You wouldn't happen to have anyone that looks like her aboard would you? *she gestures at Valendria* We're having a bit of a mystery, and well I figured if we want someone knowledgeable about the occult, probably first place to look is Task Force Jade.

Reashe: it might be better to go along with us, you're not exactly in your galaxy or universe anymore, and neither are we but atleast we know a bit about the area.

Seventeen: While latinum is a currency for the most part our society, Romulan Republic, Federation, or Klingon Empire don't function based off greed. The Federation might be considered Democratic communists, though there is still a sort of capitalist economy, it doesn't function like what you know, since just about anything anyone could need can be replicated. I think the term post scarcity applies. There aren't many corporations in existence, most manufacturers are tied to the governments in some way, since we're so unified.
kenzie: in case you didnt notice we have a ship of our own. and im not the leadership by any means theres already civilian and military officials that run everything im just a soldier that follows orders nothing more. sure right now theres barely a hundred of us here but there are a number of under ground bunkers that're still intact, once they're found our numbers could be well into the thousands. i know i dont speak for everyone here but im sure you'll be hard pressed to find anyone that would want to leave, we've fought and died for this new home and sure its not much now but we can make it something.
mira: good they're not coming so lets not bother and get off this damn planet.
kenzie: dont let the door hit you on the way out jack*ss.
mira: it'd be more likely to hit you ya f'ckin giant
*kenzie looks like she was about to throw a punch at mira when a portal opens up between them, kara steps out looking rather annoyed.*
kara: will you two quit yer sh*t already! im not about to let two different versions of me duke it out and possibly destroy the damn planet!
mira: she started it!
kenzie: *stands there confused* w-what....

valendria: *her ears twitch as she looks around.* wait can she see me?...

Which means there's no time to waste. Someday the world will no longer need us. No need for the gun, or the hand to pull the trigger." -Punished Snake
kara: why is it that even other versions of me try to kill each other. *she lets out a heavy sigh.*now then, im in the market for some souls so if you two dont quit it ill just take yours and be done with it, understood?
kenzie: ......what! *she sounds ever more confused,*
mira: y-you wouldnt....
kara: hohoho i totally would kiddo. ive had an awful f*cking.... i dont really know how long its been, day i guess so dont f*ckin test me! now you are ganna learn to like each other got it?
kenzie: im so confused.....

kara: then you can help keep them from trying to kill each other. now ive got things to do and you two know whats at stake so just be nice got it! good. *she disappears into the portal she came in.*
kenzie: did she have cat ears... and a tail?.... do i have cat ears and a tail? why is she so small! and why are you so small if we're all versions of one another!.... d-do you have cat ears too?
mira: to answer your questions, yes, maybe, not every universal version of us is the same size and you're a super soldier thats why we're so small and finally yes with a matching tail, see? *she pulls off her helmet, flicking her ears as she shakes her head.* i wonder if all of us have this.... *she walks behind kenzie jumping up and pinching the back of her neck.*
kenzie: what are you doing?! *mira walks back next to freeman.*
mira: take your helmet off.
kenzie: *takes off her helmet and pats the top of her head almost gasping excitedly as she feels a par of felinoid ears matching her blonde hair color.* i do have them!
mira: wonder where the tail is.
kenzie: what do you mean? this is hermetically sealed armor theres no way a tail would poke out.... oh i feel something fuzzy between my crotch and legs..... mjolnir armor was not designed for this...... *she says awkwardly shifting herself*
mira: there it is. *lets out a heavy sigh putting her helmet back on.* alright then i guess no sense in delaying it cuz it looks like you'll be coming with us......

