Dear Fanfiction Writers:
Normally, I wouldn't contradict the captain, but in this case I have to.
She is addicted to coffee, for all the reasons she listed in the last letter. It does not, however, hinder her ability to command. Although I can testify that she nearly activates self-destruct if her coffee spills, and that if you want her to be in a good mood, wait until she's had coffee.
Sincerely, Commander Chakotay
