History Recap / StarTrekVoyagerS5E3ExtremeRisk

* SalvagePirates

* SmugSnake: Malon Controller Vrelk.

* RocketlessReentry: The episode opens with B'Elanna doing an orbital skydiving simulation.

-->'''Tuvok:''' Mr. Paris, that is perhaps the ''most'' illogical statement you've ever made.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: The Malon shuttle gets stuck in the gas giant. Instead of offering to help, Janeway just orders ''Voyager'' to leave.

-->'''PARIS:''' Let's face it; Class-two shuttles just don't cut it in the Delta Quadrant. We've needed something bigger and better since we got here.

* SelfHarm: B'Elanna turns the Safety Protocols during the various simulations, which leads to serious injuries. When asked about it by Chakotay, she states that she wants to feel something other than numbness.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness

'''JANEWAY:''' The Doctor says many of the wounds were treated by someone with the medical expertise of a first-year nursing student.

* SeriesContinuityError: The computer issues a verbal warning every time B'Elanna turns off the holodeck safety protocols, which we didn't hear in "Night" when Seven of Nine did the same thing.

* BerserkButton: Averted; everyone is surprised when B'Elanna doesn't react to events she'd normally blow her stack over, like Seven criticizing her design or Janeway pulling her off the ''Delta Flyer'' project.

* RuleOfCool: Lampshaded by Tom Paris, who wants to add 'dynametric tail fins' to the ''Flyer''.

* UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway: The ''Delta Flyer'' in launched before they've solved the micro-fracture problem. If B'Elanna hadn't insisted on coming along, the crew would be dead.
* WhenSheSmiles at the end of the episode it's a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.

* LensmanArmsRace: Seven scans the Malon vessel with the Astrometrics sensors, and finds they're building their own shuttle, which will be ready before the Delta Flyer.

* SurvivorsGuilt

* SeriesContinuityError:

* GadgeteerGenius: When the microfractures threaten to rupture the hull on the ''Delta Flyer'', B'Elanna sets about MacGyvering up a forcefield out of various shuttle components.

* InfiniteSupplies: Enough to build a shuttle of entirely new design. At least this one is a more permanent fixture, being too cool to abandon after every shuttle crash.

* ScrewYourUltimatum: The captain of a Malon freighter holds Voyager responsible for the destruction of another of their ships and announces that they're taking Voyager's new probe as compensation and demands that they immediately leave orbit of the gas giant in which it's currently trapped (presumably under threat of violence). Janeway, never one to take anyone's crap, reminds him that the other ship tried to steal their probe and was destroyed going into the gas giant after it, against Voyager's warnings. When he continues to press the matter, insisting that their people are salvage experts and Voyager has little chance of getting to the probe first in any event, Janeway just smirks and busts out this little gem:
-->"We have a little expertise of our own; we're a very determined crew, so ''my'' suggestion is that ''you'' leave orbit, and in the future, if you come across anything that bears the insignia of the USS ''Voyager'', head in the other direction."

* LensmanArmsRace: Seven scans the Malon vessel with the Astrometrics sensors, and finds they're building their own vessel, which will be ready before the Delta Flyer.

-->'''PARIS:''' Behold the Delta Flyer. Ultra-aerodynamic contours, retractable nacelles, parametallic hull plating, unimatrix shielding based on Tuvok's brilliant design for the multispatial probe, and a Borg-inspired weapons system.

* UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway: The Delta Flyer in launched before they've solved the micro-fracture problem. If B'Elanna hadn't insisted on coming along, the crew would be dead.

* The47Society: B'Elanna ran the Maquis massacre program for 47 seconds, then never played it again.

* LeaveMeAlone: Despite the presence of ParentalSubstitute Janeway, FireForgedFriend Chakotay, her beau Tom Paris, Neelix (who offered himself as TheConfidant in "Day of Honor"), and the Doctor, B'Elanna never goes to any of them for help.

* CoolShip / ShinyLookingSpaceships: The ''Delta Flyer'' is undoubtedly cool.

* CoolShip / ShinyLookingSpaceships

* DullEyesOfUnhappiness

* StepfordSmiler: B'Elanna shows a lot more animation when lying to [[TeamMom Captain Janeway]] or Chakotay that there's nothing wrong with her.

-->'''TORRES:''' When I was six, my father walked out on me. When I was nineteen, I got kicked out of Starfleet. A few years later, I got separated from the Maquis. And just when I start to feel safe, [[EverybodysDeadDave you tell me that all of our old friends have been slaughtered]]. The way I figure it, I've lost every family I've ever had.
