I love when I send my away team to Entertain Foreign Dignitaries on my alts (with mostly white doffs) and it ends in a DISASTER with the dignitaries and several crew members dead.
I always imagine calling the doffs into my Ready Room and completely freaking out, "Are you serious??? SERIOUSLY?! How did we go from diplomatic reception to interstellar cage match??? For Christ's sake, how does this even happen over deviled eggs and champagne??? What the hell happened in there??? Somebody better explain this right the hell now or I swear to God..."
Delta Rising is the best expansion ever and the players love it! No, seriously! ...Why are you laughing so hard?
I like sending my Shakespeare Hologram to write one of the commendation reports. I like to imagine the look on Admiral Quinn's face when he gets a report written entirely in Iambic pentameter.

* Execute Changeling Spy -- it's is frigging HILARIOUS when I send someone who couldn't possibly be a changeling... Exocomp,
...How so? An Exocomp could easily be a changeling. If a completely untrained, self-taught Odo could replicate a working combadge, I don't see why a well-trained Changeling couldn't be an Exocomp.
"Unusual" duty officer choices for assignements are always fun. Like sending holographic William Shakespeare to mine dilithium in unstable asteroid cluster, sending a Gorn to provide shore leave services to Dyson personnel or having a Horta participate in shipboard concert. Besides, I am kinda curious about what kind of music were they playing when a shipboard concert involving a Horta, a Tholian and a Liberated Borg ended as Critical Success.

No one really knows what it was, but everyone was amazed.

Yesterday I sent 2 commons to play a game of Fizzbin. One did not survive. Today I sent a Tholian to participate in the Beta Ursae Marathon. I would pay to watch that in person. The other day 2 hortas and a Liberated Borg critted a 3 day survival mission. I've sent Hortas on many combat missions and they always do very well. When do we get a Horta BOFF?
Oil, because Matter-Antimatter reactors haven't been invented yet... Please Hurry!

We got one for free a couple months back. Mine was Ensign Fizzles, but he killed like 4 klingons in a single mission and always manages to burrow out of the ground whenever I call him in for backup on missions, even when I'm on a spaceship or station. I figured that kind of professional competence and preparation for missions warranted a promotion, so now he's Lieutenant Commander Fizzles.
I'm surprised no body mentioned holographic doffs ending up in sick bay on a fail mission lol. I always picture McCoy in my head "IM A DOCTOR, NOT AN ENGINEER" :P
My favorite target for Doffing Silliness is the Vulcans.
I send them a Tactical Exocomp to learn unarmed martial combat.
I wonder how you can teach that to a lifeform without arms or legs? :rolleyes:
Or I send them an Orion female to learn mental discipline.
I think it's more the Vulcans who will need to practice aforementioned principle! :eek:
Ironically, she came back with a Critical.

I can't speak for alien species, but in humans, when a red blood cell is formed, it ejects it's DNA to become a red blood cell.
Plasma, which is the other main component of blood, is also DNA neutral.
There are some white blood cells (phagocytes and T-cells) and platelets which contain DNA, but they're low in concentration compared to the two primary components.
If I wanted to do a real DNA test, I'd pick some other body tissue other then blood, for concentration.
And now I'm picturing the Gorn and the Klingon handing you a kidney for DNA analysis.

my favorite way of picturing it is the old klingon making out with some young warrior and the gorn hiding behind the couch trying to reach over a jab the young warrior with a hypospray without being seen.

blood is used IRL for this purpose, so use of it in fiction seems logical.

I always like it when the EMH ends up in sickbay.
Also like executing my holograms for incompetence. Always picture my captain in full armor, disruptor in hand, walking past the hologram to a computer and hitting the delete key.

rather interesting, then, how blood is usually the primary source of DNA used in crime scene investigation - even moreso than hair or skin
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Passion and Serenity are one.

Your player lost after only two moves, something seemingly statistically impossible. The player was taken to the medical lab for psychological examination.

Hair or skin are poor sources of DNA, since they're technically dead tissue and therefore, the DNA strand will have degraded, making it hard to analyze.
A fresh strip of skin will be alive though, but you'd have to dig deep to tear that off.
And to obtain DNA from blood, you actually have to remove the red blood cells and the plasma so you're left with the parts that can be analyzed.
An alternative method I am aware of is to swab a Q-tip on the inside of the cheek, scrape off some cells and this is an easier way to obtain DNA.

Outcome: Disaster (1 lost, 1 injured)
I have no idea what happened here.
I always imagine calling the doffs into my Ready Room and completely freaking out, "Are you serious??? SERIOUSLY?! How did we go from diplomatic reception to interstellar cage match??? For Christ's sake, how does this even happen over deviled eggs and champagne??? What the hell happened in there??? Somebody better explain this right the hell now or I swear to God..."
(This was just a display issue with the rewards left over from a recruitment mission I had already cleared.)
I like it when the chef or the entertainer is the one killed. You know there's more to that story.
Somebody rolled a 1 on his Diplomacy check.

Of course they do -- haven't you ever watched this?

also dna gathering mission who do I send:
orion, nope
Caitian/Ferasan, try again
at least a Romulan right? nope
I send a gorn doctor and grey haired old male warrior, and they crit all the time.

still amusing, in fact I can't find a way it isn't a little amusing.
