Naomi Wildman Naomi Wildman was the mixed - species daughter of Ensign Samantha Wildman , a Human , and Greskrendtregk , a Ktarian . She was born , and lived , on the while it was lost in the Delta Quadrant . Life on " Voyager " . In an alternate 2371 , when Kes returned to Voyager in 2376 and time traveled , the Tuvok in the past saw Naomi exiting a turbolift . Since there were no children on board at that time , he was puzzled over Naomi ' s existence . He told Captain Janeway , who in turn spoke to The Doctor and confirmed that Ensign Wildman was indeed pregnant . ( ) Naomi Wildman was born aboard the to Ensign Samantha Wildman in 2372 on stardate 49548 . 7 . She was the first of two children born aboard the Federation starship , the other being Miral Paris . During her birth , " Voyager " was duplicated by a spatial scission phenomenon . Because of this , both tried to stabilize their rapidly - draining antimatter supply with a series of proton burst s , leaving one of the ships badly damaged . When sickbay lost power , Naomi died on this ship due to hemocythemia , a correctable condition caused by a fetal transport . The completely healthy baby from the undamaged ship was brought on board by that ship ' s Harry Kim , as the one from the damaged ship was blown into space during a hull breach , before the undamaged ship self - destructed to stop a Vidiian attack . ( ) Early in her life , the Kazon captured " Voyager " and stranded the crew on a primitive planet . Naomi , because she was born in space , became ill and almost died . After Commander Chakotay rescued a young girl belonging to a native tribe inhabiting the planet , she was saved by the leader of the tribe using herbs and roots . ( ) Due to her Ktarian heritage , Naomi grew astoundingly quickly in her early childhood : in 2374 , she grew five centimeter s in only three weeks . ( ) In early 2375 , Naomi was apprehensive about Seven of Nine ' s Borg nature , and consequently avoided her . Neelix attempted to convince Naomi that " the Borg lady " would not harm her . Naomi expressed a desire to " pull her weight " on board Voyager by becoming the Captain ' s Assistant on the bridge . She demonstrated intelligence and scientific aptitude , as well as an understanding of ship ' s systems , including the ability to encrypt the holosuite controls . ( ) Subsequently Naomi began secretly studying Seven , deciding that the Borg pursuit of perfection would help her achieve her goal of working on the bridge . Seven caught her at it . Hearing the explanation , Seven declared that Naomi ' s neocortex was too immature , but it was a worthy ambition . During an incident in which Seven took on the personality of a young girl , the two spent about an hour playing games . During this time Naomi explained that she hoped to rise through the ranks and eventually become Captain of Voyager , with Captain ' s Assistant the first step in her career . Naomi drew a picture for Seven while she was being treated for the condition . After Seven recovered , she decided to help Naomi with her studies on the Delta Quadrant , and asked Naomi to help her develop her social skills by teaching her the rules of the game her little girl personality had played with Naomi . ( ) Later that year , the two deepened their friendship following " Voyager " s encounter with a telepathic pitcher plant , when they were the only two people immune to its telepathic influence due to their relative indifference to returning to Earth . ( The Doctor was also immune , given his holographic nature , but he was initially deactivated . ) After the ship entered the organism , Seven and Naomi were the only two people still conscious for a while , Naomi asking to stay with Seven as she investigated what had happened . ( ) Eventually , Naomi and Seven became such close friends as to say that they considered each other family . ( ) Later that year , Naomi helped persuade Captain Janeway to launch a rescue effort to save Seven , who had been recaptured by the Borg , as well as being present when Janeway realized that the Borg had been communicating with Seven of Nine prior to her departing with the Collective . ( ) Neelix was Naomi ' s godfather , and used to tuck her in bed at nights . ( ) He also cared for her while her mother was on away mission s . In 2375 , her mother was aboard the " Delta Flyer " when it was caught in an ion storm and crash land ed . Neelix looked after Naomi while the search operation took place , and was prepared for the possibility that he would become her guardian should her mother not be found . He played with her on the holodeck and helped comfort her when she found out the truth about her mother . Eventually , she and her mother were reunited . ( ) Some of her duties as Captain ' s Assistant would include greeting new crew members . Naomi found Ensign Marla Gilmore in the mess hall and offered her services in providing replicator rations or a tour of the lower decks . Gilmore thanked her and said she would keep her offer in mind , later expressing surprise at the fact that " Voyager " had been able to provide a child with a stable upbringing despite their unconventional situation . ( ) Naomi was also educated by some of the crew , such as Neelix ( astronomy ) , Seven of Nine ( geometry ) , Icheb ( genetics ) , The Doctor ( biology and botany ) , and Commander Chakotay ( paleontology ) . ( ) Naomi was hesitant around holocameras during her annual physical , and The Doctor had to constantly ask her to hold still . He allowed her to photograph him to show that no harm would be done , and she mocked his constant nits about