Oh Hell no, I don't push the button!
It said shifting into the Star Trek universe; it didn't say anything about time travel or ending up on a planet other than Earth.
Also thanks to Discovery's writers, in the further away future there's also a few centuries of dogshit living until they restore the Federation
I still do not recognise this shit as being part of star trek.
Oh no...
Yep, we are on track already to live in the star trek universe. We just have to live through WW3 first and it will be paradise.
World War III ends and Earth is left devastated, mostly because of nuclear warfare. Most of the major cities are left in ruins with few remaining governments and the death total reaching 600 million.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Star_Trek
Push the button. Only 600 million is a generous offer. This timeline will have many more.
The 40k timeline is basically just normal Earth for a few more centuries at least. The Emperor is just out there, somewhere, fucking with shit.
In fact, there would be a golden age on the horizon
Yeah ironically it would probably be better to be in the 40k universe if it was current day.
So I get transported to a futuristic utopia with Replicators and Holodecks, or I immediately get killed by a Space Marine or whatever.
Either way I don't have to live in this shithole any more. 🤷♂️ I'm pressing it.
With all the endless war the Imperium is so huge most of the humans probably never saw war and space marines are so rare it's almost impossible for you to be killed by them.
Even on "safe" planets, the average person is basically a slave doing endless, arduous labor with no concern for their lives or well-being, all under the merciless thumb of Imperial dogma. It's just a bad place to end up.
Wait... Are you talking about 40k or current day ?
Yes.
So like... No different than here.
Dude just send me back to the '90s pls.
As Agent Smith said of '90s New South Wales, "the Matrix was redesigned to this, the peak of your civilization".
You narrowly avoid Warhammer as you see you're on the Enterprise. You're called for a mission. Shortly before you're beamed down you see it. You look down.Your heart starts racing. You're wearing a red shirt.
Still better than dark eldar
When talking about the Star Trek universe, it's important to designate both what time and which one.
Before first contact in any universe? No.
Prime universe? Sure.
Kelvin? Sure, why not?
Mirror universe? No.
Totally-not-the-mirror-universe-from-Picard? Fuck no.
You get transported to the Trek prime universe. You come out at Wolf-359, and the Borg approach.
I, for one, welcome our new Borg overlords.
T.b.h, Star Trek universe outside of Federation is also mostly dogshit...
Flee to federation space, theres ships going everywhere, maybe you even get to be a a ~~Kajit or Argonian~~Caitan or Gorn.
But the button said nothing about transmogrification into other races...
And being a human among Gorn might really suck.
On a completely different note:
Being a (decent) human among Khajit might be fun! :-)
Pro.... you're transported to the Star Trek Universe. Con... it's still year 2025.
Yay, united Ireland!
Pro: You get transported in Star Trek
Con: …. It’s Discovery
Pro: You get transported to the Star Trek universe
Con: It isn't to ship, or a planet
You get transported into the Star Trek universe.
But
You will be transported by the Star Trek transporter.
Is that still you?
Either I'm in the star trek universe or I'm dead and some other smhuck has to live with my choices
I would give my best Matt Damon in Interstellar ".... that's the best chance I have had in years." And then smash my face jnto the button as hard as I could.
So I go to the 40k universe and all of the other beings are the size of my pinkie...
Which part of the star trek universe, because if it's being on voyager, fuck that, but if I get to hang out on Deep Space nine, then I'm so in, instantly befriending Quark.
You probably get trasported in the middle of the Bell riots or just before the bombs start dropping
So there's still a chance to get to ds9, I just gotta steal Jadzias badge, She will be right, she's resilient.
I mean
In the 40k universe I'd probably die very very fast unless I became a target to one of those BDSM Elves?
unless I became a target to one of those BDSM Elves?
Fuck. That.
I'd risk it. Either way I likely won't survive unless I spawn somewhere good.
The problem with the 40k universe is that "not surviving" doesn't necessarily mean an end to suffering.
Unless the button transports you 40000 years in the future, you'd basically be in modern day but less insane and the Emperor hasn't revealed himself yet. Easily the better option than being dropped into the Bell riots or something. The ST universe Earth is in a bad way compared to the 40k earth at the same time if memory serves.
That's a 90% chance I get to see a better future and a 10% I'm still stuck in hell. Yes please deliver button. I do not want to remain here to see what is coming either way. I will take those odds happily. So very very tired of living in America. I hope we are heading for Star Trek still but we have to go through World War 3 to get there. Might be Dune though.
I want to explore the cosmos.
I fkng want to explore the cosmos.
Let me explore the cosmos.
I'd take it if it was, "but there is a 10% chance you die."
As it is, no deal.
I mean, it's the 40k universe, there's a 100% you gonna die. So, really, it does fit your criteria... just in a roundabout way.
