Believing his intended bride would have declared him lost and lacking another Vulcan mate, he declared ''koon-ut so'lik'', the desire to become one's mate, with Torres. After a brief physical contact was made between them, Vorik accidentally initiated the Vulcan [[telepathic mating bond]], which caused Torres to suffer the same neurochemical imbalance that Vulcans undergo. Vorik's ''pon farr'' was ended when he and Torres fought in the ritual ''[[Kal-if-fee]]''. ({{VOY|Blood Fever}}) |

Vorik hadn't realized at the time that "Torres" was actually The Doctor in disguise. |

He is also seen in the mess hall. He was voiced by original actor Alexander Enberg, who was already providing the voices of several other characters. He also is seen playing chess with Hazard Team member Elizabeth Laird later in the game, and is also seen in the expansion. In the expansion, he can be found again at the warp core. |
