/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Wait who was Scotty's nephew?
Peter, the ensign he was riding so hard.
TIL
The bloody Cadet Scotty brought to the bridge for some reason.
Engineers are just big cats. "Hey admiral, I caught this for you."
I had to look it up - apparently this guy's relation to Scotty is only explained in the director's cut of Wrath of Khan https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Peter_Preston
That certainly contributed to my not knowing it. Thank you very much.
I think any onscreen reference to him being the nephew were cut
It was eventually added back in for the Director’s Edition, though.
If memory serves, I'm pretty sure he just showed up for the movie.
Do not recall. thanks!
Here's a pic:
He was an engineer, then dies in an attack by Khan's ship, and Scotty carries his body up to the bridge for some reason. It wasn't a huge part.
Those were definitely some of the costumes of all time, weren't they?
Thank you very much for the info!
It makes things narratively simpler when the doomed disposable crewmembers have the bullseye right on them like that. 🎯
Federation warp cores of that weren’t exactly the safest things.
Lotsa radiation.
Like bananas.
