Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

one

Founders - Change shape
Thing - Change shape

two

Founders - live in a giant soup and can split off from the soup at will
Thing - Can divide up the shape at any time into autonomous functional groups

three

Founders - Fly in space ships
Thing - Flies in massive space ship

four

Thing - Doesn't like fire
Founders - who likes fire?

I posit that the founders are the Thing, but perhaps a group of founders operating in special operations mode. Or they could be children out on founder Rumspringa like Odo was.
