/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.

I just re-watched TNG "In Theory" (S04E25) and Data says that the door to his quarters is set to only allow humanoids to enter or leave when Geordie finds Spot in the hall.
Whilst I get that it would be dangerous for Spot to wander the ship freely I think it's kind of mean to keep him locked in a small room like that forever. There doesn't seem to be any cat toys in the room but maybe the computer is capable of some sort of environmental enrichment we can't immediately see.
Does the prohibition of genetic enhancement also apply to pets?
Now I'm wondering if Data ever brought Spot to the Holodeck. "Computer, run program Spot #7" (looks like a farm setting with space-squirrels and such)
I feel like TNG missed a trick by not have a Feline Ops department.
"Ensign Spot, what is your report on the feline habitability of Eridani 3?"
"Meh."
Not really. His quarters seem spacious enough and as long as he has plenty of engagement - which we can assume he did because of his study of having a pet, indoor cats are perfectly happy lazy balls of frustrating love.
I mean, there are trucker cats who are happy.
Do you have a cat? There would be several episodes about Spot breaking various ship systems and causing cat-astrophes
Your summary feels like an episode of Lower Decks demanding to be written!
I have an introvert cat that would think I was torturing her if I were to make her leave her little spaces.
I'm sure Data had Spot out at one point and they spent six hours climbing through Jeffrey's Tubes to find him.
