That’s funny since you can change the tip at any time even after the delivery. Plus doesn’t it go against the whole concept of a tip to decide how much to pay before services are rendered?
Out of curiosity, how much had you already taught them about the tasks? Was it just expected that between the whole team there would be someone who knew this stuff?
If you post something on the internet, there should be no expectation that it won’t be preserved for an arbitrary length of time. Same as how you can’t legally claim that you expect privacy while in public
That episode is probably my favourite episode of Voyager so far (but I’m not very far into it yet). The idea of the culture shock that would come to a whole society when they find out all at once that death is a real thing is fucking crazy and they cover it really well.
