TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name @lemmy.world ummthatguy @lemmy.world 1w ago

"I'm Chief Miles Edward O'Brien. And I'm very much alive, and intend to stay that way!"

Nothing like a family emergency to distract from existential dread, but the help of a my good friend made all the difference. Vague story short, everyone's fine and suffering minimized.

Friends are just the family you assimilate.

Now, back to the fight against fascism.

I'm glad you were able to help your friend. We all need to stick together right now.

That said, I'm not sure the womanizing creep of a doctor is the best person to have my back. It didn't seem to actually help O'Brien much overall. They had a lot of fun in the Holosuites while Keiko was being shitty though.
- Certainly not advocating Bashir's questionable choices and ethics, just the good parts where he was at O'Brien's side.
  
  Also, I was the O'Brien in the scenario that needed help.
  
  Bashir’s questionable choices
  
  Name one time he made a bad choice. /s
  
  Pic unrelated:
  
  I know you weren't. I just felt like bashing Bashir (no pun intended).
  
  Letting my anger out on fictional characters helps.
- Pick your favorite Bromance:
  O'Brien & Bashir
  Archer & Trip
  Sisko & Dax
  Kirk & Bones
  Kirk & Spock
  Jeordi & Data
  Data & Worf
  Bashir & Garack
  Jake & Nog
  
  Edit:
  Neelix & Tuvok
  Boimler & Rutherford
  
  I prefer Trip and Malcolm
  
  Bashir and Garak, definitely.
  
  Edit: Neelix & Tuvok Boimler & Rutherford
  
  Call them by their true names:
  
  Tuvix and Brutherford
  
  Boimler and Rutherford
  
  Neelix & Tuvok
  
  100 % Neelix & Tuvok (one of my fav VOY episodes ever - S6E6 Riddles)
  
  Kirk and Spock, no question.
  
  But also, what about Neelix and Tuvok?
Friends are just the family you assimilate

I love this line, I'm assimilating that into my vocabulary.

Paints the Borg in a much friendlier light too!
- To be its own post soon.
I'm glad everything is (mostly) okay with your friend.
- Other way around. The post was me being thankful for the assist.
  
  But yeah, family.
  
  Oh, I'm sorry! I hope everything is okay for you then! Thank Q for your friend!
I prefer Omet'iklan's speech:

I am First Omet'iklan, and I am dead. As of this moment, we are all dead. We go into battle to reclaim our lives. This we do gladly, for we are Jem'Hadar. Remember, victory is life.

It reflects how I feel dead inside while acknowledging that we can reclaim our lives by overcoming whatever bullshit the universe throws at us.
- And then you shoot the Weyoun.
