MODERATORS
I mean, just depends on the universal translator settings whether everything gets translated to "engage" right :P ?
Mirab, with sails unfurled
Every captain has their defining thing.
Most captains are boring and unoriginal.
By the time of TNG, the Starfleet Command had to institute the Catchphrase Directive, barring all officers from attempting to come up with their own thing because their were too many crisis situations where a the fourth officer in the chain of command had to take the chair and was suddenly stymied because they didn't have a unique phrase prepared in advance for the eventuality that they would be expected to take command.
Thereafter all officers were expected to use any one of the following phrases:
-
Engage.
-
Make it so.
-
On my mark. Mark.
-
Fuckin' send 'er, boys! (Limited strictly to officers who attended the Starfleet Academy affiliate school in Thunder Bay, Ontario)
