I would hope most people would be made whole through FDIC insurance. That's 250k per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category.

Kurn would open diplomatic talks with a volley of photon torpedoes. If they survive the initial klingon hello and he likes the cut of their jib then, and only then, do the tests of worthiness begin.

Cetacean ops has been converted to a bloodwine vat for optimal diplomatic relations.

This answer scares me from a user named Mechaguana. You aren't planning anything the rest of us should be aware of are you?

Curzodo was effectively stealing Curzon from Jadzia and Dax and was in the wrong therefore we don't feel that bad for him.

Tuvix did nothing wrong to become who he was, it was just an accident.

Swap Kurn and Adami. I think that would be scarier.

Think about it logically. How would they track an individual purchaser even if it was watermarked? Say i buy a disc with cash from a second hand store. What would link my identity to any purported watermark? Nothing. For that reason alone I would strongly doubt watermarks on retail discs.

Screeners are probably marked though so if you’re a member of the Academy probably don’t seed those discs without precautions.
