* UnreliableNarrator: Being fairly educated about technology, the children immediately notice when Neelix screws up some technical detail of the story and start correcting him. After he points out that they can either keep talking shop about technology or let him tell the story, he proceeds to make several other blunders (such as having Janeway refer to a "dilithium intake" at one point) uncorrected. This is kind of a clue to the audience that if anything anyone does or says in this story seems technically impossible or out-of-character for them, we can chalk it up to Neelix's fumbling the story again. Turns out to be a bit of Fridge Brilliance on Neelix's part, as his "mistakes" cause the children to believe he made the entire story up...which is fine with him, because he didn't want to frighten them with the truth, but also didn't want to lie to them.
