Update: The AMA has concluded. You guys are awesome, and thank you for participating. I hope you found my Admiral-y wisdom insightful.

I'm trying to be less of a lurker here, so figured this would be a good starter post.

I'll still reply now, but not in character. Unless you ask a stupid question ;)

Do you know of any strategies to defeat the dominion threat to the alpha quadrant?

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 31 points 2 years ago

THAT is a stupid question.

Does anyone at the Institute know you're missing?

THAT is a STUPID question.

Is there any such thing as a stupid question?

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 24 points 2 years ago

^^^ That is a stupid question.

Admiral, this ship is scheduled to take 4,000 people to Delta Vega by stardate 52743.5. Are you seriously asking me to detour all the way to Deep Space Nine?

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's a stupid question. (Brushes past you, commandeers your ship)

[–] williams_482@startrek.website 14 points 2 years ago

Umm, yes sir. My pleasure, sir.

You're nailing this AMA, admiral.

That's a stupid....question?

(Thanks!)

Did I miss the AMA, Admiral?

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 27 points 2 years ago

(I got one more in me)

That's a STUPID QUESTION!

No, this is Patrick. I'm an admiral!

[–] Especially_the_lies@startrek.website 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What are your thoughts about Julian Bashir?

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 16 points 2 years ago

That IS a stupid question.

[–] Trekman10@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What sort of advice do you have for an upstart Ensign?

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 7 points 2 years ago

Follow my lead and fake it till you make it.

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What reference have I completely missed?

[–] linux2647@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 2 years ago

DS9 episode “Chrysalis”. There’s a great scene where some augmented, yet socially challenged savants dress up as Starfleet officers. Patrick pretends to be an admiral. When other officers ask him what’s he’s doing, he responds with, “that’s a stupid question,” and they let him proceed with commandeering a ship, etc.

Admiral Patrick, sorry I missed the AMA. This is peak /c/Risa. Hopefully you will grace us with your singing voice in your next AMA.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 11 points 2 years ago

That "do-re-mi" scene was as beautiful as it was random. Sadly, my IRL singing voice would cause multiple red alerts.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 5 points 2 years ago

Way too late for the AMA but welcome to the gang, Admiral (☞゚ヮ゚)☞

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 4 points 2 years ago

I missed the Admiral! Now how will I know if my questions are stupid or not?

[–] Security_Chief_Odo@dubvee.org 3 points 2 years ago

Admiral; I'd say I'm sorry that I missed you, but that would be lying.
