Author's Note: These have been a long time coming, and to anyone who's interacted with me on tumblr, you've likely seen these in script-form there. I've reformatted them to cohere with the guidelines of this site. Basically, imagine Voyager has a film crew a la The Office or Parks and Rec. Now imagine that all of canon is what the film crew has... er... filmed. These pieces are little snippets and scenes that happen in between (although they might not always strictly cohere with canon), and most of these are intentionally very short. Anyway, enough of my commentary, it's not like I'm a self-important hologram who likes to hear them self talk! As always, thank you so much for reading and interacting with these stories, and I hope you enjoy!
Existentialism Part 1
The Doctor's matrix flickered briefly. "Sometimes, when I stare into the void, I can feel it staring back."
B'Elanna sighed and kept tapping at the console. "Doc, I'm only deactivating you for ten minutes."
"Do I cease to exist? Do I become a disembodied consciousness? Am I conscious at all?"
B'Elanna didn't bother to look up. "You see? This existentialism of yours is why I need to run a diagnostic."
The Doctor clenched his fists and looked up at the ceiling. "I AM A BEING WHICH HAS ITS BEING AS AN ISSUE FOR ITSELF!"
B'Elanna scowled into the console. "What you are is a fragile ego who's read too much Heidegger."
