    • And yet another twist with secret agent Neelix, which is a good twist. Also an actual dilemma on going home or staying.

    I say we blast the bugger and ask questions if there's anything left over. Dialogue is important but here it risks endangering innocent lives as the Caretaker may seek to draw power from the Okampan population in order to strengthen itself for a fight.

    The "blast him" plan does involve blowing up the charging tower - that's another point in its favor.

    However, talking to him might let you both have Caretaker and end the horrible abusive system!

    ...also, holy shit this quest is popular, why are so many people reading this quest???

    You want the truth? The same reason you made it. They think the same way.
     
    [X] This is the peaceful solution - violence is violence, even if it's prettied up with crystal palaces and euphamisms.

    No desire to actually go home so…
     
    Hmmmm. A difficult decision. If we attempt diplomacy, we risk tipping off a highly advanced orbital station.
    If we blow it up, we strand ourselves in the Delta Quadrant.

    Can we ask Neelix if diplomacy had everbeen attempted, and what they might know of the Caretaker's history and motivations?

    Plus regular updates and a healthy number of participants. People like to take part in quests other people are taking part in.

    Again, I'm reminded of how the Viidans were given a slap on the wrist and allowed to go despite stealing Neelix's lungs and how even with Janeway's strongly worded warnings they were more or less always preying on the Voyager crew.

    The Caretaker is a parasite who doesn't consider the lives of other sapients important despite knowing that others consider them to be important. His horrible system is no more excusable than a serial killer that murders people so that he has a steady stream of replacement hearts. He is a dangerous sociopathic criminal and should be approached as such.

    Answer: Been attempted, never successful. Caretaker doesn't see other species as being worthy of diplomacy - just takes from them if he wants too, warns them off most of the rest of the time/

    Also, hopefully, it's good :D
     
    Violence might be the only option here. I mean there have been multiple starships dragged here in the past and the Caretaker doesn't seem to have sent any back home.

    Also we have to consider the fact that Voyager just raised pisonic blockers. How do you think the Caretaker is going to take that?

    We are already trapped, TBH.

    We've just been told that the mechanism that got us here killec 600 people, and that was with unique conditions making it much easier and cheaper for it to function. Going back will require far more energy, and kill far more people.

    So, do they lose their powers, or do the powers go crazy?
     
    [X] This is the peaceful solution - violence is violence, even if it's prettied up with crystal palaces and euphamisms.

    For my reasoning, please compare these two quotes.
    Caretaker: "Burned out a few more than I intended, but...such is life."

    Kes: "When he dragged your ship here, it killed six hundred of us. Outright."

    Let us say that there exist people who have, hypothetically, never seen the show, because it's older than they are.

    How severe a "lose control" are we talking? Shatter some plates, or blow up the local city block?

    [ ] We can negotiate peacefull, once we remove the knives from a thousands people's throats (Take or disable the calling tower, then force negotiations).

    Excellent, we talked Seska down :)

    Hope she sticks around, unlike her canon self.

    Ooh, Neelix is Talaxian Intelligence! Even more interesting.

    ..and the Caretaker's using the Okampa as human psionic batteries :anger:

    Oh damn, forgot about the whole "killing people to use the array".

    I for one vote to let DC play with his phasers!

    Do they also get crazy like old Kes did and is this loss of control inevitable or is it something that can be dealt with via technobabble or via the aid of individuals from psychic races with a better understanding of such powers?

    Now I wish we had sapient geese crew. Dang it, Starfleet ships are supposed to have Cetacean Ops, can't the Maquis have a Goose Division?

    As an aside if we help out here that's probably going to put us in the good graces of the Talaxians which could translate out to us to being able to borrow their yards for repair work.

    Also, I'm a greedy fuck and I really want to keep both the Val Jean and Voyager, and who knows how many Okampans would be willing to sign up if we help them and offer them a chance to explore the wider galaxy.

    Same. The Val Jean and its cloak would be extremely useful as a scout/scalpel, while Voyager is our hammer :D

    Normally I'd favor talking first, but since the Caretaker can zap us across the galaxy, giving him any warning seems like a bad idea. It will strand us, but being Starfleet means accepting difficulty for yourself in order to protect innocent lives. Even the Maquis will agree with this, save for a few who joined just to kill people. Our disagreement with them is a political one about means and timing, not the ultimate end.

    Suppose if we're salvaging stuff we could also dig through the remnants of the station. Might get some goodies to modify our holodecks, some new materials, or pick up a tetryon reactor or two that managed to emergency shutdown. Worst case we get some scans and learn about alternate approaches to tech, best case we scan a mostly busted displacement wave generator. In canon dude is beaming power down to the settlement so they'll need something to generate power if we blow him up.

    In canon, one group did manage to create a graviton catapult by studying salvaged parts from the array. And since we have two ships, might be possible to have them help each other "hop" across the galaxy in steps.

    Bog standard Federation fusion reactors.
    I'm more concerned that somebody might try to prey on the Ocampa - through given their psychic power that might not be much of a concern.

    How many Ocampa ARE there on the planet @DragonCobolt?

    Unfortunately, I don't think this would work - the Catapult equipment gets left behind from what I understand, and it couldn't 'pull' a ship to itself remotely.
