    Oh Hell no, I don’t push the button!

    It said shifting into the Star Trek universe; it didn’t say anything about time travel or ending up on a planet other than Earth.

    So I get transported to a futuristic utopia with Replicators and Holodecks, or I immediately get killed by a Space Marine or whatever.

    Either way I don’t have to live in this shithole any more. 🤷‍♂️ I’m pressing it.

    You narrowly avoid Warhammer as you see you’re on the Enterprise. You’re called for a mission. Shortly before you’re beamed down you see it. You look down.Your heart starts racing. You’re wearing a red shirt.

      As Agent Smith said of '90s New South Wales, “the Matrix was redesigned to this, the peak of your civilization”.

        I wonder how the robots understood that peak civilization is being 12 and riding your bike all day every day with no supervision.

    When talking about the Star Trek universe, it’s important to designate both what time and which one.

    Before first contact in any universe? No.

    Prime universe? Sure.

    Kelvin? Sure, why not?

    Mirror universe? No.

    Totally-not-the-mirror-universe-from-Picard? Fuck no.

      humans outside of the federation are treated with xenophobia sentiment mostly. one of the overarching themes, is that non-federation races dont like the expansionist nature of the federation, also the assimilation/melting pot of other cultures. one tng episode, where the native americans decided to leave earth 200years before tng, to find a world of thier own, said the federation became too homogenized in thier culture, and lost its unique identities.

      originally cardassians and KLINGONs before allying with the humans. romulans, SHeliak, paxans,tholians, and the now defunct marquis. since STD isnt really accepted by most fans to be canon, the federation stopped expanding over that 900 years, i think the influences got stretched way too thin by then.

      In other words, about as safe as real life if youre a normal person. We’ve got a lot of time before crazy shit starts happening, and a golden age coming up as well.

    You get transported into the Star Trek universe.

    But

    You will be transported by the Star Trek transporter.

    Is that still you?

      Yes, unless consciousness is more than the totality of our biology and there really is a soul or something erather.

    Which part of the star trek universe, because if it’s being on voyager, fuck that, but if I get to hang out on Deep Space nine, then I’m so in, instantly befriending Quark.

    Transported as I currently am? No chance of being some other race like Vulcan Hybrid or maybe a 40k psyker?

    Nah, I’m good.
