Is it wise for Starfleet to allow me to remain?

I mean I've obtained the rank of ambassador (before the easy handout doff way)

KILLED at least one hundred million klingons in the last four years, and a minimum of one billion life forms in said amount of time.

I'm a walking, free mass murderer.

and on that note, if starfleet wants me to continue murdering, I need a fresh three nacelle equiped Odyssey class Dreadnought.


and gods know how many lives I've sacrificed from launching fighters into warp core explosions.

    I'll let you in on a little secret.
    We are actually in the mirror universe and it is our jobs to be mass murdering psychopaths.
    If something is not broken, don't fix it, if it is broken, don't leave it broken.
    Oh Hell NO to ARC

    AH so that explains my lack of emotion for those I've killed.

    what's next? you're gonna tell me the other universe uses its fleets to EXPLORE!?!? HAHAHAHAA!!!

    It's all in the holodeck, so you haven't killed anything.

    I could say it's just a game, but I won't. But I could. But I won't.

    That's all? So your the Mary Poppins of the fleet.;)

    Starfleet only hires sociopathic mass murderers, and the more species genocide you commit, the faster you rise in rank.

    We are all monsters, live with it.;)

    Semi-crazy theory: you know that part in the Fed and KDF tutorials where you enter a holodeck for target practice? You never actually leave. Everything is just a simulation to train the cadets in multiple scenarios, and the Klingons and Federation actually resolved the war already without telling us (while also linking the simulations through subspace networks). Romulan players actually join in shortly after they reach the flotilla for the first time.

    ...that's so trippy, it's awesome.

    ...but, wait, does that mean that the destruction of Virinat was so traumatizing that the Romulans are stuck there to help cope?

    Or maybe it's all a Tal Shiar plot!

    Well, I have the 'scourge of starfleet' accolade, and I'm a member of Starfleet-killed thousands of members of my own faction! I also blew up Farek, told Mehra aka 'Princep Khan' that I thought he had some great ideas, and let the Romulans run off with Borg technology in 'The Return'. I regularly work to death prisoners and colonists smuggled (aka mailed) to me from my contacts (alts) among the kdf and Orion pirates by sending them to slave away on the fleet starbase. I feed Bridge officers who displease me feline supplement 74, and I'm piloting around a Tal Shiar destroyer with the IRW prefix-which combined with my preference for Romulan fashion (embassy clothing) and the large number of Romulans on my bridge crew, would seem to indicate that I'm some sort of defector to the Romulan Star Empire. Yet somehow I keep my rank and can walk around Starfleet academy without being immediately apprehended and thrown into facility 4028 for the rest of my life. :)

    Don't worry, your mass murderer of Klingons is in good company.

    Well judging by the TV show, Starfleet seems to be grooming dangerous Admirals at an alarming rate anyway, looks like your gonna be joining the club

    Just watch out for a do gooding Captain who's going to tell Command about your activities

    That's all?

    Most ships I've encountered with my Dyson or sci captain have been sucked into a gravity well and infinitely diminished. Not even the particles could be properly identified.

    I've turned killing into an art.

    And I'm only a REAR admiral.

    Yes we are all a bunch of genocidal lunatics. But if weren't doing this, what WOULD we be doing?

    I couldn't find a clip, but this quote from The Meaning Of Life pretty much sums it up for me:
    Here is better than home, eh, sir? I mean, at home if you kill someone they arrest you, here they'll give you a gun and show you what to do, sir. I mean, I killed fifteen of those buggers. Now, at home they'd hang me, here they'll give me a f***ing medal, sir!

    Besides, it was all self defence anyway. All. Of. It.

    Indeed, federation has thought it wise to make me Vice Admiral when I am a near Librated tactical borg drone, my entire crew are all Borg and I fly around in a ship that is essentially a Borges out warbird (assimilated battle cruiser) yet still they trust me implicitly not to "recruit" new crew the good old fashioned borg way

    when you think about it if you get knocked out in a mission you simply respawn, so you never actually die as such as that would mean game over - time to start over.

    whats to say the same is not true for enemy npc`s, so you never really kill them as such, you just knock them out to be respawned later on at some point.

    in fact who is to say that in an alternative reality somewhere there ar other players like us controlling the enemy and we are the ones who are thought to be the ncp`s ? playing computer games could be more profound then we realise who knows?

    in fact now I come to think of it there are at least 2 times in my life where I really should have died but didn't?
    makes you wonder if we are all real or just characters in a simulation that just think we are real - quick call the MIB, and where the heck is Neo when you want him......

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

    Sounds more like Valhalla than The Matrix, both sides forever locked in combat. All we really need is a magnificent feast hall.

    I'm sure all of the Orion ladies would be happy to play the part of Valkyries.

    If there's a bizarro me playing the enemy, then anti-I really sucks at video games.

    What was that phrase again.. kill 1 and it's a tragedy, kill a million and it's a statistic.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    The actual quote is one death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic.
    Joseph Stalin, 1941
    NMXb2ph.png
      "The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."
      -Lord Commander Solar Macharius

      Or how about:

      "When you kill a man, you are a murderer. If you kill many, you are a conqueror. Kill them all, and your a God."

      So does that mean we will never be Gods because we can't kill them all? They just keep respawning....lol
