    The important thing about Voyager is to tell stories that don’t go anywhere. Like the time I needed to recalibrate the holodeck’s stablization matrix. Well, I glued on fake sideburns to my face, as was the style at the time, so that I could go to deck 34, which in those days was called 33b. Where was I? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had glued on fake sideburns to my face, as was the style at the time.

      Listen. I know it’s a joke. I know. It’s not meant to be taken seriously. But I am cackling for the completely wrong image.

      Voyager has 15 decks.

      I am dying laughing at the idea of someone getting to the outer surface of the hull and then climbing, somehow, on invisible stairs until much further into space itself, the whole time with sideburns glued to the EV suits helmet.

      I need sleep. So bad.
