What's your warp slogan?
What's your warp slogan?
In light of what other's have been memeing ... it made me think.
If you became captain of a ship, what would your warp slogan be?
I'm Indigenous Canadian and I speak my language Ojibway-Cree (a dialect in between Ojibway and Cree ... it's neither one or the other, can kind of understand one and the other but not really)
So my go to warp slogan would be ... Eh-koo Mash-cha!! ... basically a phrase that translates to just 'Ok then ... Let's go!'
BTW: ... that has got to be shittiest looking stereotypical Native person I've ever memed ... lol
And then you are going to add "we are far from the bones of my ancestors"?
A coochie moya.
Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
Jake: Hit it.
Yesssssss! I have the movie poster on my wall :)
Ludicrous Speed!
He's gone Argyle!
Spooooooooon!
It's warping time.
Lights go dim, laser lights start streaming in all directions, disco ball comes down from the ceiling .... Funky disco music starts playing ... Ship goes to warp five
Leeeeerrooooyy Jennnnkinnnssss!
Alright chums, let's do this!
Pitter patter, let's get at 'er
Captain Batel approves.
Ive been a car guy my whole life so Id have to have a few depending on what warp rating we were looking at.
"Helm, Warp 3, Just a nice drive in the country"
"Helm, Warp 5. Chirp the tyres"
"Helm! Warp 7. Dump the clutch!"
"Helm! WARP 9! SEND IT!"
Who gave Tom Paris a ship?
Engineering has been instructed to use 20th century automotive terms to convey messages
"Sir, we're out of gas"
"Sir, the carbs are dirty and we need to clean them"
"Sir, the throttle cables are stretched and we need to replace them"
"Sir, we gotta go to the garage for a new alternator"
"Sir, we need to refill the headlight fluid"
Alternately, shouting WARP ME in intense situations with an added slam to the arm rest.
For those that need the visual:
I always said “Hit it” but then Pike used it in strange worlds. Not sure now.
Still bugs me that, in the more recent movies, Pike said "Punch It". Would have been so easy to keep that for the show.
My warp command would be:
“Kick the tires and light the fires, warp 9 ensign”
No one seems to have a catch phrase for engaging the transporter. Mine would be:
“Smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast.”
What a guy!
Stoke me a clipper, or whatever
If I had any money I'd be sipping jippers on a beach somewhere.
Just nice and simple, ENGAGE!
Nothing happens ???
Sir, there's been an unexpected flash mob in engineering led by the Lt. Commander who proposed to one of his junior officers.
Cut life support to engineering, wait 10 minutes, send in the b team.
Let's outrun some photons.
It’s a little wordy, but this is my favourite one here.
Don't wait for my order, just go when we're ready
Since the laws of physics say nothing can travel faster than light,
"Ensign Smith, bend the rules!"
Rücksturz zur Erde. Schöne Grüße von der Orion!
Ein wahrer Klassiker!
Dazu die passende Musik einer Lieblingsband von mir:
Make us go.
Let's get frisky with physics.
Punch it ChewieI've thought about it and still have no clue lol
Let's fucking goooooooo, gamers!
Thursday is Pakled day:
"Make ship go!"
I've always been a fan of "Make it Go"
But I think I'd prefer what someone else here said "don't wait for my order, just move when we're ready."
Switch to secret hyperjets!
Well what do we've got on this thing? A Cuisinart?
Fire up the Quattro!
I'd put on my tiny shorts and stand in front of the view screen waving a chequered flag.
I don't know who you are ..... so this could either be very arousing, very strange or very disturbing
Por qué no los tres?
I think it's pronounced, " e-yeaw ".
The sound a wagoneer makes to get the horses going on a chuck wagon.
Fucking go already you fucking fuck!
Allons-Y!
Pull my finger
Dislocates your knuckle
WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!!!!!
Sir, we're being pursued by a Romulan vessel and need to go to warp eight!!
"This is the last time I use a Nausicaan helmsman!"
I know I'm beign a sourpuss, but I hate how much of a thing modern Trek has made this.
That's it. I'd say that every time.
I would install drag strip start light aka Christmas Tree on the bridge.
It would use the sounds from Atari 2600 Pole Position.
The countdown starts when I say
'Computer, assume the position.'
"Let's Boogie, my dudes"
"Let's mosey"
¡Ándele, pendejos!
All Spanish Engineering crew hyped up with double espressos and chocolate y churros: ¡Arriba, arriba! ¡Ándale, ándale! .... loud dance music and a football match playing in the background .... ¡Arriba, arriba! ¡Ándale, ándale!
Crank it to 11.
If I'm feeling jinky I might go with Let's get out of here Scoob.
Crank it to 11.
New ensign. Warp core explodes.
I wouldn't have one.
It honestly always seemed silly to me. Unless I told the helmsman to wait for some reason, they should just go as soon as they're ready. Why wait an extra moment just for me to say "go"?
That said, if it was some kind of required protocall, I'd pick a different silly term each time. Like "Banana Bread", "Pencil", or "Fuck off".
Helmsman muttering under their breath: ... why can't we have a fun captain
Everyone start making 'vroom-vroom' noises!
Make like a tree!
And get outta here
"Begin!"
Starboat go brrrrrrrr
Trevor, Corey, smokes! Let's go!
Lt. Commander Lahey in Engineering: HEY CAP! The warp thingy is on fire because Trevor turned on the engine ..... but don't worry I got Rand working on it ... we'll be ready in a jif .... now watch me do this wrap around ..... screech!! loud static noises!! glass breaking ... a loud thud of a man falling on the floor
Decent! 👀
"Let's throw some coal in the boiler"
"Slap her fanny and make her jump"
"Suck it, physics!"
Retreat!
Gaan met die banaan!
Let's eat some subspace
"Today, helm" would be fun every time there was someone new
Give me warp in the factor of… 5, 6, 7, 8
Chooch it!
As prospective captain of the USS Vancouver, "Pitter patter let's get at 'er".
Crank it
"FOR THE EMPEROR!"
The powerful quad quark drives rev to life. Time and space bend under the fibrillations of the time rift transfluxors. Your adrenaline, and stomach, reel with the hyperbolic hyperbole. and finally, finally .... nothing much happens. that must not have been a valid code, try again.
Eh, fuck it
Make spaceship go now.
"Kick it!"
"Grab your ankles!"
Helm to 108
Depending on the mood, I'd either go with
"Let's roll." "Warp us."
And for a quick command, there's the simple "Fire!"
Up and let's go.
Up and at them!
Highball!
Begin zoomies!
EFFF TEEE ELLL... FUCK THEM LAWS... of physics. but I whisper the Of Physics under my breath because I am the Captain in Shadow. I dunno I'm still workshopping.
Hoppa!
Eskitit!
“Git on, then!”
