I think this is one of those things that Kirk likely stripped from the log, since just showing up there clearly violated the prime directive. Without any record, there would be no way for the rest of Starfleet to know that planet was like that which would also reduce the likelihood of another ship visiting.

I definitely have the head canon that Kirk likely was especially bad about leaving stuff off the record, which explains the frequency of mostly trusted bridge officers going on away teams.

Anyway, the Enterprise crew wanting to gtfo as soon as possible is probably why we don't get more answer, and if there is no report to Starfleet, no one else would be compelled to investigate, which leaves us with as few answers as Starfleet.

I know this is almost purely speculation, but that's what I think went down.

Chopped up hot dogs in ramen, it'll keep you going longer. Change the ramen flavors when you can. And a pro tip; poach an egg in the ramen while it's boiling. It doesn't have to be perfect but adds a lot. I've been there many times, and I hope you get through whatever you're facing <3

Gundam scares me because I know I will love it, and there is such a huge amount of it that I may never crawl back out of that hole.

This is quality stuff.

This has been fantastic to watch happen. Thanks for putting this together, and thanks to everyone that contributed!

ytmnd is still around. I had a nostalgia-based aneurysm.
