Game VOY Episode Pitch Game

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

"Refraction" - Voyager receives a subspace communication from an individual who claims to be the last person alive on his ship. The only problems? The ship is Voyager, and the individual is not among the current crew. While trying to locate this alternate Voyager, there is speculation - are they from an alternate reality? Are they from the future? Are they lying? Meanwhile, The Doctor becomes self-conscious about his appearance after seeing an unflattering drawing of himself done by one of the children.

Next episode: "Fork and Spoon"

 

[Oddish]

The Doctor becomes self-conscious about his appearance after seeing an unflattering drawing of himself done by one of the children.

Maybe that was the origin of Dr. Van Gogh's full head of hair in "Before and After".

Fork and Spoon: Tom, Harry, and Neelix have to beam off a shuttle that's about to explode, and wind up in a world with a tech level similar to the 1950's. With tricorder and commbadge function blocked by an energy field, they must stay alive the only way they can: by taking jobs at a diner while waiting for Voyager to pick them up. Comical mayhem ensues.

NEXT: Mortification

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

"Mortification" - A member of an ambassadorial party whose first contact with the crew of Voyager goes awry is sentenced to the purging, a self-punishment practice, but is unable to carry it out. If he is unable to do so, the wronged one is offered the chance to do so. The diplomat asks Tuvok to perform the act, which he refuses. However, if nobody does it, he will be put to death. Meanwhile, Neelix embarrasses B'Elanna by sharing something she told him in confidence.

Next episode: "Abandonment"

 

[Warp 10 (Pepperoni)]

"Abandonment" When Ensign Wildman is given the opportunity to go on an away mission, Naomi encourages her mother to go and asks to stay with Seven while she's away. When the away team return without Ensign Wildman, and inform Janeway that she refused to return, the Voyager crew set out to find her. Seven struggles with her parental duties and finds support in Tuvok.

Next episode: "Don't Speak"

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

"Don't Speak" - A strange anomaly puts all the crew members on the same mental wavelength as each other, which imperils them when they're trying to evade attack by a territorial species that is highly sensitive to brain waves. The crew must learn to work together without verbalizing their intentions. Meanwhile, the Doctor is the only one who can act as a go-between, having no thought waves the way organics do.

Next episode: "Christening"

 

[Finn]

"Christening"

It is late in the 25th Century. A 130 year old Admiral Janeway is on hand for the launch of the Voyager-B. She rattles off on the young green Captain about an adventure they had on Voyager (no bloody A or B), with flashbacks that looks like parodies of what we've seen on the show, when the Voyager B is asked to help with a rescue mission near an anomaly.

Next Episode- "A Bucketful of Fish"

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

"A Bucketful of Fish" - Tom, Harry, and Neelix use their shore leave to go fishing on a seemingly uninhabited M-class planet, only to get in trouble when the fish they're catching are endangered and they're captured by the intelligent pre-warp aquatic life that dwells underwater. They must undergo trial by ordeal, an endurance swim that will push them to the limit. Meanwhile, B'Elanna and the Doctor work together to surreptitiously aid their crewmembers.

Next episode: "Dystopia"

 

[Warp 10 (Pepperoni)]

Seven faces scrutiny from the survivors.

Next episode: "There and Back Again"

 

[IMC Headquarters]

"There and Back Again"- An away team investigating a dead moon for a source of dilithium discovers an ancient artefact of Vulcan origin. After bringing it back to the ship for analysis, Tuvok begins to have visions of Vulcan's destruction by a spatial anomaly. As they intensify over a matter of days, he eventually finds himself transported to Vulcan of the distant past and finds shelter in the home of an ancient Romulan separatist. Meanwhile, Tom has a recurring dream of his mother authoring a book.

Next episode: "Last Duty"

 

[at Quark's]

Last Duty

2415. Voyager has been traveling in the direction of the Alpha Quadrant for over 45 years. The EMH tells an aging Janeway she's got a degenerative disease and he can delay her deterioration for only a few weeks at best. In her private log, Janeway frets about the things she might've done differently and the regrets she has she won't live long enough to personally fulfil her promise of bringing Voyager home again, and wonders whether she might yet still.

Then, Voyager comes across a Starfleet shuttle. After bringing it aboard, they find it carries Kes. In a private conversation with the Captain, Kes tells the captain that Voyager was never supposed to be traveling towards home this long. She's about to be 'promoted' to an even higher realm, but that means she won't be allowed to interfere with this reality directly anymore. She considers correcting the timeline her final service to the material plane in general and Voyager in particular. It will, however, require the destruction of this voyager, bringing old Janeway into a difficult position. Is she allowed to 'kill off' her current crew for a hopefully better timeline? Janeway calls a plenary meeting to decide their fate.

In the B-story, Miral Paris gives her (nearly) adult son, ready to move out to his own quarters, a few final pointers of life advice.

EDIT: This episode -of course- negates what happened in Fury.

Next episode: Transcendence.

 

[Finn]

Transcendence

Voyager passes through a region marred by terrorist attacks, fought by extremists who want to stop the rise of AI in their region. A terror cell learns of the Doc and tries to attack Voyager, when there's a malfunction. The EMH starts to evolve beyond his programming, and starts to fell and see everything that's going on Voyager, with the ability to do all operations even turning on tand off the lights.... He drives the crew nuts, as B'Elanna tries to find a way to return him to normal while Janeway tries to convince the terrorists to leave them alone.

