Which begs the other side of the question ..... what organization would place someone with so much trauma, PTSD, unresolved issues and psychological disturbances in the leadership role of a major ship that is responsible for diplomatic missions, first contact, military engagements while at the same time protecting the lives of a crew of hundreds of individuals.

It would be like having a captain of a modern aircraft carrier, who had been in the second world war, held hostage by the Japanese for months, psychologically tortured, had served in Europe and tortured by Nazis, been placed in psychotic/psychedelic testing after being kidnapped by Communist Russia ..... had his body surgically altered and had seen death and destruction to cause lifelong PTSD

It's pretty wild that they kept piling on the stress after every major life event and kept putting him in the captain's chair.

Drugs. Lots and lots of drugs.

We never hear about how the replicator can replicate lots and lots of drugs, but it clearly can replicate lots and lots of drugs.

And if you get addicted, sickbay has the cure!

Tea, earl gray, hot is vastly different from hot earl gray tea.

I'm guessing then that wasn't a regular cup of Earl Grey Tea ..... it was probably just programmed code for something else

Why do I have the feeling that the cure is more drugs?

Just use the teleporter to remove the traumatized parts of his brain. Or something. They have space magic level technology. Who's to say?

/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
