/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. 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.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

One of you people has counted. Don't tell me you haven't. Nerds.

And yes, I know the picture isn't from Voyager. That was the only one I could find with him saying it.

Yeah, if we're looking for examples of crazy intelligence in inanimate objects (well, inanimate most of the time), the computers have an excellent knack for understanding context. In universe, it could be argued a computer smart enough to understand context could be smart enough to figure out the optimum EMH placement upon appearance.

Or maybe he just appears where he was shut off last time. That would be a lot easier, and it matches what we see in the show, in those instances where he's shut off and then brought back a little later.

He often appears in the same place he was shut down. Not always however, so it's not a hard and fast rule.

But as I said, compared to the mind reading doors, it's a comparatively simple problem.
