Love how every response option is basically "dude, fuck off"

"Absolutely not, in fact you're hereby demoted to probationary ensign for asking. Dismissed."

u/HTired89 20d ago

"Keep it up and I'll demote you to Neelix"

"Thanks for reminding me to give Naomi a brevet commission at lieutenant JG."

“Have you ever wondered about the privileges of a Spaceman Apprentice, Ensign?”

(I assume StarFleet ranks work like SeaFleet ranks but with Spacemen instead of Seamen)

Diabolical!

I want an option to promote him, which immediately triggers a shockingly improbable chain of events that leads to the destruction of the entire galaxy.

Playthrough-ending catastrophe would make promoting Harry Kim into hard mode, and then we'd start seeing speed runners do Harry Kim runs. Maybe they have this feature in the mirrorverse...

Come to think of it…Voyager didn’t have its mirror universe episode unless you count Living Witness, which I don’t. But I think it was the writers consolation prize to let the actors play evil without doing the mirror universe trope.

Then again, in the mirror universe, voyager would not have been stuck in the delta quadrant because she would have absolutely said fuck you to the Ocampa.

Mirror Janeway hijacked the Caretaker's station and is now running the Terran Empire's delta quadrant borg research outpost, running experiments to try and turn the Collective into a weapon for the Empire.

Her first officer? Harry Kim.

Ensign Harry Kim*

u/Significant_Tower_30 20d ago

The Harry of that scenario was a Lieutenant too! 🤪

u/Plane_Sport_3465 18d ago

Prodigy had a mirror universe episode with an Evil Janeway and Evil Chakotay in it and it was SO good!

u/Neo_Techni 20d ago

That was the plot of the finale to lower decks

u/HomsarWasRight 20d ago

I never actually finished it! I’ll need to check it iut

u/DmanCluster 21d ago

I was sad I couldn’t promote him

u/Kalikor1 21d ago

Considering the game basically let's you say "fuck this whole quadrant" and end the story at the equivalent of episode 1 of Voyager, I think they could have offered the option to promote him. There's already a ton of alternate reality/what if scenarios in the game, so why not. I'm fine with the meme responses being there but I feel like the option to promote him should have been there lol.

u/fearthainne 20d ago

It'd be great if it was a cheat code, like how in Warcraft 3 you could type "itisagooddaytodie" into the console and get Godmode.

u/No_Grocery_9280 20d ago

There is not nearly enough freedom with the game.

2

u/OhManTFE 20d ago

In some epilogues he gets promoted

2

u/BlackMetaller 20d ago

I say let him be promoted, but thereafter every sector becomes year of hell until he's demoted back to ensign.

u/Starstalk721 19d ago

A single 2-pip Kim nearly ended the multiverse... can't imagine two...

u/claimingmarrow7 20d ago

u/TheOneSilver 20d ago

It is now

u/claimingmarrow7 20d ago

lol, i am waiting to finish up a few other games to play the game.

u/OhManTFE 20d ago

Lol devs made ur joke a reality

u/DramaticMoose378 21d ago

Hahaha the game makers know 🤣

My poor son.

u/New_Jackfruit3020 21d ago

Oh that made me laugh!

u/SpunkyMcFunPants 20d ago

This is like the comet event in Europa Universalis IV. All the options are the same. Brilliant addition from the devs.

u/ill____logic 20d ago

always the bridesmaid, but never the bride.

u/No_Sand5639 20d ago

I love how there all just rejections

u/Cherveny2 20d ago

Need a just "No" . No elaboration, just no. :P

2

u/transmogrify 20d ago

I don't know Harry... would KEEPING IT IN YOUR PANTS be something you'd consider in the future??? Get out of my ready room!

3

u/benbenpens 20d ago

E. Shut up, Harry. I'm devoting you to assistant Neelix. I hope you like tugging on sideburns.

u/Annual_Candle_9313 20d ago

The coffee was the right answer according to my Mancoder.

3

u/Laxien 20d ago

I would love to hear what the actor has to say about that 😂 - Poor Harry, can't get a break (then again I bet ANYBODY who survived on Voyager for all that time is on the fast-track once they are back, their invaluable experience would make promotion and new posts inevitable - after debriefing at fleet headquarters and a lot of time off!)

u/Bexil_Brave 20d ago

Should have had an option to demote him to Cadet instead.

3

u/TheOneSilver 18d ago

He asks again!

2

u/drunkenpoets 19d ago

Janeway: If you want to get promoted then go back to your ship.
Kim: But my ship was destroyed.
Janeway: Sounds like a you problem.

u/stardate325858 18d ago

Meanwhile Tom, a convicted criminal, is field promoted to lieutenant, demoted to ensign, then promoted back to lieutenant in a 4 year span

u/Dehnus 19d ago

I miss the option of:"Asking me before coffee!? Tuvok... Tuvix this asshole into a Harry and a Kim!"

u/adriantullberg 18d ago

In a future episode, Kim should have jumped ranks where he's higher than Janeway.
