/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.

More importantly, this splits the captain's chair in half!
The true captain will give up the chair rather than see it cut in half.
Salomon, is that you?
Can’t you just move it port-wards?
that would be an act or aggression and would only fuel more conflict.
the clear option here is to beam the chair into space with Westley Crusher in it.
Riker and Picard are both sitting in it uncomfortably at the same time.

Okay, I think I found it. I didn't find my copy, but this is the book I was thinking of.
I think the sharing-bridge thing actually comes from the first book in the series, and they start this book sharing, then find the other ship in the course of this novel.
You know, I'm pretty sure I have a spoof novel where the TOS and TNG crews end up sharing a ship, and this exact thing happens. I'll try to remember to look for it tomorrow.
They’re both sitting in it
