/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. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

These people are all very successful. The main problem would be getting them to work together. If anything, this would be the luckiest ship in the fleet. At least 8/9 of them have major plot armor. This ship would be like Gilligan's Island in space.
Voyager is already Gilligan's Island in space.
Also, it would appear the ambassador "somehow" got shot out the airlock. These things happen. No need to investigate.
No, Star Fleet does not allow accidents like that to happen to anyone above the rank of Ensign.
But what we could do, is have her negotiate a terribly important dialog with a group of what the captain believes are a Silicon based life. Probably. They... um, are subject to both a... slow metabalism, and a temporal... reversion.... yeah. They take weeks... or even years. Yeah years to say a single word, but do to a.... temporal... quantum.... entanglement. Yeah, Temporal Quantum Entanglements... Because of that, the Bauldarians need to hear a response the second they stop speaking. And if they don't get one, the diolog will fail and then where will we be? Right. So yeah, our diplomat needs to stay on the planet within the circle of the Bauldarian council. She can have a shuttle craft to act as a diplomatic living space... but we need to replace the engine with... um, a backup life support system, sure.
Oh, yeah, and the comms on that shuttle, don't function... due to.... ions.
The delegates:
I'd never subject such beings to said diplomat.
Now, the later inquest might show that there was a convent error in the life detection of the Bauldarians, and some of the supposed qualities that the captain laid out, might not have any basis in truth, and that the bauldarians were, in fact, just a rough circle of stones from an ancient meteor impact on a lifeless moon in an unfashionable corner of the Beta Quadrant. One whose name and location were flagged with a warning, and had a warning beacon orbiting the planet left by this very vessel, transmitting this quote in every federation known language;
"Class D Hostile Godlike being. Cannot leave surface without aid. Do not believe any message from the surface, Do not land or transport to the surface"
Yes, I'd like to order 8 seasons please.
And a spin-off that will ultimately be recieved poorly, be canceled after two seasons, and then slowly gain popularity as people realize it's not actually bad, they just wanted something else at the time.
... Too on the nose?
If Broccoli didn't have to compete for the position of chief engineer, he'd have the confidence to do an excellent job.
Uh, the man was possessed and put the entire Enterprise at the mercy of an alien race. That's at least first officer material.
