/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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

Q as DM is a wash as far as I'm concerned: they're the same picture.
With that out of the way, this could go a bunch of different ways, but here's my most OP squad:
... and my most dysfunctional squad:
Edit: if anyone is looking for a lightweight RPG framework to get this kind of thing moving fast, may I recommend "lasers and feelings.". The rules are just one page.
Gimme those B-squad antics any day. Somehow, I can see Mariner having no problem following orders from Shaw.
I can see that. Really, I just wanted to maximize confusion, in-fighting, and a general "I'm not great at my job" energy. Because RPGs get really interesting when things aren't going well.
I also thought about a "PTSD team", which would be at least Sisko, O'brien, and Picard. I wasn't sure who else would fill out that roster though.
Stamets and Nog
Maybe Kira as well? She surely has some complex ptsd from the occupation.
She bounced back pretty quick, but if nothing else, she'd be the voice to help them keep their shit together.
