When I was a kid, my parents bought me Starfleet Command II in a big box from Sam’s Club.

The game had a bad CD key and was unplayable. The dev had just gone defunct, so there was nobody to reach out to for support.

However, that game had a standalone expansion, so we ended up playing that instead.

A game company’s crappy anti-piracy measure drove me to play the pirate game instead.

Snow-White logs

Scene captain's ready room

Snow White: I'm captain Snow-White Nolan Blanchard Charming Mills of the USS Fairytale and am reporting that my crew and I found a new quadrant or sector that has been uncharted. May I name it the Zeta sector?

Starfleet command: A new quadrant, that is an admirable discovery. You are Captain of the Fairytale and have the authority to name the newly discovered sector. I hereby decree that this sector shall be known as the Zeta Sector.

Snow White: this sector seems to be home of dangerous races. Our first encounter was with a planet that had lizard-like people sort of like the Goarn but they referred to themselves as Frost demons and claimed that they rule the entire universe under the command of some guy named Chill.

Starfleet command: This sounds dangerous, how did the encounter with the "Frost Demons" unfold?

Snow: ( in a depressing tone): Not very well. I've lost many good crewmen against them. We needed fuel. We detected a planet, that we thought could be friendly or we assumed so but we were ambushed by the Frost demons. They seemed to only want to fight and control us. our options were to retreat but they followed however it seems that they can breathe in space.

Starfleet command: I am sorry to hear about your tragic losses. This is worrisome. A species that desires only to fight is one that needs to be handled carefully. It is possible that they might have been provoked? Are there any reports of their behavior towards other species that were peaceful?

Snow White: I don't believe so I've heard rumors that the Frost demons, sent soldiers or warriors to planets in order to kill the population and then sell the planet. I've also heard that they can use energy beams from their body.

Starfleet command: This is deeply concerning. This information needs to be presented to the Federation council immediately so that a proper response can be prepared. It is of utmost importance that you and your ship report back to the next Federation starbase. Have you had any other encounters with these beings? Any luck with acquiring fuel?

Snow White: as for fuel we are running on empty we can't make it Beck without assistance. No, we've barely managed to escape our first encounter my ship is heavily damaged and my crew is working around the cloak to try and fix it.

Star fleet command: It appears you are in a dire situation, it is very unlikely that you can escape another encounter with the Frost Demons in your current weakened state and it is also unlikely that you can repair the ship quickly enough to acquire fuel and avoid running out. Do you have any other options?

Snow White: you're a story teller? Well I don't know what to do if I knew of any other options I wouldn't be looking for assistance but thank you for your time. I'll be in the med bay.

End of act one

Act 2 scene Th USS Fairytale madbaby

Snow White: DR Belle how are our crew is Commander David Nolan Charming My husband a survivor? and what of my daughter ensign Emma Ruth Swan Nolan Blanchard Charming White Mills?

Belle: Captain am doing the best I can but I have too many patients and your husband and daughter are going to survive but it's going to take some time.

Snow White: Oh I know you are but it's harder when it's your family.

Belle: I understand captain Ill do my best to save everybody onboard I have my medical team working around the clock.

end of act 2

Act three scene the bridge of the USS Fairytale

Snow-white: Commander Cinderella hail Admiral Regina

Commander Cinderella: Understood.

Commander Cinderella is hailing Admiral Regina .

Please wait for a reply.

Captain Snow White explains her situation to Starfleet hoping that admiral Regina Mills ( her mom)could send some help and fuel.

The transmission is successful but it takes a while until there is a reply.

Admiral Regina Mills' face appears on the monitor.

Snow: Admiral Regina Mills please mom can you help me i am desperate.

Admiral Mills - My dear Snow White, I am sorry to hear that you are in a dire situation. What is it that you need assistance with?

Snow: Fixing the ship acquiring fuel and understanding this new violent race. and extra medical help for Dr. Belle.

Admiral Mills - I have ordered the USS Whitehorse, a medical and rescue vessel, to rendezvous with the Fairytale in 72 hours. I am sorry that it is not sooner as it is a lengthy journey. As for the new race, I will have our intelligence officers study the information you have provided and advise how to proceed.

I am in a meeting with the Federation Council now but I will do everything I can to help get you out of this situation.

Snow White: mother thank you. Oh one more thing our weapons don't seem to have any affect on these creatures they are capable of Mass destruction with just a finger and they can breathe in space.

AdmiralMills - It might be wise to hold onto your weapons and find out if they are open to a peaceful negotiation. In the meantime, the Federation Council and I will discuss how to proceed with caution and to avoid further escalation. I do not want to lose you and your crew.

Snow: they are not peaceful at all they seem to relish in mass destruction and seem to have no remorse for their actions.

AdmiralMills - I understand. We will discuss the matter further and take the necessary measures. I also recommend keeping your weapons ready as a deterrent. I know that you will be able to come up with a clever strategy, I have faith in your abilities as a captain and a leader. I believe in you, take care.

And with that she ends the transmission.

