I just want to see a Starfleet captain with a real zeal for ancient seacraft. I can see that spilling over onto the bridge with practical air of fun self-indulgence. Let’s bring back some of those SeaQuest vibes.
- Ensign, make best speed for port.
- Helm, all stop.
- Full reverse! Helm, evasive maneuvers. Bring us 20 degrees below the galactic plane. Weapons, launch countermeasures.
- Engineering, I need silent running, now.
Sisko did build that Bajoran solar sailing ship, which was a nod to seagoing vessels.
“Should we put Captain Lorca’s warp phrase on the image?”
“Nah, fuck that mirror universe asshole. Just add another Pike and call it a day.”
I decided a while ago that if I was a captain, my warp phrase would be Captain Tenneal’s “Let’s Go!” from MXC.
Just posting this comment to call “dibs!”
