Chef (voiceover): I'm a private chef for a famous billionaire and here's the average meal I cook. I start with chopping some green onions and shredding cabbage, and then I get it into that wok, then I keep chopping some -

The senior crew of Starfleet's most controversial starship, the USS Normandy SR-1.

blurb and crew list under the cut!

I came up with a whole backstory for this AU, but I’ll just leave you with this blurb:

After the media circus around the Cerberus trials dies down and the rogue Section 31 cell has been thoroughly dealt with, no one expects to see key witness Shepard, ex-special forces commander, ever again. Not after she publicly disavowed Starfleet, and not with half the quadrant still questioning her involvement. They especially don’t expect to see her captaining her own starship. And to hire a turian first officer only months after the Hierarchy’s sudden and inexplicable move to join the Federation? It’s like she’s begging for negative attention. The galaxy wants to know: what leverage does she hold against Starfleet brass to make them cater to her every whim? And how long until the crew cannibalizes itself under her rogue leadership?

SENIOR CREW LIST

CMDR. Shepard, Commanding Officer LT. Moreau, Helmsman

LT. CMDR.* VAKARIAN, XO, Chief Tactical Officer LT. ALENKO, Second Officer SPECIALIST TRAYNOR, Communications Officer

*approximate rank based on Hierarchy tier

CPTN. CHAKWAS, Chief Medical Officer CPO WILLIAMS, Chief of Security N/A [INVALID NAME], Acting Chief Engineer ENSIGN T'SONI, Science Officer

Let’s make this more interesting.

4k video. It’s literally 4k video. Storing the 4k video, encoding 4k uploads, transcoding 4k streaming, indexing 4k video entries for search. Everyone wants to watch vertical videos while streaming Netflix at the same time and also while having a 4k video camera on their person at all times to record whatever. YouTube has 20 years of video and conservative estimates has their monthly active users at 1/4 of the planet. Oh and if YouTube goes down it’s on the news within seconds so the redundancy layers need their own redundancy layers. But yeah it’s 1984 or whatever

[myconetted]

another couple billion people started using the net also

[the-real-seebs]

the amount of data being created and stored is absolutely enormous, and so much of it is video now, that's a big part of it. but also, we've had data centers for years, it's just that we have shiny new tech that needs more hardware and people are rushing to embrace it and build for it.

but also like. my entire online presence for a couple of years used to be a couple of megabytes, now it's probably a hundred gigabytes.
