/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.

“It's not working.”
“...We're ~~both~~ all reversing the polarity.”
“Yes, I know that.”
“There's ~~two~~ four of us. I'm reversing it, you're reversing it back again. We're confusing the polarity!”
Series pitch: t’lyn (in her absolute unhinged way) figures out how to make the shield polarity orthogonal to previous states, rendering them completely impervious to known powers, who, threatened by this, hatch a plot to infiltrate the federation and steal the technology by becoming member states. The federation’s rootbeer-like insidiousness eventually makes them give up their plot, but they still get the tech anyway because cooperation
Mostly I want to hear starfleet engineers start saying that they’re orthogonalizing the polarity, because I find that I hilariously ridiculous concept.
