I think obvious that she would have sided with Maddox and disagreed with the ruling. I don't think her capable of overcoming her prejudices against artificial life forms.
VOY is the most scientifically illiterate of all Trek series. They tried to sound at least as “sciency” as TNG, but:
They spent half a season searching ores on planets while mentioning a gas
They invented the “iso-” pseudo prefix to hide they didn’t understand the metric system (in a prior episode they were alarmed by a cosmic event generating as little pressure as 10 atmospheres).
Indeed. Watching Ready Room and paying attention to details after Jack Quaid mentioned the effort to include them was really nice. And Mariner’s demeanor and speech patterns were awesome. No wonder the cast felt “energized”. The animated faster tempo is real.
