/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.

BS. A recurring theme of DS9 was that the federation principles only exist because in times of crisis there are people willing to do what must be done to prevent annihilation.
Both Ross and Sisco did fucked up shit. They didn't do it because they wanted to, or because they deluded themselves into thinking they had the moral high ground. They knowingly crossed lines they swore they would never cross because that's what they felt they needed to do to ensure the safety of their people.
They weren't wrong.
Nothing Ross did when working with Section 31 was worse than what Sisco did during the events of In the Pale Moonlight. We just didn't get a POV entry of Ross monologuing about how he hates what he's becoming, but at the end of the day he can live with it.
