/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

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.
