/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.

Clone Tuvix, separate one clone, use phaser on Neelix. Best of all worlds.

[–] ShyFae@piefed.blahaj.zone 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What I want to know is, can you promote Harry Kim?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago

Not without causing multiversal harm, it seems.

[–] dracs@programming.dev 23 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I played the demo when it came out. You got the option near the start of the game to either destroy the caretakers array or just use it to go home. I tried the latter, but I failed the check. Not sure if that's guaranteed or if you can really get Voyager back home in a few hours of leaving.

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 39 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I passed the check. You get to go home.

Then you get to start a new game, because, really?

[–] Azzu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 4 days ago

"really?" was exactly the energy of the dialogue you got when you chose this option. Loved it.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 3 points 3 days ago

They also have separate crew options for fully Klingon and fully Human B'Elanna. Personally, I'm hoping we can become the Silver Blood ship. I want to see if I can get them to Earth before they turn to goop

[–] autonomous@lemmy.ml 18 points 5 days ago (2 children)

There is a hidden option: 3. Separate Tuvix, but filter out Neelix.

[–] dalekcaan@feddit.nl 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

"But captain, you've just separated them into Neelix and Tuvok."

Janeway, drawing a phaser: "I'm not done."

[–] autonomous@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

"One last mistake to correct"

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Alternative suggestion: Double Neelix.

[–] mitchty@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 days ago

Calm down Satan

[–] autonomous@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

Horror twist? He's duplicating! 😱😱😱

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago (2 children)

honest lore question:

couldn't they have fixed it both ways?

Restore the originals from the pattern buffer and leave the new guy?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If they'd had the most important person in Starfleet amongst their ranks... perhaps.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

in a completely legal and BINDING way I'm sure

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

No, because they're not in thr pattern buffer anymore.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

well, fuck... yeah I'd be signed up for StarFleet++ which includes backing up my buffer profiles....

that's how they get you.

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)
  1. Copy Tuvix into the pattern buffer.
  2. Split him
  3. Restore your backup Tuvix
[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You're still killing a Tuvix.

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not anymore than the normal operation of the transporter.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 days ago

As soon as you create another Tuvix copy that does not survive.

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Why didn’t they do another malfunction first to duplicate tuvix, and then separate one of them? Or wait for the mirror universe episode, and then split that tuvix? Like really guys

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

I have a theory about this. Riker's transporter clone was discovered 3 years before Voyager disembarked. Thomas Riker was posted on a ship, so he wasn't exactly kept a secret. Janeway was an ex science officer, she would TOTALLY have known about Riker's clone.

She 100% could have suggested attempting to replicate the accident that created Riker but didn't, why?

Theory:

  1. Thomas Riker wasn't a clone, he was ripped out of the mirror universe by the transporter accident. Star fleet figured this out after he was arrested as a member of the Maqui, then fixed the transporters to prevent that from happening ever again, telling everyone they fixed the "dual confinement beam bug".

  2. Tuvix really skeezed her out.

[–] Orygin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

As a non Trekkie, that was fun trying to understand the story plot based on the comments here.
Can't say I fully succeeded though

[–] chocrates@piefed.world 6 points 5 days ago

Wwhhhhaaatttt!?

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 0 points 4 days ago

Don’t do the separation  

Tuvix is sentient and intelligent, better than either, and killing him is murder. 

Is it okay to murder an innocent person if it makes you feel nice? No. 

Don’t kill Tuvix.
