Congratulations, Captain Sisko.

speaking of garak’s political career, ”legate damar died in my arms” is pretty unbeatable as a conversation ender. he could keep pulling that card for the rest of his life

”… and as he lay dying in my arms he managed a few final words, telling me that the 2379 motion for education reform needs to carry majority in the Assembly.”

”… and he told me with a final, shaky gasp that Gul M. in particular needs to be fired for incompetence effective immediately.”

”… and with his last breath, as the light was leaving his eyes, he declared that the combination of purple and red you’re wearing right now should be outlawed throughout the Union."

I know Star Trek is its own thing with its own history and lore but I do love to think of it as this ever-evolving post-historic fiction.

Like imagine the characters reminiscing on the feats done by the Artemis II crew and comparing it to what they’ve accomplished in their future (as writers, our hopes for the future) or comparing things like “Artemis II was the first mission to have a dedicated "Science Officer" console in the main Flight Control Room… they hadn’t even found the space for them on board yet haha” etc etc

let’s just say, hypothetically, your best friend and mentor figure who is a crazy asf old man, dies and is reborn as a bright and driven young woman and now you are her boss. and let’s say, hypothetically, you travel to an alternate reality where the other version of you is a volatile and traumatized asshole and she is your mistress. and you have to pose as your alternate reality self who got exploded. so you have sex with the alternate reality version of your best friend and professional subordinate. do you think starfleet has hr. we all know it doesn’t. but if it did. what would they even do.

I think about the unique trauma Starfleet officers endure a lot.

I have a friend who’s a therapist and a trek fan and I once asked her what she would say to O’Brien if he was her client and she was just quiet for a bit and then finally said. “Woah. No way. That’s crazy, dude. Wow.”
