I need more
September 10th, 2006. The day a legend was born.
2·3 months agoOh that’s a far better joke… I’m stealing that one. That’s fantastic.
Okay that got me. I’m referencing the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and, more specifically, the Observer Effect which says that the study of something will inherently change it. Granted, that applies to physics in that case but it’s still used in reference to studying various other things as there is no way to study something without leaving a footprint of some kind. That footprint alone is enough to vary the study or, as Starfleet is afraid of with Pre-Warp civilizations, vary the thing you’re studying.
Which doesn’t line up with anything that Starfleet stands for. Either they’re going cloaked literally all the time and never contacting any outside races, which is antithetical to everything that the United Federation of Planets does, or you’re only using it in hotzones that Starfleet actively tries to avoid in the first place. But you’re also forgetting about the major risk of running cloaked. If someone does detect you, your intentions are going to seem immediately suspect. You’re not going to come off like some noble, space-faring organization that strives for the best in everyone if you’re hiding from people and spying on them before revealing yourself.
Yeah, that’s all I’ve got too. Research/study of Pre-warp civilizations is literally the only thing that I can think of but Heisenberg says “Good fuckin’ luck with that one” too. Maybe the cloak could break it.
Why?
Phase tech that would allow them to purposefully go through matter? Sure. But the cloak part isn’t really necessary when the whole purpose is to explore. It’s useful for combat but Starfleet actively tries to avoid battle as much as possible. Having invisible weapons or starbases just feels like it goes against what the Federation stands for. To not hide in shadows but stand up and speak truth.
To me anyway
I haven’t had or put up a Christmas tree since I was a child. I don’t see the point. I don’t do any seasonal decorations. Time moves so fast that it’s like a week later I’m taking down a bunch of shit I paid money for and can barely use.
For REAL. The work and attention to detail that went into it is astounding. Sitting in the center of the riser on my desk so I just see it all the time. Second I clean up the desk I’ll have a pic…
Well, Athan Prime is glad to clear you for undocking, Admiral o7

So many people complained about the buggy but I never got it. We’ve seen tons of situations where the shuttles aren’t totally viable so it makes sense that they’d have a backup. And humans like to have fun. If Picard never had a reason to bring that out until now, makes sense he’d want to enjoy it the same way any Dad does when they pull out a new tool/toy for the first time.
