/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

Well, luckily he knows enough about modern systems to know he can talk to the computer for most functions, and if he can't figure something out, he'll just disassemble the control panels and wire up an automation switch somewhere to do the hard parts.

Honestly I think if I came face to face with a wall of instructions for using the bathroom, but I need to use it, I'm just going to find the nearest airlock, do my business, close it and cycle.Just Leave an apology note for whoever has to clean it.

Forces of nature do not wait for the considerations of man.

Yeah, but no airlock in that shuttle.

You make a solid point, but I feel like of all people, Scotty could rig up a force field to block off the front section. It's even got a nice little lip around the inside just behind the cockpit.

Overriding the safety protocols and interlocks to open the hatch mid-flight and re-close it on the other hand...

I feel like he got things figured out.

(also my headcannon is that there are fold-out facilities on all shuttles, similar to how they showcase bathroom use and hand-washing in Firefly)
