/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable, neither is supporting people who actively want to kill those groups. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

What do you think of these and others characters of Star Trek if they ever granted such artifact?

Hmm... fun idea!

I feel like Worf would reject it as a dishonorable way to kill one's enemies.

Jadzia would probably study it, kind of like an L, trying to learn the rules and loopholes.

Bashir... medical ethics prevents his using it?

Quark.... hahaha, oh nooooooo!

[–] Jesus_666@feddit.de 2 points 8 months ago

Or maybe Jadzia would wink at the camera and write down "Rick Berman's career".

Quark's Death Note would be one good rounded episode of him creating a market of paid assasinations – before a real pro assassin who is out of contracts due to this would take it and, threating to put Quark in the list, would steal it for themselves and disappear.

Quark… hahaha, oh nooooooo!

Someone is late on their 'stay alive' subscription payments...oh well!

Cause of death: unnatural latinum deficiency.

Quark would talk a big game about using it or selling it (or both) but then just lock it up or something and pretend it never existed. Despite all appearances, he does have a conscience.

Garak, on the other hand...

[–] MajorasMaskForever@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Hey now, simple tailor Garak would just be practical. It would indeed be the safest way

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

The title line about Kira ruins the punchline

[–] ItsAFake@lemmus.org 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Garak: can I get another one? Mines full already.

[–] Kbin_space_program@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

Alternatively: Garak calls Dukat every now and then just to tear pages out and throw them away.

Damar:

 n = 1
 while True:
      print( "Weyoun " + str(n) )
      n + 1

Which begs the question, can a Death Note kill someone before they exist, if you already know their name and face?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 months ago

Your snippet is slightly flawed. You need a sleep statement or else it will start eating though tons of resources

[–] LopensLeftArm@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

Garak just writes, "See included item labeled 'Exhibit 1' admitted to the record." along with a 1200 page document he's spent several decades amassing.

[–] Australis13@fedia.io 1 points 8 months ago

I can see O'Brien thinking about using the Death Note, followed by Keiko yelling "Miles!" at him and hence resigning himself to beam it into space.

I doubt any of the DS9 characters would end up with a god complex like Light does, but I agree with the other comments that Garak would probably get the most mileage out of it and come up with some very inventive ways of dispatching people. Sisko would probably work out that Garak had the Death Note, but never be able to prove it nor that he'd used it.
