History Recap / StarTrekVoyagerS1E15LearningCurve

'''Dalby:''' I think the inertial dampeners are malfunctioning.\\

* DeadpanSnarker: B'elanna brings a bio-neural gel pack to Sick Bay and calls it the Doctor and Kes' "new patient." The Doctor can't help himself.

-->'''Doctor:''' To discuss the patient's condition in front of the patient would be a serious breach of professional etiquette. ''[B'elanna gives Kes a "really?" look]'' It's been suggested that I cultivate a greater sensitivity to my patient's needs. Don't worry, my little friend!

* LudicrousPrecision: Lampshaded

* MotorMouth: Crewman Chell.

* BootCampEpisode

* ExcessiveSteamSyndrome: Plasma gas

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Day 1 of the Starfleet crash-course ends with the four Maquis walking out on Tuvok.

* TrainingFromHell

* DrillSergeantNasty: Lt. Tuvok turns into this, including expecting one of trainees to degauss the transporter pads with a hand-held device (the 24th century version of scrubbing the floor with a toothbrush). However, The real Drill Sergeant Nasty in the episode is actually Chakotay. The crewmen that Tuvok is training opt to leave mid-drill as Tuvok's logical Vulcan approach does little to enforce compliance. When one of them says to Chakotay that "There's the Starfleet way, and there's the Maquis way," [[BewareTheQuietOnes Chakotay sucker punches him]].
-->'''Chakotay''': That's the Maquis way too, isn't it? And if you want to keep doing it the Maquis way, that's fine with me. We can do that tomorrow, the next day, and every day until you report to Lieutenant Tuvok. You understand me? [smacks crewman in the face] How does a Starfleet officer answer a question?

* InsaneTrollLogic: Tuvok somehow interprets "show the Maquis why Starfleet does things the way they do" to mean "subject the Maquis to pointless arduous tasks without offering any explanation why".

* InfiniteSupplies: Once again {{Averted}}--''Voyager'' has only [[The47Society 47 replacement neural-gel packs]], and no way to get more.

** Gerron takes off his Bajoran earring because it's against Starfleet regulations, as we saw in the TNG episode "Ensign Ro".

-->'''[[Website/SFDebris Chuck Sonnenburg]]:''' Down in the cargo bay Dolby comments that it might be the inertial dampeners failing. He doesn't sound very worried given the severity of the problem. Inertial dampeners are what prevent the immense forces of a ship acceleration or deceleration from being applied to the occupants. Well you know what this is like when you slam on the brakes or take a tight turn in a car that's going at a few dozen miles an hour, so imagine if you are traveling at the kinds of speeds a warp capable ship is. Inertial dampeners failing should be said in roughly the same tone of voice as "MY ARM IS STUCK IN A WOOD CHIPPER!"

* ArtisticLicenseEngineering: We see more of just how well-built ''Voyager'' is. The bio-neural gel packs, which can't be replicated or grown, get sick from a bacterial infection. In addition, the manual overrides don't open the doors if they don't have power, [[NoOSHACompliance which is the entire purpose of a manual override]].

* AltumVidetur: Henry says "In ullam rem ne properemus." which translates to "Let's not rush into anything."

* GratuitousLatin: Henry says "In ullam rem ne properemus." which translates to "Let's not rush into anything."

* UnwinnableTrainingSimulation: One of the tests for the four Maquis involves a ''Kobayashi Maru''-type test using a holo-replica of ''Voyager'''s bridge. Subverted in that there actually is a simple solution; this variant is supposed to test if you KnowWhenToFoldEm instead of dying pointlessly.

** The trainees object to retreating during the UnwinnableTrainingSimulation. Any guerilla or terrorist group knows the value of hit-and-run tactics; in fact, [[CombatPragmatist they can't survive without them]].

* ExplosiveInstrumentation: An explosion in the Cargo Bay where the trainees are causes the expected conflict-resolving crisis.
