Love it! My initial idea was to use the pre-exploded headshot, before I remembered Kes.
There's a lot of potential here...
Well, don't just dump them all here. Get out there, soldier!
Hey at least they got laid
What is this from?
The image that has been burned into my brain since I was 5
Well, maybe if you'd stop scratching at it, it wouldn't look so bad.
That’s what Kirk gets for being a grup.
The thought just occurred to me: they talk about it being a big deal that the Ocampa only live nine years and... We assume they mean nine Earth years. But they never actually establish how long an Ocampan year is. If they have an orbital period similar to, say, Saturn, she could easily outlive Tuvok while lamenting that she "only" gets nine years.
Didn't they also establish that Ocampan women only go into heat once in their lives, and have human size litters aka usually just one child, meaning they would be at Chinese levels of birth deficit?
Yes. Kes was artificially put into it and made a point of saying it happens only once.
As to them having a tendency to single births, I don't remember. There do seem to be few enough of them to indicate a population in decline, but...
If each couple can only have one child ever, their population would halve every generation, wouldn't it? That's... Isn't that wildly unsustainable, biologically?
I suppose they could represent an evolutionary dead-end...
That's only if you assume male-to-female ratio of 1:1 if they had, say, 10 women for each man, they would only lose 10% of their population per generation. However, if roughly one in ten pregnancies were with twins, the population would be stable.
With the known population, they wouldn’t even last a century.
This is a big part of why I love this community.
Pretty sure the universal translator translates units too. Many times aliens (from outside the Alpha quadrant) using "parsecs" for instance. Wouldn't really make sense otherwise, since the translations of those would be often pointless
I feel like the mirror universe is likely the place full of drugs
Nice. Just looking at the main page now:
Since it's the mirror universe it should say Ketracel White: At least once
Dude, the Ocampa kinda give me the creeps. It feels like the polar opposite of “little girl that’s actually a million years old so it’s totally legal” that anime often pushes.
Except in this case, it’s someone that looks like a fully grown adult but is only 2 years old. And then of course we have multiple crew members interested in her.
Quick somebody add the sticker
NEW MEME DROPPED BOYS
Given how much oddball shit happens in Trek, it should be a pretty flexible idea.
Crusher got high and fucked a ghost.
I wish to breed with you.
He was a very handsome ghost!
Somebody put it on Jennifer Lien's mugshot.
Too real.. poor Jennifer.
