/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.

Everyone walks away before I could tell them that the woman wanted to travel with her friends on flight 175 and that their brother/uncle had by coincidence attended a meeting at the WTC that morning despite being a random Irish guy and not a New Yorker and he'd been helping a woman who had been severely burned by jet fuel find an ambulance when the plane his sister and niece were aboard slammed into the other tower right above them.
Guess I'm not good at parties.
Holy shit. Please tell me you made that up. That shit is some anime level of fate
Really happened. They were from a fairly well off Irish family and the sister got into selling makeup or something to wealthy families in New England. The brother got into software in the 1990's and did pretty well for himself because of that. The sister wanted to take a vacation with her daughter to Disneyland and they invited one of the friends she'd made over the years, who I suspect was also wealthy enough to go on an impromptu vacation.
The friend of the family couldn't get a flight on 175 (not sure why not but likely because she was using frequent flyer miles and didn't have them for United but could use them on American Airlines--this part is my speculation but I wonder why she couldn't get a seat on 175 cause there were plenty available so I assume it was something like what I theorized.) Since both non-stop flights left at about the same time they'd arrive in Cali at the same time so they were going to meet up at the airport. There was little chance of either plane running into weather delays or anything on account of the fantastic weather across nearly the entire USA that morning.
The brother had a meeting that morning which got changed from some random hotel to the WTC. Since he was in the software business it's not surprisingly it got changed to a high end venue in New York. I mean a finance software conference was taking place that morning on 106 so such things were common. As he told it he was reciting the Lords prayer with the woman who was burned right as the plane carrying his sister and niece hit.
Sadly, the burn victim died something like 30 days later from sever burns all over her body. Definitely one of the stranger tales from that day but not to break the ice with during a party.
