Best Weapon on Discovery?

In Star Trek:Discovery, the crew is on a mission to beat the Klingons, particularly before they can unite into an empire and be even more of a threat. Captain Lorca is on the war path and is willing to weaponise *anything* if it will end the fighting. But he already has the weapon needed, right there in his readyroom! No, not the guns or knives (or Ripper!) There on his desk, fluffy and unassuming... is a Tribble!

Maybe its not just a visual joke to appease the fans

...Remember the DS9/ST:OS cross over ep, Trials and Tribble-ations? Worf tells Odo that Tribbles are "mortal enemies" of the Klingon empire, "an ecological menace, a plague to be wiped out. Hundreds of warriors were sent to track them down throughout the galaxy, an armada wiped out the tribble home world. By the end of the 23rd century they had been eradicated." 

You with me so far?

What if it's Captain Lorca that weaponises the Tribbles! They have a super fast ship, so they can zoom in and drop a Tribble in a grain silo and GTFO before anyone notices... That would mean that the Klingons will be distracted by, what Odo jokingly calls 'The Great Tribble Hunt' for the next 50ish years, and Star Fleet can win :D

So... What do you think? It *could* work, right...?

TREK FAM - NICHELLE NEEDS OUR HELP

Help Legendary Nichelle Nichols Recover from Tragic Elder Abuse Perpetrated by Gilbert Bell.

Nichelle has always been very independent, living life on her own terms. She has enjoyed a successful career in the public eye – acting on television and in films, performing live, and making personal appearances at fan conventions.

In 2010, she first encountered Gilbert Bell. He said he was a producer and that he was developing a feature film in which he hoped to have Nichelle co-star as well as be a 50-50 partner in the enterprise and its profits. Slowly, deliberately, and methodically, Bell insinuated himself into her life. He convinced her to allow him to move into the second house on her property adjacent to her residence as they worked on the project that never happened. Bell still lives in the house under a fraudulent lease essentially paying nothing while compelling Nichelle to pay all his utilities, and he continues to fight his removal.

In 2013, Nichelle was in a very weakened state following a hospitalization. Knowing that her immediate family members mostly lived outside of California, Bell took advantage of the situation to obtain her signature on medical and general Powers of Attorney. Over time, as he continued to gain influence, fees from her many personal appearances, and even her pension and Social Security, began to disappear.

He later deeded her personal residence into his name, which was the final act that triggered the Petition for Conservatorship eventually granted to her son, Kyle Johnson.

We believe that Bell has taken financial advantage of Nichelle to the tune of well over a million dollars, but we have only scratched the surface.
