/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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

Weaponized autism mode: that's an Odo detector, Odo meter would have 1 on the display

Or 100% or thereabouts

What would be half an Odo?

[–] Wataba@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 days ago

It measures his level of grumpiness.

Ranging from 'Hmph' to 'Quaaaaaaark!'

That actually could have been a great plot device. A device that detects Changelings. Likely initially developed by Dr. Mora Pol. Tucked away somewhere on the station found by Rom. Quark would have it for a while as he could use it to sweep the area and check for Odo (which would lead to it being an Odo detector). That's how it would likely first be introduced. But soon, confiscated. Then its brought back and becomes more important once the Dominion plot really goes forward and they're looking for ways to find Changelings.

And all we got was phaser sweeps

Pity about all the plants in the arboretum

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yes? Where's the accurate measurement?

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This implies there's some level of odo in everyone - yes

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

if you're Kira there's always a non-zero amount of Odo in your system...
