Neelix won't continue to drive the elevator until someone checks the roof. They go back to the instincts vs logic battle that I've never been interested in

Neelix won’t continue to drive the elevator until someone checks the roof. They go back to the “instincts vs logic” battle that I’ve never been interested in. Neelix is also upset about how Tuvok talks down to him just because Tuvok is way cooler and better in pretty much every way
