/c/TenFoward: 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. 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.

In one episode, Scotty and another crewman were intentionally caught in the buffers to save themselves for something like 80 years, and in that time the patterns had degraded enough that the other crewman couldn't be saved.
It's been awhile since I've watched it, but that was the gist.
They don't have awareness IIRC
Didn't the transporter monsters / crew that Barclay saved have awareness? I'm sure they were trying to get out by grabbing people in the transporter stream.
In that they treknobabble it with "plasma streamers" and "ionization" and some kind of energy microbes, but the worm things were crew members from the Yosemite.
I know they were the crew, but what I mean is, weren't they actively trying to get out of the transporter stream, suggesting that they were aware of their situation?
Ah, gotcha.
I guess it could be argued they were moving with their own will, but it could also have been random movements in plasma.
I don't remember any explanation of if they were conscious of their movement or not.
