  • I’d never subject such beings to said diplomat.

    Now, the later inquest might show that there was a convent error in the life detection of the Bauldarians, and some of the supposed qualities that the captain laid out, might not have any basis in truth, and that the bauldarians were, in fact, just a rough circle of stones from an ancient meteor impact on a lifeless moon in an unfashionable corner of the Beta Quadrant. One whose name and location were flagged with a warning, and had a warning beacon orbiting the planet left by this very vessel, transmitting this quote in every federation known language;

    “Class D Hostile Godlike being. Cannot leave surface without aid. Do not believe any message from the surface, Do not land or transport to the surface”


  • No, Star Fleet does not allow accidents like that to happen to anyone above the rank of Ensign.

    But what we could do, is have her negotiate a terribly important dialog with a group of what the captain believes are a Silicon based life. Probably. They… um, are subject to both a… slow metabalism, and a temporal… reversion… yeah. They take weeks… or even years. Yeah years to say a single word, but do to a… temporal… quantum… entanglement. Yeah, Temporal Quantum Entanglements… Because of that, the Bauldarians need to hear a response the second they stop speaking. And if they don’t get one, the diolog will fail and then where will we be? Right. So yeah, our diplomat needs to stay on the planet within the circle of the Bauldarian council. She can have a shuttle craft to act as a diplomatic living space… but we need to replace the engine with… um, a backup life support system, sure.

    Oh, yeah, and the comms on that shuttle, don’t function… due to… ions.


  • Neelix may have seemed like a bumbling fool, but yeah, he would be a solid choice as security officer. He had years of training under Tuvok, and actually ran point on quite a few of the stranger episodes in the later half of the series.

    He rescued the crew a handful of times. So yeah. Neelix is a solid choice for security chief.

    He’d perform there far better than as a diplomat. It seems like half the major conflicts the Voyager got into were because of Neelix. The rest were squarely on Janeway.












  • The Factorio dev. I’ve heard he’s a shit person but not dove deeper into it.

    Edit; did some looking and yeah, he’s a shitbag. He claimed that Statutory Rape was a SJW term, and that teachers should be able to seduce their students as long as they weren’t violent.

    Then he used a dev blog to link to a racist misogynistic jackass, and when called out on it (The guy just wanted a disclaimer on the link) Korvex went on a rant about cancel culture and then tried to defend the misogynistic views, claiming that “maybe there’s a reason why there are so few women coders”