Jadzia: People are still free to choose their own path. Its just that financial gain isn't a driving factor anymore. Economic value is still a thing, especially in trade. And many people still make a living in trade.
Also consider the fact that we may be an alternate universe from the one you know. Our history may not line up with yours.
Earth had three world wars, and in 2063, Cochrane invented the Warp Drive in Bozeman, Montana, which attracted the attention of the Vulcans, which ultimately lead to Humanity venturing into space. Humans are one of the four founding members of the Federation. The President's office is based in Paris, France. The main campus of Starfleet Academy is in San Fransisco, pretty close to Starfleet Headquarters.
The reason Latinum is used as a currency is because it cannot be replicated. Gold, Platinum... all the old Earth mediums of wealth and currency were made obsolete with Replicators. Being able to convert energy into matter... you could make clothes and food without needing to exchange something of value. And equipment that required precious metals... easily done at no cost because we can make the elements needed for it.
If I am interpreting your reactions correctly, you are more concerned about something similar to I believe an old Earth government state known as the Soviet Union. The Federation is nothing like that at all. I admit my knowledge of that time period is somewhat lacking...

(i just wanna take a moment to point out that the sierra madre vending machines are literally primitive replicators, and between those, robert house and fusion cores, if the great war had held off even a few months, humanity in fallout may very well have spread far across the galaxy by 2287 just like they did in star trek)

Seventeen: Thats why I said *Democratic Communism* Communism is a form of government. The federation still elects their officials, they still have all their freedoms. They still have some form of capitalism, but they provide everything their citizens need to survive and ensure that everyone is equal. Unless you're romulan, then you get side eyes every once in a while cause of the empire.

Kaden: We would have been more ready if they came centuries down the line instead of decades ago, nice to see the blame is all on the godlike being when its starfleet's fault he was encountered too! Got nothing to say about the Iconians, or the Undine, or the Elachi, or the Klingons, or the Romulans... You know what lets throw the Dominion, those asinine terrans i have been up to my neck with in their bodies with, the crazy time traveling Na'kuhl. Everyone else would have been better off if you all stayed home. You don't need to be the 'village idiot' you think me, or a genius to see it. and don't get me started on the ban of synthetics or augments.... Hell a synthetic ban includes augments but you banned augments loooong before synthetics were a thing.
Reina: Most Galactic powers ban augments, I don't understand your point there, that's not a federation specific thing. We had nothing to do with the Iconians... in fact it was your people that caused that whole mess, if anyone could be blamed, not the federation, not the republic, not the klingons, but Empress Sela because of her grudge. The Dominion would have attacked us anyway, the wormhole was in Cardassian territory and you can't possibly believe that the Cardassian's wouldn't have caused some sort of problems. The Elachi were working for the Iconians, so again, your people's fault. I'm not really familiar with the Na'kuhl personally so I can't say much about that... and the Terrans would have been a problem even without the federation.
(Well most people seem to have heard of Q before, whether they believe he is real or not is the question. So some information on him has leaked here and there if it isn't public knowledge)
(Also yeah, at the end of the day the iconian problem is 100% on Sela, had she not tried to kill them while they fled the Iconians probably would have been able to remain a peaceful species)
Kaden: My people? I put the blame on starfleet. not on an entire race of people. I don't blame every day people just trying to lead their lives. They aren't even MY people. I'm half human. Sela is much to blame as all of you. as for augments. the Romulan star empire did not ban them and neither has the republic. the klingons don't. the only reason the federation has is because humanity screwed up once so nobody ever gets a chance to do it better ever. Denobulans had it fine long before humanity screwed it up, but that doesn't matter. because you're all scared. You're no better than anyone else yet you all act like you are. but speaking of sela, if you really want to go that route. Your starfleet let billions of 'my people' die because they were scared. sela would have never had that grudge if starfleet didn't leave romulus to its fate. You go out there and say you have these beliefs but stab people in the back in addition to putting them in danger.

