I want to die in battle

… except I want to be over 70 when I go.

It doesn’t have to be literal combat. But I want to die a violent death, not in a nursing home.

So help me out here with some suggestions that I can keep in mind these next 40 years.

Minimum requirements:

  1. I want to go out physically struggling for something that will do somebody some good. It isn’t enough to fall to my death mountain climbing. It has to have a purpose.

  2. It can’t be truly suicidal. It can be nearly hopeless, a situation where in an action film people would say, “Don’t go in there! It’s suicide,” but it can’t be something like being a suicide bomber.
    That’s the minimum. But in the best case scenario I would actually be in face-to-face combat with villianous men.

Suggestions?

I suggest you lead your virtuous and heroic crew against impossible odds to defeat a younger version of yourself who happens to be intent on leading the Romulan Empire in the destruction of the United Federation of Planets.

And you even get to say, “Engage.”
