I’m pretty sure that by overriding the safeties, Picard had the holodeck program replicate an actual Thompson gun with real bullets.
If I could meet up with Q (doubtful, unless someone knows a specific way to call him?) I would tell him to scan my memories for everything related to the phrase “Star Trek”. I suspect he would either be horrified or laugh his ass off.
There is nothing more dangerous in the Star Trek universe than the holodeck.
Seriously, you’re better off skinny-dipping in the nearest sun than enjoying a leisurly Sherlock Holmes or Captain Proton holonovel.
Regular bullets? Shields work fine. Holographic bullets? Kiss your shiny metal ass goodbye, Mr. Borg.
I’d also paint whiskers on my face and immediately apply for a Federation charter.
My race would need a name. “Cheesedanishians” or something like that.
Holodeck orgy
I’d miss some people and things, but not enough to try to come back. I’d consider coming back if they restored me to full health and I could come back and use future knowledge to my advantage. I’m assuming they wouldn’t let me come back if it would endanger their timeline. If I were from a completely different timeline/alternate universe, I"d want to come back with the most powerful personal computer I could carry. I’m guessing that would allow me to be successful inventing things, or if nothing else, have the computer play the stock market for me or something. Or, hack into the treasury and discreetly transfer a comfortable sum of money into my account, and erase me from the IRS’s database as needed.
What future knowledge? Our 21st century century is not Trek’s.
No, Worf faced the same thing the Borg did: A holodeck with the “safety” protocols nonfunctional. The gun Evil Data used was a holodeck creation, just like Picards Tommy Gun.
Also, think about all the time Worf ran through the passageways, smacking Borg with the butt of his rifle or body checking them. You’ld think they would have time to “adapt” (turn on?) shields that stop solid matter.
Did you stop reading right at the end of what you quoted?
There is a downside, just think of all the diseases you could get like Barclay’s Protomorphosis Syndrome for instance.
I’d want a Tribble.
I would buy a stem-bolt and figure out what their use are. Also try to see if sealing it is really such a pain that you would pay a premium for the self-sealing variety.
I’ve got a case of yamok sauce I’ll trade you for it.
Or, being a chef earlier in my life. Maybe i’ll open a restaurant.
Me too. In yamok sauce.
Which might explain why there is no obvious human religion in the Trek universe (at least among the main characters - Ignoring Chakotay, of course). Unless there is a religion that says your soul gets replicated along with your body, or magically jumps to your new body.
I take off my red shirt.
And find out that the Rule Against Perpetuities police confiscated all of it. Damn!
Nitpick: contractions.
