/c/TenFoward: 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.

Or Data standing right in front of the path of the phaser beam right behind whatever device is supposed to stop it.
It would be like holding a new piece of armour plating technology that has never been tested before, holding it over your chest and asking your buddy to shoot a rifle bullet at it to see if works.

Is this Sam Kirk? .... I guess we now know how he died.
People have literally died doing that.
They didn't have budget for an engineering lab set. They spent it all on the LEDs that went into Data's head subcutaneous superstructure.
They famously only got the engineering set built because Roddenberry insisted on writing it into the pilot episode.
STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION
"THE CLOSET INCIDENT"
INT. ENTERPRISE - MAIN BRIDGE
PICARD (turning to Geordi) Mr. La Forge, we need more power to the shields.
GEORDI On it, Captain.
Geordi hurries to a small, inconspicuous closet at the side of the bridge. He opens the door and steps inside. The closet is cramped, filled with various cleaning supplies and equipment.
INT. CLOSET
GEORDI (whispering to himself) Alright, let's see what we've got.
The lights in the closet flicker, and a low hum of machinery can be heard.
INT. MAIN BRIDGE - CONTINUOUS
The crew on the bridge looks puzzled
WORF (raising an eyebrow) Did he... Go into the closet?
PICARD (trying to maintain composure) Starfleet decided the production was too expensive.
Riker stifles a chuckle. Suddenly, the console beeps and the shields increase power.
PICARD (exhales with relief)
Geordi emerges from the closet
GEORDI (tapping his combadge) La Forge to bridge, power levels are stable.
PICARD Nods awkwardly.
PICARD Excellent work, Mr. La Forge.
The crew exchanges amused glances.
FADE OUT.
Was it installed on Tuesday?
If it's dangerous enough to risk the ship, they should probably do that in a shuttlecraft far away from the ship or on some uninhabited moon or something.
They have those sets.
Probably the only thing that made sense in Into Darkness.
Oh, man. I'm reading Red Shirts by John Scalzi right now, and this hits home.
That book is great.
That’s what it was like way back in the 2360’s.
Whatever it takes to get the opportunity to eject the core.
Inhabiting the body of Geordi was all part of Shaxs' return from the Black Mountain.
They should do this stuff in the garage -- er, shuttlebay.
Never test in production!
safety squints… engage.
Same with that unknown thing Bashir found that blasted data into Dreamland
edit-they did it again after they knew it fired shit too
Ok true, but otherwise this is easily one of my top 5 episodes.
