I could fuck everyone here if I wanted to.
Riker respects consent. So,
“I could fuck everyone here if they wanted me to.”
And they did. So he did.
I do.
damn. that may kinda be all of us?
Wait, what does this say about Data?
He’s programmed in multiple techniques. A broad variety of pleasuring
Oh, he did alright. Just wait for the day everyone starts “comparing notes”
Or children’s DNA 🤔
The real danger is that he has the charm that it would consensual every time too.
Can you truly consent to someone so charming that you would never say no
That is just the argument of free will vs bundle of chemical reactions and genetic instructions.
you know what when you’re right you’re right
O’Brien does it every day, and you don’t hear him bragging
You also don’t hear his transporter victims anymore.
There was that one episode where Data single-handedly hijacked the Enterprise-D and took it on a joyride to go visit Dr. Noonien Soong and there was basically fuck-all the rest of the crew was able to do about it.
Turned out it was due to some sort of homing device in Data’s head that wasn’t supposed to work that way and it wasn’t going to happen again, etc. etc., but after that I would have been a bit cautious of allowing Data access to anything important.
Even if you tried to deny him access, he’d still find a way to get it. After all, in that very episode he impersonates Picard’s voice to encrypt the computer.
You have absolutely no choice other than to trust him, because you can’t stop him.
In my opinion it makes Data’s character all the better, because all those times he’s being treated like a machine, when his very humanity is on trial, he could flip and kill everyone and take the ship and do whatever he wants, but he doesn’t - because he’s Data, and that’s not the kind of person he is.
The choice would be to remove hom from the crew? Once you turn his off switch that is.
This makes a lot of sense after that one episode where Data is the only one to know of a certain event the others had to forget.
TBF he was ordered by Picard never to reveal the events, and because Data is a stellar Starfleet officer he followed that order almost to his removal from the crew.
If he killed people it would throw off the universal balance. That’s Lore’s purpose.
Picard Maneuver is learning how to hack! 😮
Reminds me of one of my favorites
What a way to go
This one gets me every time.
Kelvin. There’s no “S”
There is. But it should not be capitalized. That is the issue here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin
According to SI convention, the kelvin is never referred to nor written as a degree. The word “kelvin” is not capitalized when used as a unit. It may be in plural form as appropriate (for example, “it is 283 kelvins outside”, as for “it is 50 degrees Fahrenheit” and “10 degrees Celsius”).[5][63][64][65] The unit’s symbol K is a capital letter,[39] per the SI convention to capitalize symbols of units derived from the name of a person.[66] It is common convention to capitalize Kelvin when referring to Lord Kelvin[5] or the Kelvin scale.[67]
But, that text explicitly says it should be capitalized. I don’t get it.
When referring to the scale, but not the units.
That, and when just using the unit “symbol” instead of the full word, like writing “283 K” as shorthand for “283 kelvins”
Thanks! My brain skipped the first bit.
He could do it in really unique and interesting ways, he is fully functional after all
And anatomically correct!
Same thing with 7of9 basically
Same with Geordie, or come to think of it, quite a few of the security personnel (assuming you’re talking about any single room)
Heck, if random Ensign Jo is at the helm and waits for the right moment, they could probably warp the ship into a star before anyone can realize what’s going on.
Though I think one probably one of the most potentially deadly characters in the franchise by sheer skill might be D’Vana Tendi, considering how she went through all those Romulan guards in Veritas, her ability to take over a ship, her ability to switch between an completely unintimidating and absolutely terrifying demeanor, etcetera.
I would think there’d be safeties in place. Just like when the captain give some abstract destination and they press like three buttons and the ship is on the way - presumably the computer recognizes what the captain wants and the rest of the people are there to hit ‘confirm’, and otherwise it’s a make work project.
Iirc it was in a ‘the traveler’ episode of TNG that they explained laying in a course was just 2 numbers (0-360 degrees each) plus a speed. Shouldn’t take to many button presses to accomplish that
One number 0-360, one number from 0-180, and a speed. But they better have quite a few decimal places if you are going to end up reasonably close to a star. Besides, that would be improbably difficult to figure those numbers in your head to go from any given location to any other. And you need to know when to stop.
Truly one of the best star trek moments ever.
A Galaxy-class starship such as the USS Enterprise-D normally had a complement of approximately 1,000-6,000 crewmembers, including civilian residents and families.
Yes I’ve used the bathroom after you and no it’s nothing to brag about. See a doctor.
I mean, anyone could do that from any station on the bridge if they want to, probably wouldn’t even be hard.
Not as easily as this dude though. Because he’s an Android, so he’s kinda op as shit. He could casually swat away anyone who tried to stop him physically, casually out-hack everyone who tried to wrestle control of the ship back from him, and casually do a perfect imitation of the captain’s voice to trick the ship’s security systems.
From a security perspective that boy had no business being anywhere near the ship, let alone its bridge. But that’s showbiz.
So could I.
