/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.

MODERATORS
Don't neglect the power of friendship!
I think that they often just repeat what is said, feigning understanding, and trust the crew.
Repeat what is said and feign understanding. Of course! That just might work. Make it so.
Most of the writers apparently didn't like coming up with "technobabble" and would often just marked it in the scripts as (TECH), the science advisor André Bormanis would then be tasked with making up the "junk" phrases and concepts to be used.
The term technobabble was eventually used by the character Q, the writers enjoyed getting to express their frustration with the task through his complaint.

Picard: You just made that up, didn't you?
Uh, um. No, of course not, Captain.

"coherent graviton pulse" at least sounds like a gravitational wave laser gun, which would be pretty cool.
Has your analysis suggested any way in which we might seal this rupture?
