/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, we saw him capable of impersonating the captain's voice with 100% accuracy, create a long ass command code, and give himself full command of the ship while locking out all senior staff.
That was after he caused an atmosphere issue on the bridge and made everyone clear out.
So I would way... Within seconds.
Counterpoint. While he may be fully functional that doesn't necessarily imply that it is all at once. I think he has the ability to subtly, nay, must apply pleasure at a reasonable rate.
There’s a TNG episode where he gets auto recalled by Soong. He takes over the bridge and redirects the enterprise to new coordinates. It takes like a minute to empty the bridge because he creates a life support failure.

Hey, don't post that. It includes my wifi password:
77?
During the night shift he could just lock out the turbolifts, flood the life support system with neurazine gas, and beam the crew into space for good measure. Five, ten minutes tops.
Very quickly.
It’s kind of funny how naive their security protocols often are but that also goes to show how cynical and barbaric we’ve continued to become
Yeah that episode where they found a couple rich guys cryogenically frozen, and they treat the ship's comms system like an intercom for the butler, really showed there's a minimum level of competency expected of anyone (even non crew) on any star ship.
I just have a hard time believing a starship that is regularly full of children, civilians, and random alien passengers has zero security precautions in place for its intercom. The ship often has unprofessional individuals wandering the corridors.
There is an episode where Picard is turned into a child and he has trouble with the computer because it is set to "childproof mode". Maybe those kids aren't doing insane stuff with the technology because it recognizes their ages and locks them out of certain functions?
I think the childproofing was just because that terminal was in the daycare. As soon as Riker enabled the terminal it worked fine for command functions.
You are right! Time for another rewatch ...
Well it's the far flung future where they can have fully productive meetings that end in 3 minutes with the problem solved...so somewhere along the lines they could probably be able to tell kids don't push this button and fully expect those kids to not push that button 47 times per day
The kids on the Enterprise are likely more disciplined than the hooligans we see on DS9, that's for sure.
Why did you post a picture of a war hero and one of Earth's greatest authors?
Quarter of a second to vent the atmosphere. And then however long meatbags survive in no atmosphere?
You know, being fully functional and all…