Next Episode: Fanatic

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

Fanatic - Tom Paris experiments with an alien holonovel that's said to be filled with intrigue and drama, but finds himself being dragged into dangerous fanaticism for the cause being promoted in the novel. The program is not harmless entertainment, but a sophisticated psychological brainwashing tool used by an extremist group to recruit and train operatives. The line blurs between fantasy and reality, and Paris begins to see crewmembers as threats. The Doctor and B'Elanna must stop him from becoming fully radicalized and destroying them - him through medicine, her through love. Meanwhile, Neelix becomes obsessed with the recipes of a celebrity chef.

Next episode: "Press Gang" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impressment)

 

[Oddish]

Funny, I was talking about the Royal Navy with my bus passengers just this morning... though we didn't get to how they got their recruits.

PRESS GANG: Neelix, Tom, Harry, and B'Elanna are in a dubious spaceport in the middle of a war zone when an interstellar press gang swarms through the place, grabbing every experienced spacefarer they can find. Neelix is whisked away to be a cook, B'Elanna is taken to another ship, and the Tomandharry Combo goes to a third. After a few days of her, B'Elanna's captors are eager to part with her when Voyager chases them down. Neelix gives his crew nasty food poisoning and escapes as well. However, the third ship is out further, and as added complication, Harry does so well in his new post (sizable promotion included), he's starting to think he'd like to stay. Can Tom persuade him that the degradation of being a forever ensign isn't so bad?

Next: Just Another Boring Afternoon

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

"Just Another Boring Afternoon" - An engineering programming error fries power and magnifies transporters when Voyager is about to send an away team to explore underground caverns, causing the entire ship to be beamed underground, with no immediate way to use phasers to cut themselves out. B'Elanna and Harry work on trying to re-create the transporter effect that put them there, to no avail, and decides to restore the weapons instead to bore their way out, an effort which is painstaking. Meanwhile, The Doctor experiments with the concept of boredom, by disabling his off switch and deactivating his access to work related files.

Next episode: "Reveille"

 

[Finn]

"Reveille"

As Voyager preps for a delegate visit, while B'Elanna and Seven finish a new science project, we see the perspective of the first couple hours of the day for each of the main character and several of the supporting characters.

Next episode- "Neelok"

 

[Nerys Myk]

"Neelox"- Both Neelix and Tuvok begin acting strangely. Forgetting things and feeling weak, Upon examination the EMH find strange anomalies in the brains and bodies. Both are losing mass.
In Engineering Torres has been conducting a replicator audit and discover a discrepancy. Someone has been using the replicators without authorization. With Tuvok in Sick Bay, Torres goes to Chakotay with the information. They pinpoint when the replicator activity is happening and lie in wait.
The perpetrator arrives and enters a code. It grabs the food as it appears and prepares to run off. Chakotay shouts for them to stop. As they turns and faces the duo, we see it's a distorted combination of Neelix and Tuvok. It crouches in a defensive position, snarling and then explodes into action, knocking aside Chakotay. Torres tries to grab it but even her half-Klingon strength is no match for "Neelok".
Now the race is on to find "Neelok" before Tuvok and Neelix perish. But the creature has Tuvok's knowledge of the ship's security codes and considerable guile.
Next Episode -"Vulcan Liar"

 

[at Quark's]

Neelok

A freak accident involving using a transporter in the neighborhood of a black hole results in a character that combines the worst of Tuvok and Neelix. A character that keeps mentioning logic when the situation doesn't call for it, and then still applies it in the wrong way, a worthless cook, jealous, and it turns out he cannot be trusted with secret information he knows as Head of Security either, a blabbermouth. He also sells Starfleet technology to aliens whenever he thinks he can make a profit. The entire crew begs Janeway to get Tuvok and Neelix back -a perfectly standard transporter procedure-, but Janeway refuses; she believes this is contrary to Starfleet ideals; every character is redeemable. So the crew takes action behind Janeway's back and brings back Neelix and Tuvok. The B-story is about Naomi Wildman trying to avoid Neelok.

Next episode: Fear and Trembling
(A book by Danish philosopher Kierkegaard)

EDIT: I see I got beaten to it by a minute or so. If so desired, I'll delete this post.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

No, it's okay. Next person does both new episodes, or combines elements of both into their episode.

 

[Warp 10 (Pepperoni)]

I'll combine the two, will keep one title but work in the Vulcan liar theme...

"Fear and Trembling": Tuvok is captured by a technologically advanced but somewhat paradoxically devoutly religious group of alien extremists. When he is able to resist their brainwashing techniques, Tuvok must play along that he has become part of the group and await Voyager's rescue. Meanwhile, Vorick offends B'Elanna and learns the hard way that it's sometimes better to tell a white lie.

Next episode: Midas Touch

 

[Finn]

Midas Touch

Voyager is asked to help with an alien colony being threatened by an strange ion storm that has been irradiating atmospheres with particulates, that seem to be exposing valuable metals on the surface of the affected planets, in the sector. Things turn dark when Tuvok discovers that the ion storm seems to be controlled....

Next episode- "Then there were two..."
