/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable, neither is supporting people who actively want to kill those groups. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

My headcanon is that Number One is the in-universe voice actor for ship computers in Starfleet. Once they made the computer model of her voice, it remained in use all the way to the TNG era.
I doubt Lwaxana Troi would have been interested in sitting still for a hundred hours of voice recording.
They wouldn't need hundreds of hours of voice recordings to replicate somebody's voice in the 24th century. We don't even really need that today.
Not even one hour. Not even one minute. Seconds.

I don't know, would they make an augmented human, even one with special dispensation to be in Starfleet, the official computer voice?
At some point her face starts showing up on recruitment posters, so maybe? On the other hand, we only saw a poster like that 100 years after her time, so maybe not.
Alternatively, she leant her voice specifically to the Enterprise computer, as seen in TOS. Then years later, when it was decided to standardize voices across the fleet, they just went with what was used on the Enterprise. Because the Enterprise always seems to be the favourite of the fleet.
