Question by Daddy19

Answer: a holographic body

("VOY": "Lifesigns") Denara Pel was a Vidiian hematologist rescued by Voyager after they detected her distress signal. The Doctor, when examining her, found she had a neural cortical stimulator embedded on the side of her head which helped to keep her brain functions working. But too much of her brain cells had already died for it to work properly and she was near brain death so he quickly transferred her synaptic brain patterns to the holobuffers and then used her DNA to construct an unblemished holobody for her.

The Doctor and Denara only had a few days to find a way to repair her neural tissue or her synaptic patterns in the pattern buffers would degrade too much. Her real body was put into status. There was a twist to this episode when it was discovered that somebody had tried to sabotage their efforts.

A touching scene was when Denara saw her unmarred holographic face for the first time in a mirror. She was moved to tears because she had lived so long with a disfigured body due to contracting the Phage at age seven.

Answer: They steal the organs of healthy individuals for themselves.

The Vidiians developed a type of transporter technology which removed organs from living beings. Neelix had his lungs taken and he only survived first by The Doctor creating holographic lungs for him and then getting a lung transplant when Kes insisted on donating one of her lungs when it was found out the Vidiians had that medical knowledge ("VOY": "Phage"). Due to the extensive use of tissue and organ transplants the Viddians who suffered from the phage had a horrifically altered appearance.

Question by reedy

Answer: Valedictorian

The two officers were very close at medical school. Doctor Bashir often commented that he made a mistake in his oral exam and would have been Valedictorian if he had not done so. He confused a preganglionic fiber and a postganglionic nerve (as you do!)

Question by Daddy19

Answer: B'Elanna Torres

Torres rejected him but he grabbed her briefly touching the sides of her head trying to force a bond before she got away. Though she had gotten away from him, that brief contact was enough to start a telepathic mating bond which caused Torres to go through pon farr herself making her temper to be even more volatile. If the pon farr was not resolved it would mean death to both of them.

Many exciting and dramatic events occurred in this episode. Some noteworthy events were: B'Elanna emotionally and physically out of control; strong development in the relationship between B'Elanna and Tom Paris; Vorik challenging Tom Paris to a Vulcan traditional fight to the death over B'Elanna; and a Klingon vs. Vulcan fight. If you don't remember these events I strongly encourage you to rewatch this episode, especially if you are a fan of the Tom and B'Elanna match.

Historically, the Vaadwaur were an aggressive race that conquered other worlds by using a network of passages known as 'the underspace'. In the old Talaxian language, Vaadwaur meant foolish as the race were known to be untrustworthy. Would Captain Janeway be able to leave the planet with their Vaadwaur as their allies or would their new friends turn on Voyager?
