It just looks like he's dead. He's got, like, blue paint on him or something. But he's going to be fine.

/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.

Interesting way to do the stitching there...
This is making me wonder: do you think they could just replicate clothes to be perfectly interwoven so that there are no seams? Different fabrics could just be perfectly bonded to each other with no stitching required, and the fabric itself woven in the correct shapes instead of flat fabric needing to be cut and stitched together like we do.
You made me think about this longer than I'd care to admit, and I've come to the conclusion that yes, but.
You'd lose the ability to create certain styles. Sometimes you need to bunch up fabric on one side of a stitch, and it's only secured by the stitch itself. Sometimes you need sharp corners that require a seam. Think about your pockets. Without some clever joinery, your pockets are just kinda poofs.
Sometimes you need to build up material to add some strength and just sticking more fibers together won't last as long.
If every individual thread forms a perfect, closed loop and is intertwined with all the others, that works. But you kind of dress everyone in sweaters only.
Knitting is making clothing without seams.
If we're talking in universe, this takes place before replicators that would allow for your concept. Still, there ought to be a better means for fabrication. In the meantime, it serves as a callback to 60's cone bras.
Wasn't there a scene in Discovery where Burnham replicated a uniform and they showed it on the microscopic level with fancy cgi? Maybe they had the ability to replicate some simpler things?
