||
| − | When Tuvok begins to suffer from a mental breakdown, triggered by a suppressed memory, a mind-meld with Janeway takes him back to his tour of duty with Captain Sulu aboard the USS ''Excelsior''. |
||
| + | Flashbacks were used in several episodes of ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]''. |
||
| − | ==Summary== |
||
| − | As the [[USS Voyager]] approaches a [[nebula]] rich in [[sirillium]], [[Tuvok]] is plagued by flashbacks of himself as a boy, trying to rescue a girl who's falling from a cliff. The [[Doctor]] suspects Tuvok is experiencing a repressed memory, which can cause permanent brain damage in a [[Vulcan]]. Vulcan healing techniques call for the patient to mind-meld with someone he trusts, so that together, the two can bring the memory into the Vulcan's conscious mind. Because of their long-standing friendship, [[Janeway]] agrees to meld with Tuvok. |
||
| + | [[Orb experience]]s could also be described as a form of a flashback, such as in {{DS9|The Collaborator}}. |
||
| − | The meld takes Tuvok and Janeway back 80 years to the Vulcan's first assignment on the starship [[USS Excelsior]], commanded by [[Hikaru Sulu]]. Sulu served under the legendary [[Captain]] [[James T. Kirk]] for many years, so his crew isn't surprised when he disobeys Starfleet orders to try and help Kirk and another old shipmate, [[Dr. McCoy]], who are being held for the murder of the [[Klingon]] [[Chancellor]]. On the way, the Excelsior passes through a nebula that is similar to the one Voyager spotted prior to Tuvok's first flashback. Once again, Tuvok experiences the memory of the little girl falling, but this time he goes into convulsions. |
||
| + | == Notable flashbacks == |
||
| − | On Voyager, the Doctor revives Tuvok, and Janeway wonders what the little girl had to do with this period on the Excelsior. All Tuvok can recall is that the Klingons ambushed the starship in the nebula, forcing Sulu to abort the rescue mission. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| + | [[Data]] recounts the events in which the crew was incapacitated. ({{TNG|Clues}}) |
||
| + | === Suspicions === |
||
| − | Reforming the mind-meld, Tuvok relives the Klingon attack. He recalls that during the battle, he aided an injured crewman named [[Valtane]], who died in Tuvok's arms. As he goes through this again, the Doctor notices that the Vulcan is again experiencing erratic brain patterns. Unable to break the mind-meld between Tuvok and Janeway, the Doctor exposes Tuvok's brain to bursts of thoron radiation and in doing so, inadvertently discovers the truth. When Valtane died, a strange alien virus that he'd been carrying in his brain migrated to Tuvok's brain, camouflaging itself as a repressed memory. The Doctor increases the intensity of the radiation and is at last able to destroy the peculiar virus, leaving the mind of Tuvok healthy and Janeway nostalgic for the "old days" when space was still a wild frontier. |

However, if you watch closely at the end of ''[[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country]]'', when all the ''Excelsior'' crew are on the [[viewscreen]] of the [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A)|''Enterprise''-A]], Valtane appears to be alive and well! |

This was probably done to emphasize the episode's tribute to the original series but it makes it appear that Janeway didn't pay much attention during her history classes. Since the actions of the ''Excelsior'' took place shortly before the [[Khitomer Conference]], which marked the beginnings of the peace process between the [[Federation]] and the [[Klingon Empire]], they would undoubtably be required learning for all Federation children in school. |
