/c/TenFoward: 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. 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.

He never even got a pretend promotion.
I got one of these once
We did performance reviews, my boss tells me I'm getting a promotion. "Wow, I didn't expect that, what's my new title?"
After some clarification I learned no title change, no role or responsibility change, but I got a standard of living top up.
The "promotion" meant I was meeting expectations and other people weren't getting standard of living raises anymore. They also cut a bunch of fringe benefits at the same time. Not a good sign.
Yeaaah...
Yeah my company does that. They've promised that we can get a standard of living adjustment but also at the same time they point blank refusing to give us it until December. Because they know that everyone will leave if they don't do that.
It's because he kept dying. Every time there was a new Harry, he had to start from the bottom again.
I guess that's kind of why Jadzia wasn't a captain or admiral. Each new host was forced to start all over (despite having all the knowledge/experience of previous hosts).
Your guess is absolutely spot on.
I don't think any of her previous hosts were in Starfleet.
During his depictions on the shows, at least, O'Brien was in the position of transporter chief, held the rank of chief petty officer, and later became chief of operations on DS9, eventually achieving the rank of senior chief petty officer.
In his original appearances on TNG he had lieutenant's pips, though, and was even referred to as such. At one point he had an ensign's pip instead. He was retconned into being an NCO because apparently the writers were really trying to make his first name functionally be "Chief" for some damn reason.
He had the wrong number of pips?
Can we take a moment to appreciate how genius the design of this comic is for how unbelievably easy it makes creating a new issue?
That's an episode of TNG where he got to leave to pick up after an anti grav dolly malfunctioned. I imagine it was quite a thrill.
Could be worse. They might have informally called him Boyo O'Brien.
