/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.

This character list order sponsored by Q.

They did him dirty on Picard.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I will never forgive them for killing Icheb

Why does Airiam get a cybernetic body but Pike is stuck in a beep beep chair?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They learned to not put people into cybernetic bodies after the Airiam incident at Control HQ so they were like "sorry for ya, Chris"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Harsh.

At least he got to Talos IV.

I wonder who else is stuck in a beep beep chair who didn't get the chance to live the rest of their life in a fantasy world created by superintelligent, loving aliens with super mental powers?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Probably very few. The overlap where the kind of injury that Trek science can't fix and the event not outright killing the person has to be hella narrow even in Pike's time, and it would get narrower as time went on.

Rutherford. No one else comes close to solving non-engineering problems like him.

Edit: he is not the best at it. He literally does it like nobody else. All others fall into two camps: diplomat or a troubleshooter, like they approach problems with the mindset that they have to be repaired for peak performance. There is a dryness to their approach that feels comfortable to logical folks.

Rutherford demands you dress like Twain and yell it out in a steamboat. No one does it like him.

Kayla all day. ...but mostly not for character reasons.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait why is Cpt. Picard in the list? Fake heart?

[–] Anyolduser 1 points 1 year ago

Si. Er, correcto.

He just came from the other side. He wasn't always cybernetic, but once that Borg queen grafted living flesh on his mechanical body he became a cyborg, as shown in the photo.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So he was cybernetic for a few hours or so, then was reverted. I don't think that counts.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

On that image, he's cybernetic.

Well, at least if you don't have a "you must be at least this much human to be a cyborg" rule.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This guy gets me. But also the formal definition on Memory Alpha includes Data as he normally is.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

True, but it's not indicative of his normal state. I don't have that rule, otherwise most of the people in the pictures wouldn't count.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

By that logic, the "normal" state for any cyborg is not being a cyborg.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

First 2 lines of the cybernetics article on Memory Alpha.

Cybernetics was the study of hugely complex artificial intelligence systems, usually running on a positronic matrix and often housed inside robotic machine technology. A practical implementation of this was an android.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Okay, so under the in-universe definition he qualifies.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah he's Positronic

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's obviously me!
