"Star Trek: Voyager" - "The Cloud" Quiz

Answer: omicron particles

If Voyager could capture some of the omicron particles in the nebula they could replenish their antimatter reserves which would, among other things, let them use the replicators more frequently. As Janeway said: "There's coffee in that nebula!"

Answer: Carl Jung

In telling Janeway how Native Americans use animals as spirit guides, Chakotay mentioned that 20th century psychologist Carl Jung developed techniques which were similar to those Chakotay's people had been using for centuries. Their belief was that certain representations of animals would guide them through life. This was done through a vision quest, a ritual used to achieve guidance from a spirit.

Answer: Marseille, France

Sandrines's was a bistro where Paris spent much of his time while stationed in Marseille, France for physical training during his second semester. A pool table was the central attraction and the place was peopled by quite a cast of characters. Sandrine's was visited several times by the crew during the first three seasons.

Answer: turned off his audio

While speaking from Sickbay the Doctor sardonically ticked off the mistakes the crew made when trying to get inside the nebula so Janeway, tired of his constant pedantic lectures, cut off his audio channel. After finally turning it back on they found the Doctor did have an idea of how to help the nebula.

Answer: 38

As Janeway looked for ways to get in and out of the nebula, Chakotay mentioned that they had 38 photon torpedoes at their disposal, to which Janeway said that they had no way to replace them after they were gone. We don't know what the normal complement of photon torpedoes was for an Intrepid-class ship but we got the impression that 38 was less than normal. And apparently they were not something that could be replicated.

This became a big deal as the series went on because as the torpedoes were used against enemies, obsessive fans (and let's be honest: if we're Trekkers we have to obsess) knew exactly how many were left and spread it over the internet, creating some problems for the script writers.

Answer: Gaunt Gary

Paris wanted the simulation to be authentic so he fashioned one of the pool players as Gaunt Gary, who Paris said was a pool hustler from the Ames Pool Hall in New York City in 1953.

Answer: Zimmerman

When Torres asked the Doctor why he always said the same thing ("Please state the nature of the medical emergency!") whenever he was activated, the Doctor responded that that was the way he was programmed. He mentioned that his programmer was Dr. Lewis Zimmerman of the Jupiter Station Holoprogramming Center.

Answer: suture

The Doctor suggested using the ship as a suture to help close the gap of the nebula's wound. By positioning the ship crosswise in the wound and emitting nucleogenic beams fore and aft it was successful. Janeway was unfamiliar with the word suture. It must have been something from the "Dark Ages" of medicine as Dr. Leonard McCoy called it a century earlier.

Answer: Morale Officer

During a tense moment as the crew dealt with trying to leave the nebula, Neelix and Kes entered the Bridge offering snacks to the crew. Neelix announced that he had named himself Morale Officer because the crew needed a break now and then. As the series went on, Neelix oversaw various parties for crew members, the development of a beach resort holoprogram and a morning talk show.

Answer: Torres

It was said by B'Ellana Torres after the holographic pool hustler, Gaunt Gary, told her how he had a special way of treating women. Torres asked Paris if he had programmed the hustler; upon confirmation she gave Paris her opinion of both of them.
