Only if they can't help it.

Lack of time is definitely the enemy of table top gaming. I feel very fortunate that I've managed to have an ongoing [mostly] weekly STA game for two and half years now.

Right now there are two ongoing series, Star Trek and Star Trek: Defiant, and there's frequently a number of mini-series happening as well.

They're pretty fan service heavy, which works for me but I know some people find that to be a hurdle.

It’s beautiful!

And even then, there wasn’t much gayness to his acting.

Care to elaborate?

Also, remember that you don't have to be perfect to make progress. Goals require long term work, commitment, and developing new habits. Just because you falter doesn't mean you should give up.

What I like about this is that in Star Trek Adventures, a 1 always counts as two successes.

So, normal difficulty for operating the transporter is 2, but O'Brien is clearly in the transporter room, which reduces the difficulty by 1. We don't know if the ensign started out on a transporter pad, or if the intent was to beam her to one, but under normal circumstances, the highest difficulty for the roll would be 3.

O'Brien has base two dice, and we know he got a 1 on the one the one die in the meme, which is already two successes. The only official stats for O'Brien are in the DS9 Player Characters pdf, and he has 10 Control + 5 Engineering, so if he rolls 15 or less (75% chance) he gets that additional success needed. He also has Focus in Transporters, so on a 5 or less (25% chance) he scores an additional success on top of the first.

Transporter rolls are also aided by the ship, which means the Enterprise D gets to roll one die, and the official Enterprise stats give it a 9 Sensors + 2 Engineering, so it needs to roll an 11 or less (55% chance) to score one success, and ships always roll with Focus, so on a 2 or less (10% chance) to get two successes total.

Also, O'Brien has the Technical Expertise Talent, and whenever he rolls a task aided by the ship's Sensors Attribute, which is the case here, he can re-roll one die including the die that the ship rolled.

Of course, there could be a situation where this particular difficulty was increased by the GM for some reason, but O'Brien should know that before rolling, and could have purchased additional dice with Momentum, or Threat if the Momentum pool was tapped. The likelihood of O'Brien of all characters failing a transporters roll so badly that someone dies is just incredibly small.

All of which is to say that Chief Miles Edward O'Brien murdered that woman.

Garidian. They're a subject species of the Romulan Star Empire, and use similar ships, but theirs are a pale brown/grey with red designs.

One of them showed up in the PIC prequel tie-in novel staring Troi and Riker, and apparently they're in STO now as well.

It would be cute if Pike had a Cayuga patch on his arm as well.

Nurse Chapel confirmed Doctor M’Benga’s story. You don’t think she would lie, do you?

I was actually saying this is the way the ships function on each series based on the analogies given previously.

Okay, well that's patently ridiculous. How is Kirk's Enterprise a monarchy in TOS, but an anarchy in TAS? How does the Discovery crew function as a dystopian society, especially in seasons two and three? Where is your evidence that the NX-01 is a military dictatorship? How is the crew of Deep Space 9 a communist society, but Voyager's crew are capitalistic?

Where is your supporting evidence for any of this?
