/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

After Picard/Discovery I don't have a good read on the Federation any more, but I kind of feel like they absolutely would have shipped her back to her own time, rather than assign her to a science vessel after what must have been like a ten minute orientation.

Well the time travel thing is extremely high risk, so sending her back wouldn't be easy, nor chosen lightly. Plus her skills as a marine biologist would be invaluable to keep the time traveling whales healthy and alive so they didn't have to go back and get more next time the probe came around.
But yeah, they did seem to just hand her a uniform and throw her at a starship, eh?
With all the shit Starfleet keeps falling in, they need as much personnel as possible. They kinda die a lot.
I don’t think she specified that she would be on a starship. I would guess it’s a seafaring ship, dedicated to following George and Gracie around for study and caretaking. As you say, she’s the only one left with the skills, not to mention the personal connection.
Bringing her forward would have less impact on the timeline than sending her back with knowledge of the future.
