/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Phone a friend Dr Leah Brahms

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 49 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Brahms: "Hello?"

Geordi: "Doctor Brahms, I-"

click

Brahms: "Every time this ship tries to end your life, it's me."

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 35 points 4 months ago

I was going to say that option 5 was recreate a Leah Brahms on the holodeck and make her your first ever girlfriend.

Inverse tachyon pulse from the Deflector Shield, obviously missing.

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 16 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

How can you possibly save the day without some inverse tachyons?

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

The Federation be sprayin' that shit everywhere like its DDT in the 1950s.

Ghost Love Score intensifies

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Find it funny how it would've been much easier to duck under it than to do a whole dramatic scene.

Coolant leak! We've got a coolant leak!

Warp core can't overload if it's not even loaded.

[–] Gimpydude@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Considering how many times they have to eject it, I'm surprised they don't carry a spare!

[–] Steve@startrek.website 1 points 4 months ago

I know, right? It’s not even that big

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That’s the way we do things, lads! Makin’ shit up as we wish.

The Klingons and the Romulans, they pose no threat to us!

[–] canis_majoris@lemmy.ca 19 points 4 months ago

What about the deflector dish? That always seems to help.

This is how every FTL encounter feels like

[–] PythagreousTitties@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Are there any good trek mods, or "sandbox" mods for FTL?

The U.S.S makes shit up.

The U.S.S Make Shit Up Lyrics

Well, I was stranded on a planet, just me and Spock We met a nasty Nazi alien, he locked our asses up We found a hunk of crystal and a metal piece of bed We made a laser phaser gun and shot him in the head!

Well, I was standing on the bridge when Sulu came to me His eyes were full of tears, he said, "Captain, can't you see? The ship is gonna blow, do something, I beseech!" I grabbed a tribble and some chewing gum and stopped the warp core breach

And I said Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish That's the way we do things, lad, we're making shit up as we wish The Klingons and the Romulans they pose no threat to us Cause if we find we're in a bind we just make some shit up

I know he's just a child, and most think him a twit But Wesley is the master when it comes to making up some shit He's the guy you want with you when you go out in space Just tell him: "shut up, Wesley," if he gets in your face

And if you're at a party on the starship Enterprise And the karaoke player just plain old up and dies Set up a neutrino field inside a can of peas Hold on to Geordi's VISOR and sing into Data's knees

And I said Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish That's the way we do things, lad, we're making shit up as we wish The Klingons and the Romulans they pose no threat to us Cause if we find we're in a bind we just make some shit up

Sisko's on a mission to go no bloody place He loiters on a space station above Bajoran space The wormhole opened up and now they come from near and far We'll keep the booze but please send back the fucking Jem'Hadar

And what is with the Klingons? Remember, in the day They looked like Puerto Ricans and they dressed in gold lamé Now they look like heavy metal rockers from the dead With leather pants and frizzy hair and lobsters on their heads

And I said Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish That's the way we do things, lad, we're making shit up as we wish The Klingons and the Romulans, they pose no threat to us Cause if we find we're in a bind we just make some shit up

Well, I was stuck on Voyager, pounding on the door When suddenly it dawned on me I've seen this show before Perhaps I'm in a warp bubble slightly out of phase Cause it was way back in the sixties when they called it "Lost in Space"

We were looking for a way to make the ratings soar So we orchestrated an encounter with the Borg Normally you'd think that that would get us into shit But this one has a smashing ass and a lovely set of tits

And I said Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish That's the way we do things lad, we're making shit up as we wish The Klingons and the Romulans pose no threat to us Cause if we find we're in a bind we'll just make some shit up

Well then they got a new show, And it's called Enterprise And it takes place a hundred years Before Kirk was alive They say that it's a prequel Or so that's what it's called It's such a bad idea you'd swear that Lucas was involved

They have a Vulcan female But she's a nervous wreck Her ass is sweet as Seven's only green So what the heck They're in the past but Klingons have those lobsters on their heads I'm more confused than Wesley Crusher nude in Tasha's bed

And I say Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish That's the way we do things lad, we're making shit up as we wish The Klingons and the Romulans they pose no threat to us Cause if we find we're in a bind we just make some shit up

Bonus verse!

Well it would seem a big wig up at Paramount Must have felt the franchise was stale by all accounts Cause he hired J. J. Abrams to give the thing a shove I feared that he would mock and mangle everything I love

Well I went to the movie and there much to my shock There were hunky models playing Kirk and Spock Vulcan's been destroyed and the timeline has been crushed So someone tell me why I love this film so fucking much

And I said Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish That's the way we do things lad, we're making shit up as we wish The Klingons and the Romulans they pose no threat to us Cause if we find we're in a bind --we're totally screwed but never mind-- We'll pull something out of our behinds What does God need with a starship? We just make some shit up

How do you make a decision; in general, I mean?

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 8 points 4 months ago (2 children)
  1. Weigh the pros and cons of each option
  2. Get stressed out and ignore it for a week
  3. Realize you forgot about it and are out of time
  4. Pick something at random.
[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

But, what if you need to make the decision right now, because you are at Who Want to Be a Millionaire or are in a triage situation?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Did you win/ and or make it home alive?

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 0 points 4 months ago

IDK the very idea of being in front of that many people and on TV makes me want to start hyperventilating so I would be dead long before I got to that point.

[–] massacre@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Alternate reality decision making change:

  1. Realize you forgot about it and are past the deadline

  2. Someone else picked. You are either demoted or dead. Neither surprises you.

E: Hope whatever blows up the ship causes a time loop so you get lots of chances to try again and again.
