Constance Goodheart

Captain Proton's secretary in the holodeck serial

A holodeck character in Tom Paris's Captain Proton programme, the hero's glamorous and constantly screaming secretary, who is killed when photonic aliens invade the simulation in Bride of Chaotica!.

Constance Goodheart is a character in The Adventures of Captain Proton, the black-and-white holodeck serial that Tom Paris runs aboard Voyager. She is the secretary of the hero Captain Proton, and in the manner of the 1930s film serials the programme imitates, her main job is to be captured and to scream.
She appears in Bride of Chaotica!. When photonic lifeforms from another dimension enter the holodeck and mistake the programme for reality, a battle breaks out between them and the forces of Doctor Chaotica.
Paris and Kim find Constance dead, something that should never happen in the story as written, and it is this that tells them the programme is out of their control.
