alex: does abeir-toril have trenchcoats? i don't recall seeing any on my prior visits, but maybe you know otherwise, and that's what i like to wear for combat (something like this, or similar )
except commodore never came up in writing or dialogue in TNG - those admirals with no pips or one pip were both referred to as ADMIRAL in dialogue, both scripted and onscreen, not commodore - and the closest RL admiral ranks that fits the no-pip and one-pip starfleet admiral ranks are...surprise, surprise - rear admiral,…
i'd like to know what episode that happened in so i can check...because ross has been in well over a dozen episodes, and i'm not manually checking each one of them
alex: hi...i get wizard - but i'm not wearing robes *he ponders for a moment* actually, i get sorcerer - i don't like how wizards work in D&D (i really don't)
but no one ever said 'rear admiral' in any star trek series or movie, either...or vice or fleet admiral, for that matter - we only ever heard admiral, no matter how many pips they were wearing like vice admiral nakamura from the measure of a man - a vice admiral, only ever referred to as admiral in dialogue or vice admiral…
well, this time wasn't their fault - apparently the stream kept crashing on them and the little bit they managed to get out was ALL they could get out
(well, why didn't you let him go in the prior post? she said she couldn't find anything anyway) *alex hops off the biobed* i'll let my natural healing take care of it *and he dashes out of sickbay before kayla can respond*
(well, there's anecdotal evidence edward larkin could've been eaten by the swarm that engulfed him, since he is listed as deceased...but other things could have killed him too, i suppose)
oh nice so...monocles when? we got tophats for gorn (finally) but we can't complete the look without the monocle also, i will laugh if someone creates a sir topham hatt character after this hits the store later today
(i don't see why she shouldn't know plenty about werewolf anatomy - not in that way, though she should know plenty about it in THAT way too - by now; the only major differences between them and humans at the baseline is higher temperature - weres average 101.3 compared to human 98.6 - resting heartrate - 90bpm compared to…
they do; i actually decided to look it up on wikipedia right after i typed that, and the MC and airforce both use army ranks (or at least the majority of ranks - there might be some difference, but none i saw at the quick glance i took), the coast guard uses navy ranks and the space force uses...no fluffing clue - i guess…
well, if divisions in starfleet are analogous to service branches in militaries (which it probably isn't), i don't know about other countries, but i do know that in the US, the army branch has the rank of general, which i KNOW the navy doesn't, and possibly the other branches don't either (i don't know enough about the air…
(well, who else would actually want to play a fantasy game in a world of starships and energy weapons? the fact you managed to get a vulcan roped into it is odd enough, but i'll put that down to her not being a full vulcan anymore okay,t he enterprise senior staff did a robin hood thing, but that's low fantasy...like,…
writers absolutely DO set ship sizes, every time they write out a ship's length, width or height, whether in exact numbers down to the millimeter or in general sizes like calling a star destroyer a mile long
alex: i imagine you had it worse, though - not only did you have to put up with the discomfort of the birth, but the conception too...we're not really 'sized' for humans, and lubrication can only do so much *he says before sipping his cup of tea, pinkie fully extended in that proper british way*
alex: yeah, join the club...*he mutters, going back to his breakfast monstrosity* and the next time i see onyx, i'm going to ram my foot under his tail
alex: that and she didn't CHOOSE to be infected - i read the report on that very carefully, and it was done without her knowledge by one of baal's scientists, correct?
