* TooGoodForExploiters: Emck, in spades. He uses the Void, which is also home to a species of alien, as a dumping ground for radioactive and antimatter waste. To try to protect the aliens, The Voyager crew show Emck a way to clean and refine the waste so it can be used for other purposes. He seems to take an interest in it, but then refuses, as it would mean that he would be out of a job. Plus, he makes a wider profit margin by dumping the waste in the void, since he has no other competition in that area, and he sees the aliens there as inferior to him. Just to be a Jerkass and rub salt in the wound as well, he decides to attempt to either keep Voyager in the Void, or destroy them.

The crew, much like populations all over the world, are forced to contend with waiting out a phenomenon that would take many months to see to completion; unfortunately, for Voyager's crew, they are already on-edge two months into the journey because of the repetitive tedium and loss of interesting or important maintenance activities.

** Despite Seven's handwave about sub-systems being unaffected, the holodeck program continues to play in the dark. This means that the projection system that makes everything appear monochromatic is part of the holodeck sub-system, but the actual lights within the simulation are physical lights in the holodeck, which directly conflicts with what we've seen of holodeck's before.
