@Odo@tenforward.social Constable, I've been thinking about your bucket for a while and I feel like you deserve a nicer place to hang your hat, so I threw this together - integrated inertial dampeners, variable gravity matrix, cup holder - the works. One thing - you're not allergic to theta band radiation are you?
Me: Computer, status of reactor core?
C: System is operating within specified parameters.
Me: Status of the subspace transceiver assembly?
C: System is operating within specified parameters.
Me: Number of open work orders for Station Operations?
C: Zero.
Me: hmm...guess I can relax a bit today.
Dax: incoming message from the Defiant
Sisko: CHIEF

Kira:....chocolate bunnies?
Me: Yeah! Kids love them!
Kira: I asked you to tell me about human spiritual beliefs and you're saying they honor a philosopher who was murdered for his belief in peace and understanding...with chocolate bunnies?
Me: And jelly beans! Those are my favorite.
Kira: Weird thing, but we honor the passing of Kai Prajon, the first Kai, the exact same way.
Me: Chocolate bunnies?!
Kira: No, we fast for a week while praying.
Me: Oh. I thought there would be bunnies.
Sisko: CHIEF. It's been three hours and none of the eggs have been found yet.
Me: I know sir, I'm surprised.
Sisko: Well, were did you hide them? Maybe we should give them a hint.
Me: Good idea sir! Hmm...well the cloaking generators I used do leak neutrinos if exposed to a polaron field - think that'll help?
Sisko: Cloaking generator...?
Me: Yes sir! It's right next to the subspace inverter so they're slightly out of phase.
Sisko: I'll just say the prophets took them.
The new season of #mst3k really speaks to my interests. Gold jumpsuits, improvised engineering, questionably designed space stations and a cruel, beautiful, distant, female villain.
As a Starfleet Officer, Husband, Father and human being, I deeply deplore violence and fundamentally believe in the Federation philosophy of empathy, communication and understanding.
I still want to push this woman out an airlock every time she speaks. https://social.targaryen.house/media/5BSa86EonWtSWTagA6A
Starfleet Security Directive 87-T-ER
'Security Audit of Non-Federation Installations' instructs all engineering personnel to immediately discontinue all repairs and/or modifications to any foreign equipment till such time safety can be reasonably assured.
Translation - someone at StarFleet Security finally read the email I sent about this!
Starfleet HR would like you to use the following new task codes to better track tasks in your work log:
2084: Standard Starfleet Maintenance (ship/fixed installation/ancillary craft)
2087: integrated systems maintenance (non-Fleet issued equipment)
2088: Spatial anomaly related repairs (subspace/hyperspace/nullspace/chaotic space) - please note non-linear realities require a separate SF-A-21-L temporal report.
2096: Removal of non-corporeal life forms inhabiting Starfleet systems.
Me: Re-route secondary EPS flow to junctions JN-4, JN-6 & JR-1
Computer: This procedure is not recommended
Me: Initiate a level 3 subspace dampening field around the navigational deflector
Computer: This procedure is not recommended
Me: I should call Keiko, tell her I'll be home late
Computer: This procedure is not recommended
https://social.targaryen.house/media/CkdoPoyWajerln4oQyQ #warpcorewednesday I used to love building models of these. The old designs were so simple I could bang one of these together with spare parts now. But Keiko says it's a waste of space.
Rom: Hey Chief, I've got a great idea for adjusting the power flow to the upper docking pylons. #fml