End of Act three and scene

I’m finding Seven’s fast track to Commander and Captain really interesting because in season 2 Seven accepted the field commission of Captain, this of course doesn’t mean its going to stick because Starfleet Command has to confirm this commission.

From what I’ve read of field or battle commissions, when someone is elevated to an officer they have to complete the training, and from what we know from Seven, Janeway and Picard seemed to have double teamed Seven into staying and maybe even complete the Officer’s training.

Starfleet Command isn’t going to give Seven of Nine, a former Borg, her own Command at first go just because she had a field commission to Captain. Janeway seems to have climbed the ladder enough to push for Seven without having to threaten resignation and with Picard’s backing this assured that Seven being in Starfleet comes through.

And I feel Janeway and Picard argued her experience serving in Voyager and years in Fenris Rangers can be credited in Starfleet.

So Starfleet agrees but their compromise is that she only be a Commander.

And Seven becoming XO of Titan is tantamount to a Shakedown cruise.

a shakedown cruise, the new ship is put through simulations of real life working conditions. This allows the crew the opportunity to get familiar with the ship and to ensure the vessel is fully functional. (source)

Given this situation, I can see why Seven was under Shaw’s command. I fully believe that Captain Liam Shaw has a reputation for being a by the book hard ass.

I really find Shaw and Seven’s command dynamic interesting. He was a dick to her and his treatment of Seven reflected on him poorly.

But also when they work well together, they do work well, but that’s not enough. Shaw had too many issues connected with the Wolf 359 Borg incident and he can’t see the forest for the trees when it comes to Seven. And Picard, especially.

I do think he thought he was ready to have a former Borg but the actuality of having a Borg with a Borg designation around is a lot more triggering. (Again, not excusing because there was no call for that at all).

I don’t know how much Seven is aware, but I think she does know a bit about Shaw’s background with the Borg. Jeri Ryan mentioned how guilt is also why Seven is tolerating Shaw. She still pushes back.

Titan-A is an engineer’s ship through and through, Geordi La Forge even mentioned how it was a marvel of engineering and maintenance.

I do think one of the things Shaw looked forward to about Seven being on his Command team is Seven’s knack for engineering and efficiency.

And in that department they worked like clockwork.

I bet Seven even brought back the Efficiency reports she constantly did in Voyager that annoyed a lot of the senior staff on Voyager.

I fully believe Seven had to be weaned off from popping into places she didn’t need to be like B’Elanna had to do every time Seven appeared in a Jeffries tube or siphoned power without B’Elanna’s permission.

(LOL. Again, I feel for Seven’s poor Chief Engineer because now that Seven is Captain no one is going to tell her ‘no’ if they found her in a Jeffries tube tinkering with stuff. Except for Raffi. The Chief Engineer will constantly dog Raffi’s steps complaining about the Captain being in the way again.)

TLDR

Shaw recommending Seven for Captaincy isn’t really a surprise for Starfleet Command because this was exactly why they assigned Seven to serve under Shaw. Shaw and the Titan is her Shakedown cruise.

Starfleet specifically told Shaw (and not Seven) that this they were evaluating Seven for Command. I feel like Janeway knew and Picard suspected and couldn’t say anything but Picard looked damned proud of Seven in 3x01 when she supervised leading Titan out of Spacedock.

The same shot was also used in TNG's Conspiracy

I'm making a Starfleet Headquarters collection post. I took a screenshot from The Voyage Home and I know they were there in the Voyager episode Non Sequitur so I pulled it up on Trekcore.

Judge my surprise when I realized it's the same photo. Voyager just reused the shots from The Voyage Home.

It makes sense that Voyager didn't want to make this animation for a one off episode but still. It's so funny that they took footage from a 9 year old movie instead of just using a different type of shot here.

I also want you to imagine my face when I pulled up these images after one another and was like "Wait a minute...".

People usually put T'Pring as a science officer in a Starfleet AU but the all-win strategy she employed in Amok Time is amazing, praised as 'flawlessly logical', and she thought up most of it on the fly - that screams tactical to me. She's not a fighter though, so Stonn usually accompanies her. Stonn is there as the only redshirt who never gets killed [bc he listens to T'Pring more than he listens to his commander, gets in trouble bc of it.] [Patreon | Commissions]

Like look lol

Love how concerned and thoughtful he was. Just like old times 🥹.I literally love you so much prodigy chakotay. I wanna strangle him

It reminds me of this little doodle I made of a younger version of him lol

[louthestarspeaker]

You guys!! Dal's captain arc in season two is literally him just learning to trust that people will watch out for him and care about him and the institutions that are supposed to keep him safe and his crew safe and actually have his best interest at heart, I'm not the only one who thinks this right?? <- girl who thought too hard about Dal R'El and now needs to write an essay and maybe cry a little about him

The Defiant is great because it is so obviously a bunch of people who only vaguely understand the concept of a war building a warship.

Romulans and Klingons and the Dominion: If I don't perfect this project to improve our weapons after years of research I'll be killed.
