/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.

She wasn't even the Chief Engineer on the Hiawatha though, she was just said to be an engineer serving onboard, and we know she isn't Chief on Discovery because in Season 2 she says that the Discovery chief engineer sent her to Stamets lab. It's left really vague. The sameway that Culber isn't the CMO as most think he is, that's Dr. Pollard. Discovery doesn't follow the typical thing of focusing on roles onboard but people individually. I love it but it does make things slightly odd when trying to figure out whos who sometimes.
Huh, I guess I just mentally interjected her position as Chief to make sense of her being a Commander then. She's likely the 3rd highest ranking officer on Discovery, and yet she's just a random engineer lol.
Oh that's totally understandable. I did too. I'm not saying this like an "um actually" for the record, just hammering home your own point, but in Season 3 onwards she's third highest ranking. In Season 2 she's 4th highest ranking and still just a fuckin Commander. Pike, Saru, Burnham, Her. Presumably the Chief Engineer also outranks her by position/time onboard and Dr. Pollard is a Commander too so that knocks her down to 6th.... It's fuckin crazy how many high ranking people are on Discovery. Understandable given the importance of the vessel but holy shit.
