I am almost through the whole of Voyager and there is this one trope that is very prevalent in this series: (Almost) every time there is a distress call and the crew moves in to help, it is either too late (everyone's dead already) or the people they help later turn out to be evil.



I actually can't remember any time where they responded to a distress call where the people who sent the call actually turned out to be good and turned out to be what they appeared to be in the first place.



So my question is, did that ever happen?



So, TLDR: Did Voyager ever help people who fit this pattern:



  • They attracted Voyager's attention using a distress call

  • They turned out to be good (meaning, not an antagonist to Voyager, and conforming to Starfleet values)

  • They were who they appeared to be in the first place (no hidden identity/occupation/...)

          In VOY: Prime Factors the crew answer a distress call from the Sikarians. They turn out to be extremely friendly, bordering on Risian.



          In VOY: The 37's the crew answer a distress call and find various preserved humans. Despite a slight misunderstanding with the planet's inhabitants, they turn out to be entirely friendly.



          In VOY: Lifesigns the crew answered a distress call from a Vidiian scientist. She turns out to be benign and doesn't attempt to steal their organs.

            The telepathic people from Counterpoint come to mind.



            Although it isn't said how they came in contact with them, they were good people with no hidden motives.

                    White Anglo-Saxon Protestant

                    Image
                    White Anglo-Saxon Protestants ( WASPs ) are a social group of wealthy and well-connected white Americans, of Protestant and predominantly British ancestry, who trace their ancestry to the American colonial period. Until at least the 1960s, this group has dominated American society and culture and dominated in the leadership of the Whig and Republican parties. They usually are very well placed in major financial, business, legal and academic institutions and had close to a monopoly of elite society due to intermarriage and nepotism. [1] During the latter half of the twentieth century, outsider ethnic and racial groups grew in influence and WASP dominance weakened. Americans are increasingly criticizing the WASP hegemony and disparaging WASPs as the epitome of "the Establishment". The Random House Unabridged Dictionary (1998) says the term is "Sometimes Disparaging and Offensive". [2] [3] The term WASP is often used as a pejorative to classify their historical dom...

                    Conflict (narrative)

                    Image
                    Conflict in narrative comes in many forms. "Man versus man", such as is depicted here in the battle between King Arthur and Mordred, is particularly common in traditional literature, fairy tales and myths. [1] In works of narrative, conflict is the challenge main characters need to solve to achieve their goals. Traditionally, conflict is a major literary element that creates challenges in a story by adding uncertainty to if the goal would be achieved. A narrative is not limited to a single conflict. While conflicts may not always resolve in narrative, the resolution of a conflict creates closure or fulfillment, which may or may not occur at a story's end.
