How many times do you think Tuvok used the Tarkalean flu excuse before Janeway started going "Hmm..." Seven years is a long time and I'm certain that the first few times Tuvok got the 'flu' Janeway didn't remember or think much of it. Especially depending on how common the Tarkalean flu is (it'd be much less notable if it was the equivalent of being out sick with 'a cold') At what point do you think Janeway went "Let me make a note of this..." and then the next time his 'flu' rolled around, seven years later, she went back to confirm that note. But a good scientist needs more consistent results than that - so it really took a third period of seven years to fully cement this knowledge as fact in her mind. Meanwhile Tuvok's making detailed psychological notes on her. They're a perfect team!

#she said 'the last time you had the Tarkalean flu was seven years ago wasn't it?' and I said 'You used the same excuse EVERY time Tuvok??'#so maybe the Tarkalean flu is common enough that it wasn't deemed necessary to vary the lie ehehehe #Janeway: [scientist] I have to gather data!#Tuvok: [tactical/spy] I must gather information.#Kathryn Janeway #Tuvok #star trek voyager #voy #the idea that Janeway knew bc Tuvok showed obvious signs is a bit boring to me - heheh it's funnier if Tuvok is just appearing #perfectly normal maybe a little bit under the weather like 'I have the flu' and Janeway (who's been conducting a mini study in #the background over seven year periods) is like 'I don't think so... =_='
