Jennifer Lien

"From The Heart"
Letter Writing Campaign

May I begin by first thanking everyone who sent letters as part of our campaign to get Jennifer back onto Star Trek Voyager. Your participation was greatly appriciated and I thank every one of you from the bottom of my heart.

Although the campaign had mixed results; as we didn't get Jennifer back on the show as a regular cast member; we were able to convince the Powers that Be to bring her back for a sixth season episode. So although we didn't win the war we did have a small victory. ;-)

I sent a story to Paramount on how to bring Kes back after the events of "Fury"; and I also sent the same story to Jennifer Lien. Jennifer replied to my letter and said that she thought my story as GREAT. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to share my story with you, enjoy.

The events from "Fury" were a plan setout by the female caretaker Sisperia. She still blames Voyager for the death of the male Caretaker.

During the events of Cold Fire the male Ocampan, Tannis spent alot of time teaching Kes to control her mental abilites. During one of these sessions he secretly reads Kes's mind and records her memories to take back to Sisperia.

In 'Fury' Kes time travels back to when Voyager was only 50+ days in the Delta Quadrant, so this means the memories of Kes making a recording for her future self would be available for Tannis to read.

Sisperia takes Kes's memories and places them into a clone of Kes. She also adds new memories of anger and hatered into the clone. She then releases the clone to seek vengeance on Voyager.

This is why the clone thinks she is the real Kes and has buried memories of the recording she made to herself. This is also why the clone did not appear in non-corporeal form, but as a normal Ocampa.

During Tannis's lessons to Kes, he teaches her how to increase her life span. However, Kes at that time was not at a sufficient competence level to use the age lengthening techniques. However, when Kes evolved to an energy being she reached that level and could apply the techniqus on herself. Kes can now live for much longer and has total mastery of her telepathic abilities. She is now a wiser Kes through her many adventures in the Delta quadrant.

When the real Kes, still looking as young as ever, hears about Voyagers encounter with the imposter Kes she travels back to visit her former crewmates to find out what really happened.

Using transporter records of Kes during the events of Fury, the Doctor identifies that it was not really Kes that visited them, but an imperfect clone of her.

Sisperia hears about the failed attempt by the clone and then sets out to destroy Voyager herself. However, because she is aging and nears death herself, she brings along a group of powerful Ocampan followers with her. Voyager and Kes have a head to head battle with Sisperia and her Ocampan followers.

In the end Voyager and Kes are victorious and convince the Ocampan's that they did not kill the Caretaker.
Kes rejoins the Voyager crew.

As a sign of reconciliation Sisperia and the Ocampan's help push Voyager back to the Alpha Quadrant.
Sisperia and the Ocampan's then head back to Ocampa to save the home world from the Kazon.
