/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.

Lol, as if the Borg could assimilate Shatner's 1979 silky greasy coked up and permed sex appeal.

The Borg Queen would suddenly find herself in fuzzy focus, drapped in gausey polyester, smooching on Kirk.

Meanwhile, Scotty's hotwired that shit, has knocked out the drones, and is flying it around the sun at warp 9 to go back in time so he don't gotta deal with that mess.

Space Austin Powers engage!

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 45 points 2 months ago

My money's on main cast.

It's also a small, presumably nimble, target.

[–] if_only@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago

Depends on how many episodes are left in the season

[–] marlowe221@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don’t think I would bet against any space worthy vessel that contains Montgomery Scott….

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Worst case scenario he drinks a drone under the table and then loots all the shiny tech to make something clever.

While Kirk “distracts” the queen by sleeping with her. She probably thinks it was the easiest implantation ever, but whatever.

Yeah but the Borg get it too

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Kirk would teach the Borg about kissing.

What's the Matter with... This Cube? She's built... like a Steakhouse and... Handles... like a Bistro

[–] Sxan@piefed.zip 2 points 2 months ago

While Scotty adapts þe shuttle to be able to do warp 12 and fire a single pulse from a subatomic disrupter cannon, which can one-shot a Borg cube.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think the Borg Cube wins, but only to set up Kirk and McCoy getting Borg-ified and turned into a new Movie Menace that Picard, Sisko, and Janeway have to team up to defeat.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

By "defeat" surely you mean talk them back to their humanity, resulting in some sort ot shenanigans scored by Michael Giacchino.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Eventually. But not before Riker, Worf, and Chakotay square off with Borg Kirk and punch each other a few times.

[–] Throbbing_banjo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I read this as "bong cube" initially, and was both confused and intrigued.

Hey a so yeah..... shut up dude I'm doing it.... yeah like right now.....hey sorry dude so like I was saying we're like the Borg or some shit and uh we're like totally gonna assimilate...(Giggles) ASSimilate (more giggles) yeah we're gonna simulate your ASS dude... and incorporate your pizza into our mouths! Resistance is not cool bro. Yo if ya got funyuns we'll let you hit this bajoran kush with us, whada say bro?

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 7 points 2 months ago

It'll take awhile, but Kirk will see to it every single drone winds up in a messy transporter accident.

[–] data1701d@startrek.website 7 points 2 months ago

The Borg assimilate buffer time from Scotty; that makes the entire collective several percent more efficient and turns out to be the secret to the Borg taking over the entire galaxy.

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Scotty will simply beam all of them in the transport buffer until their patterns decay beyond any recognition. Just make sure he flushes the buffer when he's done.

Those two dudes are totally boned and they know it.
