The real question is how many atmospheres of pressure can a Bird-of-Prey withstand? (If we want to fish it out of San Francisco Bay.)

/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.

Well, it's a spaceship. So anywhere between zero and one.

I assure you that whale biology does not pay what you think it should.
Based on vehicle she drove, that tracks
It suddenly occurs to me that (as someone too young to have seen the movie until years after it came out) I know her truck looked old, but I'm not sure how much older it was supposed to be compared to the present-day setting.
Edit: I'm finding conflicting info, but it was about 10 years old (a mid-'70s model in 1986). Man, cars wore out a lot faster back then...
Yeah I can't comment of the quality of vehicles back in the day, but that truck was pretty beat up, paint was faded and mildly rusty. I wonder if her working at the Cetacean Institute exposed her vehicle to salt water more than the average car in the Bay area?
