One of the most egregious things about the ENT holodrama is that they practically omitted the large and rather colorful crew outside of the senior staff. So, here's some background on NX-01's lower deckers:

#MicroTreks:

Kelly Wright climbed up the ladder. As she approached a hatch, she noticed a sign: "warning: variable gravity zone." That was odd, but she was told to come here.

She opened up the hatch and was surprised by what she saw: one crewmember floating and one sitting on the ceiling.

One of my favorite things that I've done for my Star Trek fic is I've retconned MACO Amanda Cole as Palestinian as a giant "fuck you" for the actress, Zionist spokesperson Noa Tishby. Amanda wears a keffiyeh under her uniform and is proud of her heritage.

To be explicit, we executed a German U-Boat commander who said he had to sink lifesaving gear / “inadvertently” kill survivors because it might give away his position, thereby potentially resulting in the loss of his submarine.

We executed multiple members of that crew.
Heinz-Wilhelm Eck might have something to say about this one.

Melissa Rossi lay in her bunk, the side of her body still sore from the appendectomy just a few hours ago. She looked up from her padd to see Jane Taylor come in.

"We've turned around," Jane said.

"What?"

"The Old Man hasn't said why, but we're heading to Earth."

This is the greatest use of one minute of your time. Listen to it now.
Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Everyone, give

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

I think I figured out what Charlie Kirk's Hell is like:

He has to watch everything he worked for get undone.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Mamdani needs to bring these people to his next meeting at the White House. If he flips his hair, we might even get healthcare.

Actually, Howard, stealing the land of an occupied people does violate international law.

By the way, many of the people who greenlit the Holocaust were attorneys.

Two more explosions rocked engineering. Trip ran to Johann at the master system display. He could see fear taking hold in the man's eyes.

"Shut down antimatter flow! Reinforce the magnetic fields!"

Johann could only nod as he went back to work.

Oh no, we're not mad at Mamdani. He held his ground and Trump is fawning over him like the creepy girl smiling at Skye Riley.
You all eviscerated “centrist“ Dems who even smelled like they smiled when meeting with dude in the Oval…sitting across from him…

You threw away democracy cuz the Black AAPI candidate with boobies shared stage with Liz Cheney.

Your 🦄 is now standing next to fascism NOT looking “angry enough”

Authoritarian systems always require the willing participation of some of the oppressed in order to function.

The Andorian shuttle arrived in the launch bay. In the control room, Crewman Melissa Rossi patiently waited until the doors were closed and the bay depressurized.

"Maglock secured. Atmosphere stable. Welcome aboard, Commander Shran."

Correction: Gal Gadot is a terrible actress whose career has lasted this long because she drinks enough champagne to feel denial.
