They don’t get sick days or snow days from school. I bet they’re just a little bit happy on the inside when some eminent threat cancels school
(Krippendorf’s Tribe. 1998)
When you think about being one of the crew’s family members, sitting in your cabin through all the battles and crazy stuff the ship went through, just waiting while the ship is being pummeled and you have absolutely no idea what’s going on, it’s pretty terrifying. You really have to wonder if Starfleet was making the best decisions for everyone involved.
The notion of exploration has to come with the understanding that crazy shits gonna go down. That being said, the flagship of Starfleet housing over 1000 and includes family amenities is a shockingly short sighted decision. A few centuries into formation and you’ve barely made a tentative truce with 1 aggressive group, have an old standoff carried over by your first contact buddy, and most recently introduced (forcibly) to a formidable menace. Make sure the nursery is fully staffed.

Baby’s first Borgeque.
Edit: there’s definitely some crossover meme potential here
Absolutely on it for tomorrow. Thanks.
Reminiscent of the opening for the DS9 pilot. Set the tone.
I was thinking the same thing
So that’s where the phrase came from! Thanks.

I rarely laugh these days but this had me going pretty good. That kid’s face is perfect for this.
That’s Hasbullah Magomedov. He’s about 20 in that pic (meme from 2022, wikipedia claims he was born in 2002). He’s a Russian Internet personality who has a form of dwarfism. But yeah, his expression is priceless.
Thanks. Considered using this kid:
Felt a little too alarming.
Hay kid, your only parent just died in a crutial ground mission to collect cool looking plants for accent piece in the next diplomatic meeting, tough break, anyway…
Punch Borgy…green?
No, it’s all good. See, before she goes into battle the D evacuates all the civilians to the Saucer… Where… Uh…
Huh.
The battle deck, whatever happened there?
This is where all new crew go to do a short drill called “Look how stupid our ship looks while separated” and then they never do it again.
A surprisingly minimal amount of battle.
mostly that’s where Ryker took all the tinfoil skirts for his hanky panky.
