Although his condition stabilized, continued experimentation into spore technology became morally unacceptable, even in dire situations. That, too, caused considerable problems, and Stamets nearly lost his life. ![]() The creature was set free once Discovery learned of its torment, and Paul Stamets, the drive’s designer, took its place by infusing himself with Ripper’s DNA. Initially, it required a being called Ripper – living in symbiosis with the spores – who suffered agonizing pain whenever it was connected to the drive. The drive exhibited serious in-world design flaws that made using it ethically questionable at best. RELATED: Star Trek: Why The Original Series' Klingons Look So Different But beneath that first impression lie a number of strong reasons why it couldn’t bring Voyager home, owing both to the specifics of the spore drive and the unique circumstances of Captain Janeway’s crew. Furthermore, Voyager itself utilized cutting-edge technology, which the Federation was presumably willing to risk a great deal for, even resurrecting banned technology.
