You can’t have Morn on coms! He’d never give the other party a chance to speak!

/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.

It's a matter of public record that Morn is quite the talker. Even Jahdzia Dax finds it difficult to get a word in. And we all know how much trill can talk... Each one has enough experience to fill a star ship's memory banks!
Every time someone shows up needing something from the person he's talking to, there's a 50/50 chance it was made up just to give them an out.
I was hoping it would be Dathon from "Darmok" on comms.
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.

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.
Morn on comms is either genius or foolish.
On the one hand, you can encode any message and the adversaries will be so bored of his constant blabbing that you won't even need to encode it
On the other hand, you'll need to divert your EPS relays all to comms as he'll still be saying goodbye when you're light-years away from your last rendezvous. You'll need serious signal strength before he lets them say goodbye.
Bonus: He's old friends with the enemy, so there's a decent chance he'll let you live.
The multiple almost warp core breaches both act as a deterrent but also require you to get assistance from other ships. And knowing your luck it’ll be Sisko and his kid just got in trouble and his autographed baseball was transported into a stew by Neelix and accidentally served by Keiko
Nobody says goodbye on the space phone. It's like they concentrated all their effort at being polite in every single other avenue of life that they forgot phone etiquette. Shit, man, Picard would mute the screen but not disable the video and then proceed to point at and talk shit about the person on the other end of the line.
Morn would only be saying goodbye because it would confuse everyone and give us the advantage.
Dude just cannot help himself. Some people were just born to gab.
Keiko would make a good chef, I think. She has experience with different kinds of cuisine.
Of course, she may not personally enjoy cooking some things, like a traditional Irish breakfast... But she would still make it taste good for the people who do like it (while constantly trying to get them to try literally anything else that's healthy)
And neelix knows how to be serious when it's needed. He would enjoy slam poetry and baking classes in an out-of-the-way area, but the moment the red alert is sounded, he's ready to go with a phaser in hand, and memories of the war.
I'll pass on The Sisko being my enemy. I do not want him to be my enemy. I choose life. He can live with it
Yeah so far the only person who's tried her cooking is O'Brien and he's just a grump about food.
Oh, you don't have to tell me about O'Brien and his moods....
And don't ask what's in the buffers...
What was it like having O'Brien inside you regularly?
Odo as chef is a better option
Just to confirm, that's Pah Wraith Keiko and not "were on a break" Keiko, right?
There's a difference?
By all accounts Keiko does fine with the replicator. I'd put Riker in the kitchen - only Worf liked his cooking.
Pretty sure that was less "Riker can't cook" and more "this unknown alien egg should be a perfect substitute for earth chicken egghhhhhhugghhhhh."
"I substituted chicken eggs for traqueilean eggs, the beef with smoked Targ, and added in some leeola root to give it some bulk. 0/10 I followed the recipe exactly and it still tasted gross"

Meh I'd just swap Neelix and Keiko once we get away from star base and I think this is a crew I can work with. Well except for the fact that The Sisko is hunting us, that's gonna be the end sooner or later.
Sisko is in the federation, how extreme could his actions be?
Remember when he bombarded a planet with a biogenic weapon so Maquis humans couldn't live there? Good times.
To be fair its the one known case of tit for tat to work that I know of.
In truth, if I am captain everyone is fubar!
The first time we hear Neelix say "Well, hello Mister armed intruder" we'll either learn it was a surprisingly smart choice, or we'll need a new chief of security.
He does wear a red dicky under his smock, so I think he counts as a red shirt.
Neelix may have seemed like a bumbling fool, but yeah, he would be a solid choice as security officer. He had years of training under Tuvok, and actually ran point on quite a few of the stranger episodes in the later half of the series.
He rescued the crew a handful of times. So yeah. Neelix is a solid choice for security chief.
He'd perform there far better than as a diplomat. It seems like half the major conflicts the Voyager got into were because of Neelix. The rest were squarely on Janeway.
I would watch this.
Captain "I can live with a little bit of old fashioned massmurder" is the enemy? I give up. Just disintegrate me now.
this made me want a show that's like Seinfeld but for the ship's counselor
If I could only make one change to this crew, I would jetison Keiko out an airlock.
Right? Neelix can cook and be head of security at the same time
Sounds like a job for Tuvix
My opening salvo would be firing neelix out of a torpedo tube. Hopefully that will distract them long enough for me to detonate my own warp core and hopefully take them with us.
At least you'll eat healthy.
i never expected to still have such a visceral reaction to tgn twain, like if i ever hated anyone, it's him and judge judy
That voice...
I mean at least htey have... oh, "enemy".
Swap Kurn and Adami. I think that would be scarier.
First contact managed by Kurn begins with a fight to test their worthiness, followed by a barrel of blood wine.
Kurn would open diplomatic talks with a volley of photon torpedoes. If they survive the initial klingon hello and he likes the cut of their jib then, and only then, do the tests of worthiness begin.
Cetacean ops has been converted to a bloodwine vat for optimal diplomatic relations.
The 'Ritos dolphins are hanging out with Blazin' Bev too much.
The barrel of bloodwine is also a test of worthiness, since we learn in that episode of SNW that a bloodwine hangover is sufficient punishment for stealing a starship with Carol Kane.
My thoughts exactly. Half the crew would rather jettison themselves out the airlock than go to Winn with a minor issue.
