A Tuvok Show (Untitled)
[ Spoilers Guide ]

Tuvok and Neelix are attacked by aliens during a shuttle mission. The aliens use a neural paralyzer weapon which erases the memory of the attack in the victim, leaving the mysery of what happened to them and dealing with the after affects of this attack. Because of Tuvok's complicated brain, the weapon not only erases his short term memories, but his entire brain's programming. This means that after regaining consciousness from a coma, the crew has to re-educate Tuvok in every thing - how to talk, how to eat, how to walk, etc. Neelix becomes Tuvok's tutor in these matters, serving as a father figure to him. As a result of this injury, Tuvok has also lost his Vulcan programming, and his brain is no longer to repress his emotions. With a flood of new emotions to experience and a new life, Tuvok finds himself having fun and getting closer to friends in a way that the old Tuvok never could. Tuvok finds that he greatly enjoys his new emotions and relationships, however, after finding about the stoic, emotionless nature of the old Tuvok, he becomes frightened that he might go back to a life that he would be unable to enjoy, figuring that the old Tuvok never had any fun.
