That, or she should be named “Mary” instead, I guess.

Vulcans.

As a regularly stoic person (maybe on the autism spectrum), I often struggle to show appropriate emotion. Or, at least, it is exhausting.

Having a conversation with a Vulcan would be a breath of fresh air.

Yeah, that’s pretty true.

Be advised: I am unable to log in using the Android app, Liftoff.

I first noticed content wouldn’t load. I removed the account, and tried to re-add it. It simply spins its wheels endlessly with no error or connection. I cleared the app data and cache, and now when I try to add the startrek.website instance, it says “Instance not found.”

I suspect the issue is with their app (looks like they haven’t updated since July), but I thought I’d post here so admins would be aware, and in case any other Liftoff users are having the same issue. I see a lot of comments about Jerboa, so I’ll be trying that app.

I guess I assumed a sort of corollary.

Starfleet personnel ends up back in time on a Starfleet vessel. We both serve the same organization. My duty is to protect the timeline I come from. Your duty seems, implicitly, to aid a fellow Starfleet officer in their mission (to protect the aforementioned timeline).

It seems like Starfleet should have a dedicated Temporal Security crew on every starship and starbase for such an occasion. You find a supposed time traveler, you immediately call this team. They sequester the intruder and go through a careful interview to verify their claim as cleanly as possible, then render what aid is needed to secure the timeline and get them home (or, barring that possibility, get them somewhere isolated where they can’t contaminate the timeline). Then, maybe memory wipe the Temporal Security team (and possibly anyone else who interacted with the traveler). On the flipside, if you end up back in time, it’s expected you should immediately attempt to contact the local Temporal Security crew.

Sure, but what about random crewmen, like in my example? Are they expected to make such a decision?

It should have an option to add an event to your calendar.

Funny enough, if you throw bricks, it counts for both.

Yeah, as much as I actually loved those movies (they were the gateway drug that got me back into Star Trek after only watching random episodes on syndication), I think their window of relevance has passed. Making another one would be pointless, unless maybe if it was some crossover with Strange New Worlds. But I imagine that would confuse general audiences horribly.

Yeah, in-universe, Starfleet seems to have a real nepotism problem.
