Synopsis: The crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos are tasked with escorting a newly restored U.S.S. Voyager to Earth, but encounter an unexpected complication.
This episode can be seen as an illustration of James Hillman’s acorn theory, that just as an acorn has everything inside it to become an oak tree, we all have an inner daimon with all the information we need to become who we are meant to be.
In “Twovix,” the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos is honored with the task of escorting the newly restored U.S.S. Voyager to Earth where the vessel will go on permanent display. Some of the items that have been stored on Voyager are transported to Cerritos, and this inadvertently includes a petal from the orchid that had created a hybrid being, Tuvix, by merging Neelix and Lt. Tuvok on a subcellular level. This petal is transported to Cerritos along with Chief Engineer, Lt. Commander Andy Billups, and Dr. T’Ana, creating a new hybrid being, T’Illups. Learning that Captain Kathryn Janeway killed Tuvix to recover Neelix and Lt. Tuvok when this happened on the Voyager, T’Illups starts creating hybrid beings out of Cerritos officers. Ensign T’Lyn uses the transporter to merge all the combined beings into one singular organism. T’Lyn then enlists the aid of Ensign D’Vana Tendi, to restore all the officers to their individual selves by identifying their unique personality characteristics. Voyager returns to Earth and many of the lower deck ensigns are promoted to the rant of lieutenant junior grade.
In this episode, when Tendi and T’Lyn realize that they can identify and separate the officers that had been combined into the singular organism, by identifying their own unique personality traits, this can be compared to how an individual can know themselves by acknowledging and abiding their own inner daimon. One’s inner daimon has all the information one needs to become who they were meant to be, including personality traits unique to them, that allow them to fulfill their place in the unus mundus, Carl (C. G.) Jung’s term for the one united world, in service to the anima mundi, Jung’s term for the soul of the world.
