WHY CAN I NOT SEE MY WIFE TODAY!!!!

This always reminds me of something I said to Thedia in 2001. I showed her my Microsoft security badge and I told her I had been happy that day. She responded with "that day" which made me think of how that had been the only day I could remember feeling happy in the years after that. I would note a year or two later that Microsoft re-issued my security badge and there was a red smudge on my head.

"Workforce, Part I"

The Voyager crew are brainwashed into starting new jobs on an industrialized planet, leaving only Chakotay, Kim and Neelix (who were on an away mission at the time) and the Doctor (who was deactivated) to save them.

Robert Duncan McNeill (born November 9, 1964 in Raleigh, North Carolina) is an American actor, producer, movie director, and television director who is best known for his role as Lieutenant Tom Paris on the television show Star Trek: Voyager.


I recognize the date 6/7/1976 as when I landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe. I recognize the date 11/27/1976 as my second day on the Jupiter moon Callisto. I probably couldn't find an actress to match up with the date 11/26/1976. Perhaps it was on that second day I realized I could make oxygen from the water ice I discovered, which assured my survival and return to Earth on 4/14/1977.

From 9/11/1958 to 6/7/1976 is: 6479 days
From 3/3/1959 to 11/27/1976 is: 6479 days

Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres, played by Roxann Dawson, is a character in Star Trek: Voyager. She is the Chief Engineer of the USS Voyager.

Torres later begins a relationship with Paris after a complicated and stormy courtship. During an incident in 2374, Torres confesses her love for Tom Paris to him, when they are left floating in space in environmental suits, with almost no hope of rescue ("Day of Honor"). Although Voyager is soon able to rescue them, Torres realizes that her courage in admitting her love has brought her one step closer to discovering what she considers true honor. Their relationship first flourishes on-screen during "Scientific Method". They marry in 2377, and have their honeymoon aboard the Delta Flyer.


Due to day-of-week scheduling, this episode would have been the closest possible to the day Phoebe was 34 years, 59 days, old, which was 4 days earlier.

Airdate September 17, 1997

Day of Honor is an episode of Star Trek: Voyager, the third episode of the fourth season. The episode was well received by fans, and has an average rating of 4.4/5 on the official Star Trek website (as of April 27th, 2007).[1]

It's the "Day of Honor", a time each year when a Klingon is supposed to reflect on herself and her actions. B'Elanna is not in the mood to deal with it. She's been having a bad day. She has to work with Seven of Nine, the Borg drone who's recently come on board, and she can't stand her. She has been hostile toward her friend Tom Paris lately, because even though she likes him and wants to be closer to him, she is uncomfortable accepting gestures of friendship. To top it all off, something goes wrong in Engineering and she must eject the warp core to save the ship.

B'Elanna and Tom take a shuttle out to recover the core. A Caatati ship reaches it first, though. The aliens put a tractor beam on it and prepare to tow it away. B'Elanna warns them not to tractor the core, since doing so is dangerous and could blow them up. The Caatati try to chase them off, firing at their shuttle and causing a warp core overload. B'Elanna and Tom have barely enough time to jump into spacesuits and beam themselves off the shuttle before it explodes. They float alone together in space and watch as the aliens take off with Voyager's warp core.

Voyager receives a distress call from the two lost crewmembers, who have a limited amount of oxygen in their spacesuits and need to be rescued. The ship is held up by the Caatati, who demand supplies in exchange for the warp core. The Borg-hating aliens also demand Seven of Nine.

As B'Elanna and Tom float in the vacuum of space they begin to feel woozy as their oxygen runs out. As they start to fall asleep they say goodbye to each other. B'Elanna insists she can't die without telling Tom the truth. It takes some effort to admit it. "I love you," she says.

Back on Voyager, Seven of Nine has managed to satisfy the Caatati. She builds them a Thorium generator, which will give them all the energy they need to power their ship's systems; and they are so pleased with it they give back Voyager's warp core and agree to let them keep Seven. With its propulsion back in place, the ship rushes off to rescue Tom and B'Elanna, who have fallen asleep in each other's arms.
