#i really would have loved to see some impacts of the dw on voyager's crew

[lykegenia]

I've said this already in the tags on a different post but I can't stop thinking about Janeway after the Pathfinder project is successful and she starts getting reports from Starfleet HQ about the Dominion War. How inexorable a force the Jem'Hadar seem. How world after world is falling. How the casualties mount. The Maquis have already been destroyed and she can feel the grief from those of her officers who lost friends, but beyond that there's the knowledge that the destruction didn't end with a few rebels on the edge of Federation space. The entire Alpha Quadrant is tearing itself apart, and it's all so far away. Yes, her little ship has face Borg and alien power struggles and a Void without stars - they've lost friends too - but as the numbers keep coming in, day after day, impossibly high, what goes through her mind? Does she wish harder that she hadn't destroyed the array, so that she could have stayed to fight and do her part to save the home she so desperate to get back to? Or is some part of her soothed about her decision, knowing that by putting the needs of the Ocampa before her own, she likely saved the lives of many of the people now under her command? How do you deal with loss on such an abstract yet personal scale, and how do you sit and read the reports of lost battle after lost battle, knowing that it might mean the home you were so desperate for might no longer exist by the time you get there?

What if Voyager ends up being all that's left?

#star trek #star trek voyager #janeway #kathryn janeway #captain janeway #dominion war #i really would have loved to see some impacts of the dw on voyager's crew #not just one episode of b'elanna having depression before it goes away again #because how many of the crew are losing friends in the war? #does it bring the starfleet and the maquis crews closer in shared grief? #anyway this is a fancy way of saying voyager really should have invested in a counsellor program for the holodeck #my dudes you don't need irish stereotype village you need a psychologist
