/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.

He doesn't mess around
Missed opportunity to Photoshop his reflection onto Siskos head
*the Orb of Sisko.
The added layer to this joke is, as someone that works with engineers, this is exactly the kind of response Sisko should expect.
If you ask dumb questions, you'll get dumb answers.
In five years, I'll still be fixing someone else's problem. Maybe yours, maybe somewhere in the delta quadrant. Who knows.

Right after you jury rig it to continually feed back on itself so it doesn't degrade? Right?.......... Right??!?!!?
Shhhhhhhh. No worries now.
Only dreams.
That makes me realize, Star Trek has lots of video calls, but they don't show your own picture, like video calls in our time do.
Those are crazy time-delay mirrors?
Wow. Just watched this episode last night.
Poor O'Brien. Also, I wonder what that fruit he ate tasted like...
Surprised the Federation just rolled over on this one...
More to go!
silly sisko. humans are not 5 dimensional creatures, we can't see the future.
Not sure what’s worse. Being transporter chief or being handyman on a bigass space station. I feel like transporter chief would be more chill. Either way he always seems grumpy about it. And his wife isn’t doing him any favors.
He said himself DS9 is easier because it's less boring.
