Neelix, Tuvok, B’Elanna and Seven to major league sports of the 20th and 21st centuries. They each take an interest in at least one sport: Neelix takes interest in golf, Tuvok in baseball, B’Elanna in football, and Seven takes interest in basketball. Seven and B’Elanna even bond while playing a game of hockey. It leads to various sports clubs forming on Voyager, and eventually a major distraction for the entire crew, as no one is attentive that they have entered the Underspace and are on a collision course with a Vaadwaur fleet.

Next episode – “Chivalric Codes” (https://www.medieval-life-and-times.info/medieval-knights/code-of-chivalry.htm)

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

“Chivalric Codes” - When Tom inadvertently insults the honor of an alien woman, he is challenged to defend his statement by her husband. Unable to take the comment back (because society makes it impossible), he must battle the man, something which B'Elanna and Chakotay train him to do. Meanwhile, Neelix plans a princess themed birthday party for Lt. Sharpe 's daughter, in absentia (Sharpe is a security officer whose daughter would be having her fifth birthday back home and she misses her), with help from Naomi.

Next episode: "When Life Gives You Lemons"

 

[FederationHistorian]

"When Life Gives You Lemons" - Voyager and its crew are down on their luck. Tom was critically injured while repairing the Delta Flyer, taking him away from his duties. Chakotay was accidentally knocked out by Seven while teaching her how to box, leaving him concussed. B’Elanna is spending time in the brig for assaulting Vorik, despite having just cause to do so. Tuvok contracts an actual bout of Tarkealans flu, both Janeway’s holoprograms and her preferred coffee from the replicators are not working, and Neelix walks off the job in the messhall. Overly annoyed by the series of unfortunate events, Janeway leaves Harry in command of Voyager, who uses the opportunity to justify a promotion in rank when he deals with a meteor on a collision course with a major trade hub in the sector that is powerless to stop it. Meanwhile, Janeway - in the middle of attempting to get some R&R - shows Naomi and the children an old Earth tradition of running a lemonade stand, with unintentionally hilarious results.

Next episode – “Hullabaloo”

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

“Hullabaloo” - Voyager enters an area of space that is filled with cacophony. While working on a computer program to tune out the background noise, B'Elanna becomes obsessed with the idea that she can hear a cry for help in the pandemonium that no one else perceives, to the point of mental instability. With help from Tuvok, she tries to calm her mind and finds she can make it out even better. The cry is a signal broadcast by a ship that is being pulled into a black hole, barely able to stay out. Meanwhile, Harry practices a difficult piece for a ship's band concert.

Next episode: "Filibuster"

 

[FederationHistorian]

"Filibuster" - When Naomi, Icheb and the other children are on the verge of being sentenced to death by an alien society’s legal system, after they play a game on the planet that resembles a ritual made illegal centuries ago, the entire crew of Voyager engages in a filibuster over the course of several days to delay their likely verdict of guilty as long as possible. And even hope to force the legal system to throw the case out altogether, as the legal system seems determined to convict them no matter what. Meanwhile, Tuvok engages in a quiet investigation to clear the names of the children, and find that they have been unfairly profiled, but were charged nonetheless due to a combination of lazy policing, a need to meet quotas, and that they resemble a minority group on the planet that the majority still hold racist views towards.

Next episode – “Nothing But Demon Planets”

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

“Nothing But Demon Planets” - After long-range readings determined several livable planets along their travel route, Voyager nears them only to find that they've turned into inhospitable demon planets instead.