holding still . ( ) After his ordeal with the shuttle " " , Tom Paris received a hand - drawn get - well card from Naomi while he recuperated in sickbay . The card featured crayon drawings of Paris and B ' Elanna Torres . Torres was impressed with the likeness of Paris , but she said Naomi " didn ' t quite capture her eyes . " ( ) A glitch in the secondary systems caused by Seven upgrading the computer core caused the communications net to malfunction , redirecting different comm channels to the wrong people . While trying to reach the bridge , Commander Chakotay received a number of comm calls , including " " Computer , locate Naomi Wildman . " " The voice clearly belonged to her mother , Samantha Wildman , who sounded quite annoyed with having to make the inquiry , as if it was a regular occurrence . ( ) Naomi was concerned about Seven when she tried to assimilate " Voyager " s database . Seven tried to make sense of more than she could process , and she questioned Naomi about her father ' s heritage and asked if she sided with Chakotay or the captain . Naomi grew worried , but in the end she forgave Seven and they played " kadis - kot " . ( ) When the Vaadwaur children came on board , they called Neelix names in Naomi ' s presence . Naomi took offense and refused to play with them . When Neelix questioned her about it and found out what had happened , he said that she didn ' t have to play with them anymore . ( ) Naomi also befriended the Borg children who were taken on board in late 2376 . ( ) At one point , the Borg twins , Azan and Rebi , wanted to clone Naomi as a part of the first Annual Voyager Science Fair , but were eventually persuaded to use potato es instead . Naomi ' s own science project was a holographic model of her father ' s homeworld , Ktaris , which depicted weather patterns . ( ) In addition , Naomi enjoyed telling stories to the children . Mezoti claimed that Naomi had said that a monster lived on deck 12 , section 42 . Neelix said he would have to have a talk with Naomi . In addition , Mezoti said Naomi told her that Neelix always exaggerated . ( ) While investigating an assault on Crewman Tabor , Tom Paris , and Harry Kim were able to reconstruct a photon - displacement silhouette of the attacker . The computer was able to isolate general parameters of the attacker , as between 170 and 190 centimeters in height , weighing about 75 kilograms . After Paris noted that described half the members of the crew , Kim joked , " At least we can rule out Naomi Wildman . " ( ) After Neelix returned from an away mission to Tarakis , Naomi went to visit him in the mess hall . She informed him of her school project , but Neelix was apprehensive and did not appear to be listening . Naomi offered to help Neelix , so that perhaps Neelix could have time to help her . In the process of seeing what Neelix was making , Naomi burned her hand slightly . This caused Neelix to panic over her , and when three crewmen entered , he shouted at Naomi to get down behind him . A security breach was declared , but after several minutes , Chakotay was able to reason with Neelix . He then freed the frightened and confused Naomi . ( ) In 2378 , Naomi helped host a First Contact Day celebration . She learned that Neelix had discovered more of his people , and asked Neelix to introduce her to Dexa and Brax . She and Brax went to play a holoprogram , and were later seen playing " kadis - kot " . Naomi was upset that Neelix would leave " Voyager " to begin a new life with a colony of Talaxian s , but understood his need to be with his people and start a family . ( ) Future adulthood . " In an alternate timeline , an adult Naomi was a Lieutenant serving aboard " Voyager " , along with Icheb ' s future self . Wildman helped the Chakotay of the present and the Janeway of the start of " Voyager " s journey comprehend the predicament . She and Icheb used advanced instruments that were developed in the astrometrics lab to help them chart the ship and develop a plan to restore time to normal . She later helped fight the Kazon and Seska in engineering - engineering having reverted to the time period when the Kazon had taken control of the ship - before the timelines were restored . " ( ) " In another alternate timeline where " Voyager " returned home after 23 years , Naomi had a daughter named Sabrina in 2404 . The two of them attended the ten - year reunion of " Voyager " s return at Admiral Janeway ' s apartment . " ( ) Personal relationships . Family . Samantha Wildman . Samantha gave birth to Naomi in 2372 . ( ) When the " Delta Flyer " crashed in 2375 , she was injured and was more worried about Naomi than herself . Her final goodbye message was to her daughter , but the two were reunited later . She and Naomi enjoyed going to the holodeck together , especially to play " The Adventures of Flotter " . ( ) Greskrendtregk . Greskrendtregk was Naomi ' s father . He worked on Deep Space 9 . Since he was not on " Voyager " when it was thrown into the Delta Quadrant , he was unaware that he had a daughter . Friendships . Neelix . Neelix was Naomi ' s godfather , as well as her friend . He often took care of Naomi , especially when her mother was on an away mission . ( ) He and Naomi enjoyed playing " kadis - kot " together . ( ) Seven of Nine .

( ) Sometimes she even imitated Borg behavior ( e . g . memorizing Borg species designations ) , to the annoyance of both her mother and Seven . Naomi thought of Seven as family , and vice versa . ( ) Borg children . Naomi befriended the ex - Borg children Icheb , Azan , Rebi , and Mezoti who were rescued by " Voyager " in 2376 .
