Did they exceed Warp 10? I thought Paris only hit the limit, not crossed. I’d rewatch to check, but… Then I’d have to watch the Warp 10 episode, and I’m not doing that again.
Warp 10 and 10+ are the same thing, as you essentially are everywhere and everything at once. The tricky part is parking in your own corporeal form in your own time as far as I’ve come to understand it.
In an early episode on TNG, Riker describes time warp as exceeding warp 10. Which makes sense - at warp 10 you arrive at your destination at the same moment that you left your origin, so at warp 10+ you arrive earlier than you left.
I prefer my explanation: exposure to the space/time distortion of warp 10 gives beings who are used to linear time psychic hallucinations that only diminish with time and space. Tom Paris didn’t begin evolving at all, he just had a Trainspotting freakout that unwittingly forced every sapient being onboard, including the EMH, to experience it with him. It diminished for everyone else once he bounced. Chakotay and Harry Kim didn’t actually find salamanders on that planet, they found Paris and Janeway rolling around naked in a mud puddle making salamander noises. The explanation was made up so they didn’t have to file paperwork detailing a captain and a flag officer being found fucking on the ground covered in their own barf and shit.

This makes it seem like Tom Paris did park in the right place but did not come to a full stop and continued to “skid” in time.
I like it.
The effects of his flight caused physiological stress on his body causing him to wildly hallucinate and pretend to fuck salamander Kathy.
Breaking warp 10?
!

This is salamander baby erasure and I won’t stand for it.
Needs to upgrade his brakes!
