Tom tries out Voyager's new diagnostic device (which allows doctors to experience patients' sensory input) with B'Elanna. Everything seems normal until Tom sees a new color visible only to Klingons. Soon, the whole crew is begging B’Elanna to let them see the "Klingon Color."
Torres resists on the grounds that she's "just not comfortable letting everyone on the ship feel her senses" but eventually relents and lets Harry try it.
She’s a science nerd. She’s a mom to most of her crew. She has endless sexual tension with just about everyone. She’s a deadbeat parent to her lizard children. She’s one bad day away from a severe depressive episode. She’s unable to resist adopting most pathetic lifeforms that cross her path. She’s godmother to an all powerful space being. She’s addicted to coffee. She’s Starfleet Temporal Investigations enemy #1. She looks good in a suit. She went full Ellen Ripley once. She’s an actual war criminal. She likes dogs. She violates the Prime Directive. She’s got self-sacrificial tendencies. Her fiancé Dear Jane lettered her. She keeps falling in love with holograms. Her Vulcan bestie struggles daily to keep her alive.
Digging into the archives is always great in a fandom as seasoned as Voyager, but new stuff is fun too - if you’d be interested in this, please let me know!
Fanworks could be anything - from fics to art to gifs to playlists to vids… if you come up with it, it’s fanwork!
Please share this little poll around/reblog if you vote so I can gauge the interest, tyvm!

Obsessed with how the reason they’re all losing it (and Roxann is doubled over) is because Bob Picardo said something hilarious (and potentially dirty?) right before they took the picture. He looks so pleased with himself. It’s so funny.
One of my favorite things about Star Trek in general is that they have a universal translator until it’s funny. Like. Klingon insults in a bar? Not translated because it’s funny! Random bajoran swear words? Not translated because it’s funny! Top tier world building. I love it.
Tom replicates a pair of heelies, but Janeway and the Doctor agree that they're a uniform violation and a safety hazard. As a joke, B'Elanna asks to add heelies to her own uniform. To her surprise, the request is approved! Soon, almost everyone but Tom has permission for heelies.
B'Elanna's request is predicated on the idea that she'll use the heelies to get from one engineering emergency to another more quickly in a tactical situation, but mostly she wears her standard-issue shoes and uses the heelies to make fun of Tom.
Harry and Seven are the only ones who actually use their heelies to be more productive. Seven pretends not to understand the situation surrounding Tom and his lack of heelies, but taunts him by saying that he couldn't handle "the immense responsibility of wheeled work-shoes."
