/c/TenForward: 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.

Can confirm, Quarks is fun!
The Quarks Bar that was in the Las Vegas Hilton (back when the ST Experience was first running) ranks pretty high on my list "most fun things I've done in Vegas." I growled at a Klingon, drank a prune juice, and got a replica 1701-D commissioning plate. 10/10: Highly recommend (if you have a time machine).
And yet you didn't order Quark's famous Warp Core Breach?
But really, that sounds awesome.
I don't remember specifics well enough but I was under age at the time, and I'm guessing if it was on the menu it was boozey.
Kinda. Quark starts making one for Bashir in s6e20 "His Way," but he rejects it partway through the process.
Edit: The drink itself.
At "Quark's Bar" in the Star Trek: The Experience exhibit at the Las Vegas Hilton, there was an actual Warp Core Breach on the menu. A variant of Flaming Volcano, it was designed to be consumed by two or more people and consisted of ten ounces of flavored rums, Razzmatazz, fruit juices and 'dry-ice'. The drink was actually created for the Experience. (Trekkers: Stories by Fans for Fans p 73)
I did the STE simulator in Vegas in 1999, didn't realize there was a Quark's too. Dammit!

More realistically:
Hmmm... I'm torn between opening one of these, or a Central Bark Doggy Daycare.
Although to be honest, Central Bark's nagus requires a smaller share of earnings kicked up to them.
Didn't know that was a real thing.
It's clever, but with a shade predatory business practice.
Today, Central Bark boasts over 40 locations in 12 states, facilitated by a strategic acquisition by NewSpring Franchise in 2021 and the leadership of CEO Bob Crawford since 2022.
Definitely a Ferengi operation.
Maybe ripe for a joint location... only for the authorities to find the poor doggos at Central Bark running on treadmills to power the holosuites at Quark's.
