Well, I think we all knew this would happen eventually but it still doesn't make this day any less tragic. It pains me to report, friends, but this morning at 0600 hours Lieutenant Tom Paris saw Lieutenant Commander Tuvok (having both been summoned to the bridge via red alert) sans makeup and not only asked if he was tired but also exclaimed 'geezsh' the moment he saw his face. This is being treated as an international incident and Neelix will be giving updates as they arrive.
