/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.

I just collect microwave oven transformers, diodes, and capacitors. Weird, huh?

You don't like the magnetrons though? They're the closest you can get to handy dandy home particle accelerators ever since we got rid of CRTs.

Now I'm wondering how many days a week they work and how many hours a normal shift is.

Since they're not depending on the sunlight to mark their days, the "graveyard shift" might not even be a real distinction for them.

Depends if you're working under Jellico or not.

Why was everyone opposed to going to 4 shifts from 3 shifts? That's less work per day.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Hell if I know. Less days off because you need to staff all stations for those four shifts?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Just realized the Cerritos runs on a 4-shift rotation. Or they skipped gamma when naming shifts.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I don't know how I forgot the delta shift stuff from lower decks. That was a while plot point.

This is one of the most autistic visions of utopia I can imagine.

Starfleet doesn't deserve O'brien.

He is, without a doubt, the most important person in starfleet history.

Sorry, zephram, you gotta take second. I think he would be okay with being second. First is too much work.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

O'Brien is certainly one of the most abused, weathered Starfleet officers. He ended up on DS9 fighting an insurgency, and spent 20 years in a mind prison. This description could go on for hours.

Emptying and cleaning the biofilter is his favorite part.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I thought that was Mariner and Boimler?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They served on the Cerritos. Rom was on DS9.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Correct. I've never heard of Rom dealing with Biofilter cleaning, but if anyone had to do it on DS9, it likely would have been him I supposed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Sure as heck not gonna be O’Brien. He got a lot of shit jobs but one does not simply order a Chief/Warrant Officer to go clean a cumrag and not face some interesting fallout.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Three strips of gold-pressed Latinum for Quark, one for Rom....

You're right!

Five strips for Quark, one for Rom.
