If this is NASA, what year is this?;; @firsttocolonizemars
A lot of strange things had happened since Jean-Luc became captain of the Enterprise. Even from his very first day, nothing had ever been quite... normal. Then again, ‘normal’ was a matter of perspective. And the Enterprise, as the Federation flagship, was far from a normal ship with a normal voyage.
Now, though, something was very, very abnormal. He and Q had gotten into another petty argument about history, and power, and every other moral issue they had been over again and again. Q had said he was being ‘arrogant, self-righteous, and ungrateful to those who came before’. To which Picard had argued that he was very well aware of what good people of the past had done.
“I’m not saying that NASA was worthless. I’m saying that that
it was simply... very primitive compared to where we are now.”
And then, without any more warning, Picard wasn’t on the Enterprise. He was... well, he wasn’t entirely sure where he was. But there was another man, and he did know who he was.
