If it were 50% polyester it could have been slimy/oily cotton balls. Lets not even think about wool. (BAAAAA)

Hadn't thought about oil...he would've looked like a human dalmatian then...only in reverse

I just remembered a plot-hole from "Tuvix":the two were merged because of the plant...which was gone.
Doesn't that mean they/he were/was Tuvik, Neelix AND the plant?
Shouldn't they have had petals coming out of their head or something?

Thank you , Brandon.

As one of the other posters commented, it seems as though this is an opportunity for STO. Something to consider. Peace.

You see kids.. this is why you don't give the Fusion Ear Rings, or teach the Fusion Dance, to Star Trek Writers..

They gets Ideas..

the plant was woven into the clothes, thats why the pattern was a subtle flowers rather than the louds patterns Nelixs wore

Yup, perfect opportunity to have Ro in a VERY tight outfit... oh-well, off to the internet to see what that outfit might have been covering.

This is from Star Trek the motion picture. It's from the scene where Decker and Ilia (V'ger) meld together.

Commander Spock: V'Ger must evolve. Its knowledge has reached the limits of this universe and it must evolve. What it requires of its god, doctor, is the answer to its question, "Is there nothing more"?
Commander Leonard 'Bones' McCoy, M.D.: What more is there than the universe, Spock?
Commander Willard Decker: Other dimensions. Higher levels of being.
Commander Spock: The existence of which cannot be proven logically. Therefore, V'Ger is incapable of believing in them.
Captain James T. Kirk: What it needs in order to evolve... is a human quality. Our capacity to leap beyond logic.
Commander Willard Decker: And joining with its creator might accomplish that.
Commander Leonard 'Bones' McCoy, M.D.: You mean this machine wants to physically join with a human? Is that possible?
Commander Willard Decker: Let's find out.

Best answer ever.