(Shadow the Synthetic ban cannot be cannon to the thread or the game, because the synthetic ban happened right after the attack on Mars, in 2385. DATA THE SYNTH became captain of the Enterprise E in 2386 in STO timeline. Data would never have been allowed to captain THE iconic Federation vessel if his kind was banned, not only because synths were banned But because Data is still missing or dead in picard)

(The attack on Mars is part of the game, but virtually nothing in the game deals with the ramifications of it. And while Data isn't directly part of the game, the lead up to the game still occassionally has effects, like one of the reasons Nog became a captain was because of his time as Chief Engineer for Data)
(They can't refuse to put picard content in the game. But they also said that they wouldn't break the game to try and have it make sense around picard, because there is potential for picard to completely nullify the entire story story)

(What are you going on about? The federation has pretty good relationships with the Gorn, you know, the Actual lizards, lizard people. Which is partially because of Kirk's refusal to kill one of them in cold blood, even when a seemingly god like being demanded him to. While they never outright joined the federation, there's hints in the story leading up to 2409 that they were close allies, and its one of the reasons the Federation got so angy at the klingons conquering them, leading into their war. And of course it can still happen. Your seemingly omnipotent character could've been talking about a parallel universe that follows the shows 100% to the letter, because lets face it, Discovery Season 3 is butchering temporal stuff, and Picard Season 2 is probably going to kill even more of STO's lore.)
(The federation isn't racist because some a**hat writer with no understanding of star trek decided to write "Oh herp a derp maybe the federation is just as TRIBBLE as the modern day and we're going to shove our modern politics into it, overriding the preexisting story)

Reashe: Can someone explain to me whats going on? *she looks completely lost*

Seventeen: Thats why I said *Democratic Communism* Communism is a form of government. The federation still elects their officials, they still have all their freedoms. They still have some form of capitalism, but they provide everything their citizens need to survive and ensure that everyone is equal. Unless you're romulan, then you get side eyes every once in a while cause of the empire.

Donovan:..... okay that was a lot to take in, and I sure as hell am not drunk enough to comprehend it. Lets remedy that first. Then take it slower, okay? Cause you are losing me, and losing me fast. You're mentioning things I know nothing about.

Briana: does that make sense mom?.... mom?

Freeman: *looks at mira* sorry if you're mad at me, but trying this jedi thing is gonna lead down this road eventually.

Other Universe Nick: well who's to say I can't help it? If I judged you for it, you'd talk about your hearing being enhanced.

I think you're confusing Augments with Synths. Synths are androids. Augments are genetically engineered lifeforms)
Ethan: I kind of understood most of their talk about governments and economics. Just not the history stuff.
Seventeen: Listen, it will be faster to go to a bar on my ship than to wait to get to K13 if you're that desperate for a drink. *She taps something in on her wrist communicator, letting the first officers know to direct the ship back to the station*
and we're not ignoring ANY part of star trek - period
it is NOT up for debate)

(They can't refuse to put picard content in the game. But they also said that they wouldn't break the game to try and have it make sense around picard, because there is potential for picard to completely nullify the entire story story)

Donovan: whatever gets me drunk quicker. *follows. His statement sounding odd to anyone that would know nick since nick cannot become intoxicated*
and about the federation being racist...they've ALWAYS been racist, no matter how much they tried to hide it - azetbur was spot-on when she called the federation a 'glorified homo-sapiens only club')
matt: why french? *as he nudges his horse in the direction of the nearest town*

(What are you going on about? The federation has pretty good relationships with the Gorn, you know, the Actual lizards, lizard people. Which is partially because of Kirk's refusal to kill one of them in cold blood, even when a seemingly god like being demanded him to. While they never outright joined the federation, there's hints in the story leading up to 2409 that they were close allies, and its one of the reasons the Federation got so angy at the klingons conquering them, leading into their war. And of course it can still happen. Your seemingly omnipotent character could've been talking about a parallel universe that follows the shows 100% to the letter, because lets face it, Discovery Season 3 is butchering temporal stuff, and Picard Season 2 is probably going to kill even more of STO's lore.)
(The federation isn't racist because some a**hat writer with no understanding of star trek decided to write "Oh herp a derp maybe the federation is just as TRIBBLE as the modern day and we're going to shove our modern politics into it, overriding the preexisting story)
