/c/TenForward: 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. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

He smells like blue barrels

Petrichor. Heavily musty petrichor.

Bengay and phaser cleaning lubricant

He trains physical and phaser combat all damn day so it makes sense.

In the Star Trek universe .... all humans have had their sense of smell desensitized ... because in places like DS9 the air would be so overwhelming with so many interspecies smells that it would make every human either pass out or vomit uncontrollably.

Is this canon? It sounds like it really could be.

It might smell like a card games shop in summer, but I'd hope the air cycler scrubbers were pretty skookum too

Turtle vagina

The aftermath:

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 week ago

Probably spirit gum and stage makeup, tbh

I assume all Klingons smell the same, like a field of tulips. It's just how their sweat smells.

Worf is very concerned with manliness, nobody warrior spirit, and such. He wears a perfume named Bushido made by Ol‘Fac ATAK. The scent is similar to AXE bodyspray dark temptation.

Talcum powder

What’s up with Bashir’s hand?

[–] data1701d@startrek.website 3 points 6 days ago

I looked at the episode in question, and it looks like his vein is just really big.
