Just like those macroviruses, the Loom hadn't reckoned on Captain/Admiral Janeway. Their mistake! Besides, compared to her journey through the Delta Quadrant, these "otherworldly tyrants," to quote The Doctor, were a warp core breach in the park. Though 'tank top Janeway' was (briefly) teased in the trailer, the scene itself in The Devourer of All Things, Part II was even more badass than we could have imagined, with precedent. Don't mess with Janeway, she knows her phase variances!

If the Loom want the Voyager-A, they'll have to go through her first. We've seen Janeway pilot a shuttle before, and indeed the ship itself with the skill you'd expect (see DreadnoughtScientific Method, and Year of Hell, Part II for more tank top), but never with this level of aerobatics. She even gets off a reference to her former principal helmsman of the OG Voyager before firing a spread of quantum torpedoes at the lone Loom: "Tom Paris taught me that one, but this one's my own."

This was Star Trek perfection the likes of which the Borg could only dream. Emerging from her crashed shuttle, Janeway might have admitted that it "used to be a lot easier," but I'm betting she could still beat us all at a few rounds of Velocity!
