/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.

Hammond, 60 seconds after his first time sitting in the chair:

"I'm not allowed to sit in the Captain's chair of the U.S.S Titan. There's a clause in the insurance contract that specifies me, by name. I think that's a little harsh."

I love these so much. They never fail to be wonderfully weird and dumb.

[–] GrymEdm@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks, I tried to write this one to be really absurd in true BottomGear fashion :)

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You definitely nailed it friend.

The idea of in-universe customizable combadge chirps is fantastic.

And the idea that you could accidently transfer malware if you didn't do it carefully is the icing on the cake.

is this the ransom note they send to our loved ones while our captors force us to watch?

[–] GrymEdm@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can find more in this style if you look up "Bottom Gear" memes and yes, I think they are styled on ransom notes. Which also makes them a pain to make lol

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

aaahhh... got it.

As Star Trek plots go, that's not the worst I've ever seen.

Some say his blood is made in the replicator. Some say he beat Tuvok in an arm wrestling match. Some say he dated B'Elanna Torres after Kes did her thing. All we know is, he’s Neelix!

just rapidly increasing micro-fractures in the hull, no biggie

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Yup that’s… that’s fine. Good.
