Would you be Starfleet or Maquis on Janeway's Journey?

Peyote makes you dream while you're awake about colourful weird shit.

It's all random.

Chakotay's machine probably actually uses a randomizer no different from a Poker program shuffling cards between hands. The program probably has a list of 200 animals and then randomly (like a ticking roulette wheel) picks an Animal Guide for the new player without a lot of respect towards their personality.

B'Elanna Torress will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered.

hehehe. probable.


I say it's a mirror. Belanna dislikes herself and Janeway saw her future self: a reptile. :-)
 
What I find unusual is that no one on the crew who was originally Starfleet became Maquis.

Even if by marriage?

And what about the babies?

Was Miral going to identify as Maquis or Starfleet?
 
Miral was going to identify as being the Klingon messiah.

The return of Kahless? Mere bafflegab when compared to The Spawn Of B'Elanna.
 
In the new timeline sure, but Miral was 14 in the Admiral Janeway Timeline before she got to the AQ... Unless as my hypothesis suggests that yes she would have spent an unknown number of "years" trekking through the Empire.
 
If I am not mistaken in a season 7 ep she (belanna) talks matter a fact that the Maquis are no more. I assume Miral Will identify Klingon. Especially if Endgame is any indication... yeah, yeah, I know the timeline changed but she seemed liked she dealt with her share of Klingons with her wanting to help and her catty reaction to another Klingon. I think Belanna's recent experience confronting her inner demons and Klingon have finally made way to embracing her heritage this miral will be influenced.
 
If she identified Klingon, why did Miral join Starfleet in the Admiral Janeway Time-line?

The Maquis, numbering in the 10's of thousands (??) living on dozens on planets were exterminated by the Dominion, who did not acknowledge the legal restraints of the demilitarized zone.

Sure Eddington rescued a couple dozen after the decimation, and on Voyager there were at most 2 dozen more.

It's worse than what happened to he Vulcans after nero destroyed Vulcan. 10,000 left over compared to the billions that used to live on Vulcan, but it amounts to he same thing: Ideology vs. Numbers.
 
I was accounting for the possibility the timeline changed by result of getting home quicker and who she might encounter. If tossing between SF vs Maquis it would probably be Star fleet.

Giving it some thought since I first posted I misused 'identify'. I don't think she'll wish to be in a House. She has her Voyager family and a SF admiral grand father. This in mind, she may be drawn to SF but given how children of mixed heritages tend to be curious she'll explore her Klingon heritage which undoubtedly will be valuable to Star Fleet should she choose it in this timeline. (I don't read the books)

Again, I was weighing her esteem assuming she'd embrace her personality and traits more and bridge them with her humanity as oppose to taking off for Klingon home world.

You saw her act human with Janeway and Klingon in the cave in Endgame so it's also a wonder if she uses her mixed heritage to simply get results but she wasn't let in on the plan so I couldn't tell for sure if she just saw herself as a I was accounting for the possibility the timely new changed by result of getting home quicker and who she might encounter. If tossing between SF vs Maquis, It would probably be Star fleet. I do believe my original thought was intended to point out she's more inclined to embrace she's part Klingon and bridge it with her humanity more than mom who had low self esteem and longs to be human.

Since my mobile browser hates this forum (I should have used another) and it deleted a chunk of my wording (as if it wasn't lengthy enough) I wanted to add if it's not about bridging the two heritages it's her way to get results in SF and she truly identifies human but with a cool forehead. If I am making sense. I'm so tired today.
 
Does Starfleet have physical fitness requirements? That would probably decide for me!

If I'm feeling ranty but am too lazy to go to a PC, I write it out in Notepad or a similar app, then copy+paste it here.
 
Of course they have physical fitness requirements.

Don't look at TMP, that was some widescreen experiment.

ANYWAY this is no problem since your muscles and fitness and health are all supersized and superfixed by future medicine. You hardly have to do anything. You just submit to varying machines and BOOM your default health and fitness level is about 1985 Olympic Gold medal.
 
Did they? Scotty, Kirk, and Chakotay, and our beloved helm boy Paris were getting husky in the end. They'd probably have to but they sure pushed it sometimes. I wish they'd invite me to their BBQ's. :-) mmm food from wealthy people. *chucks frozen pizza*

Oh, of course! I had been told that awhile back. (adjusting to being a full time tablet user) Thanks :-)

If Tasha Yar invites you to a BBQ, don't fall for it.

She eats people.
 
Do you mean that she should dual identify as both, or that she should side with all the halflings? Of course there Klingons and Humans that mate wit so many more races than just Klingons and Humans, that it is conceivable that B'Elanna could identify kinship with Naomi becuase she is half human more than anyone else on he crew who is full human.
 
Meanwhile the Maquis disenfranchised themselves, and the Federation said "Go #### yourself" you are too still Federation Citizens who have earnt yourselves a billet in a Federation pokey.

No, it wasn't that simple.

At that point in time, Klingon/Federation relations were strained to say the least. The Klingons were getting VERY chippy at that point. Worf and Picard got pretty deep into the Klingon politics, which made the Klingons even less happy with the Federation, as many of the Klingon High Council were holding very personal grudges. War with the Klingons was a distinct possibility.

The Romulans were being very Romulan, with the Tal'Shiar taking more and more direct control of government operations. Not to mention Empress Sela with a very personal grudge against the Federation.

The Borg had strolled in, not too long before, and cut a huge swath through the Federation fleet, and no one knew when they would return.

So the Federation is on the verge of outright war with the Klingons and the Romulans, while at the same time being in a much weaker military position due to the losses to the Borg. The ships lost were a big hit, but the tens of thousands of trained, dedicated officers lost was an even bigger hit. Ships are much easier to replace.

While ALL of this is going on, the Cardassians start getting more aggressive, and made it clear that they considered the colonists and the Maquis as Federation members, and that if the Federation didn't actively do something about the Maquis they would hold the Federation responsible for the Maquis' actions.

The Federation was backed against a wall. Failing to act against the Maquis would have resulted in a war with the Cardassian Union. A war with the Cardassian Union would have resulted in the Klingons AND the Romulans using that as an opportunity to apply even more pressure to the Federation. Klingons attacking directly and Romulans... being Romulans.

Weakened and battered, a war with just one of those groups may not have been winnable, and there was no chance it would have stayed a war with just one of them. The entire Federation would have fallen, with the burning remnants divided between the Klinks, Rommies, and Spoon Heads.

The needs of the many outweighed the needs of the few.
 
Rubbery spines?

No.

Despite Cardassian pressure to reign in the Maquis, the Maquis attacked Federation Ships when Federation ships got in their way.

That's what made the entire political movement fair game in the eyes of Starfleet and allowed them to surreptitiously respond to Cardassian requests to hop to it.
 
She could identify with whomever she wants. I was drawing my own conclusions based of what little we got to observe.
 
Also, it would be partly determined by which one of her parents are more dominant and impressive.

The tubby balding human or the frothing at the mouth Klingon sanding on his throat?
