During LD 3x10, as much as I enjoy the comaraderie (and Boimler voice-cracking through the ship names), I was little confused as to how the entire class could have made it to the Cerritos so fast. Wouldn't they be relatively evenly spread across the safer part of Federation space, with some in the middle of missions?

After some thought, my theory is that the class decommissioning was more immediate than I first thought; Starfleet had ordered every ship of the class to a central location for crew reassignment not too far from Douglass station, so they were already gathered nearby (having travelled from whatever corners of Federation space the class may have operated in) and been waiting a few days or so when Mariner informed them of the situation.

Edit: Fixed the color of the stripe on the dialogue box because it was tearing me up inside. Also, here's a link to the template as an Inkscape SVG in the slim chance anyone wants to reuse it (make sure to have Oswald font installed): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fm8GFs34NNQucgdSFQYzbrkaiyiuD22H/view?usp=sharing

Edit: And now, the conclusion: https://startrek.website/post/12514221

I've had a special Neofetch logo to go with Chicago95 for a while. I finally bothered to switch over to Fastfetch, so I ported the logo over. Above is a terminal window with my result. Here's the git repo. I configured all window panes to be green in order to go well with the Space Chicago95 Plus Theme.

I've often wondered how with the advanced medical science of the Federation how they can, for instance, revive practically dead people, but not create a communication device for Pike (or any of a number of people in the background of Lower Decks) more advanced than a blinking light.

One theory I had recently is that somehow, Pike (and people with similar conditions) received most of the brain damage in Broca's Area, leaving them able to understand speach through Wernicke's Area but unable to produce speech. The chair thus might be a replacement for Broca's Area, but primitive in comparison to the original, biological one. (And further, perhaps the Talosians are able to simulate a human Broca's Area when Pike is left in the illusion on Talos.)

I wanted some ambience for an upcoming Star Trek Adventures game, so I whipped up this simple web app.

I was rewatching LD 4x07 “A Few Badgeys More” when Badgey’s ramble about seeing past, present, and future as he ascended gave me a question: if Badgey has become a non-linear, omnipotent being, what is the impact on the timeline? My thought is that delta insignia seen in Starfleet and past human organizations may actually be part of a bootstrap paradox; the delta insignia inspires Badgey, and then eventually, Badgey, after becoming non-linear and being part of all time and space, causes the the delta insignia that inspired his form in the first place.

Rest in peace. Isn’t he a time traveler, though? I thought Starfleet Intelligence would have resolved this by now.

Salutations. After lurking around and reading posts for a few weeks, I have just created an account on this instance. Mostly, the experience has been good, but I am having one major issue: Shaka when the walls fell with two-factor authentication. When I press the button in my account settings, I receive the error couldnt_generate_totp. When looking in the Javascript console, I found the following occurred every time I pressed the button:

POST https://startrek.website/api/v3/user/totp/generate 400 (Bad Request)

I received a 404 when navigating to that URL. Is the API for generating TOTP keys not set up on this server? I am concerned about any count where I am unable to properly set up two-factor authentication, and I would be pleased if this difficulty could be rectified. Anyhow, glory to the houses of all involved in maintaining this server as an alternative bastion of Star Trek discussion on the internet.

Let's imagine that there is an Earth from an alternate timeline where the planet received alien interference in the late 20th century that makes humanity certain of alien life and warp drive (note: not warp-capable), with the early 21st century on technological par with the prime timeline's 21st century. In this early 21st century, a person accidentally make both a universe and temporal crossing into Earth in the prime timeline and the late 24th century.

Starfleet quickly locates this highly confused person. How would Starfleet handle the situation while abiding by the (Temporal) Prime Directive?

Personally, I would think given the exceptional circumstances, that Starfleet might given the person limited mobility on Earth and only Earth, and eventually allow them to live permanently in the prime timeline if they have exhausted the list of possible ways to return the person to their timeline. This is especially considering that the alternate Earth has already been interfered with, and Starfleet has no way to know the natural development of neither the alternate timeline nor its native earth.
