/c/TenForward: 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.

Do you guys remember the episode of TNG where people kept vanishing, and only Dr. Crusher remembered them?

I think if they had done that in DS9, to O'Brien, he wouldn't even have noticed, and got caught up on his maintenance. Finally got everything fixed just in time for the universe to collapse in on him.

Wait... wasn't there an episode where basically that actually happened on DS9?!?!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I don't believe so.

I could be wrong.

Removing a couple of those increases efficiency

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Most of the gains come from removing Quark.

Or would the 99.9% vs. 100 be reversed in that case? 🤪

Fuck you Quark holds everything together

Not according to whoever made this image. Hrm, I wonder who it might have been... who among all of them might want it to look just this way...? 😜

I would say that:

-O'Brien keeps the machines running

-Bashir keeps O'Brien alive

-The black markwt keeps the economy running

-Quark keeps the black market running

-Rom and Leeta keep Quark's running

-Odo keeps Quark in check

-Sisko's reputation for DGAF ruthlessness keeps the Cardassians away

-Garak keeps an ear to the ground for the rare occasions when the Cardassians dare to plot fuckery

-Keiko keeps the kids from turning feral

-Kira keeps Bajor happy with the Federation setup

-Dax is also there

True 'dat. Quark and Sisko and Kira also keep Odo in check:-) And Dax likes to watch:-).

Wrongzia Dax is in this picture.

Top: 95% Efficiency (those other crew cause problems sometimes)
Bottom: 100% Efficiency

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

TIL Miles O'Brien is a bottom... 🤯

J/K (that was obvious from the start)! 🤪

Rom is the extra .1% not these other blanked out slackers.

He is the one taking the photo:-)
