siderealtime magicom ancillaries - I didn't do private starters, but there are name mentions.

omnomivore - The tribble is happening. I think it'll go with the not genetically engineered version. If later I want to do a tribble plot in the future, I'm sure something on the Barge can change it.

BBitsaboi - Did we decide we are or we are not doing city adventures together?

tiger_eyes mwingzero maruah theSSjuli - Biiiike! (And tribble!)

And... what's Aisu's Plurk again? I know I have them on my list, but I can't remember which one is Nanaki-mun's....

aisuyoukai

Lol excellent. Tendi will still try to convince Wu Xin to her because otherwise she will eventually pop out babies, but waaaaay slower than the modified ones.

omnomivore: Are all tribbles female?

Yep. Hence the born pregnant thing

Though she won't argue if Wu Xin wants to call it by he/him pronouns or anything lol

ancillaries: thanks!!

omnomivore: I think it's an It. But slow baby tribbles aren't bad! As long as they're slow.

And I'm thinking if tribbles do reproduce.... The cats would go nuts.

Tendi and Bashir just side-eying it going "hmmmmmm"

"this is probably fine."

Wu Xin is very happy with his little fluff ball. Don't take it away.

She doesn't want to take it away! Just. Sterilize it. For safety.

.... How cruel, to castrate such a small creature and make it an eunuch.

Tribbles! Yazoo wants twelve.

tiger_eyes: this one can't reproduce crazily

That's okay, he loves them anyway.

But all the tribbles! Can't have too many.

Nope. Never. He has two arms. He can carry a lot!

we can, but I am going to be slow. tbh I've considered popping a hiatus rather than autopilot

BBitsaboi: I don't mind slow. Just need to decide the general gist of what happens while they're together.

tiger_eyes: I'll reply after work tomorrow. But unlikely Yazoo will find the trouble family through Wu Xin.

... Tribble.

I figure Hanna would take him to try some New York food. some pizza, a deli. and then they get lost and have to ask someone for help cause the city is huge xD

And then Malcolm and Will come around a corner like YOU TWO.

magicom: hi. Um. Did you two have fun, warden and Warden husband? Can we hitch a ride back?

tribble

kadaj wants ten too

BBitsaboi: That is perfect. As long they have vegetarian options!

u can always hitch a ride with them!

I will also seriously consider a future tribble plot. But I have no idea how to resolve such a loveable disaster.

that's fine, Tendi and Bashir can come up with ways

I believe they both have tribble experience

please do this plot it will be amazing XD

plus then Cloud can get a tribble too

for his and Sephiroth's weird little zoo

coeurl

also Cloud is willing to tank the disapproval from various wardens/dads/whatever for the teenagers XD

re: bikes

So many people want tribbles! Will need a solution figured out before I can put up a player plot though.

Lol, but I wanted to give Wu Xin a unique pet. Instead the whole ship will have one!

Technically the only on-screen tribble in Lower Decks was a one-off gag of one in a cage that Mariner claimed to have for "medicinal purposes", but I wouldn't be surprised if that turned into a whole Thing off-screen lol.

mariner pls XD

I mean, the solution is "Tendi and Bashir sterilize the tribbles" they just need people to round them all up for them XD

Medicinal purposes. I mean... I think the online games use tribbles for healing and buffs. XD

Therapy tribbles.

Add them to the petting zoo.

Like I said, they have a sedative effect on the human nervous system so they're very soothing.

Specifically the cooing noises they make

tbh mariner could use some soothing cooing noises, it's true

Can Tendi and Bashir sterilize like ten thousand?

sure! that's what the rounding them up help is for

I'm guessing it's comparable to weed.

There will be tribbles on the menu for months.

good thing the Barge has TWO infirmaries

Not having a crapton of grain on board for them to eat would help

also true

sorry sweeney XD

Do they only eat grain?

Not all food supplies?

Just be glad they're not the version that gets giant and then split into a bunch of little tribbles.

Grain is what the Enterprise was transporting when they encountered them

Giant ball of tribble community!

So that's what the tribbles ate

But I thought they eat like everything

I'm pretty sure they just eat anything because they devastate ecosystems

I was just referencing the episode lol

Yes, the community of them!

kdjfgds giant pink tribble

I wasn't even aware they came in pink!

I have a stuffed tribble at home that actually purrs and vibrates, I got it on the ST cruise XD

To be fair, the original animated show was a bit. Limited. Since it aired in the 70s.

Pink was probably the closest they could get to whatever this color was supposed to be

I love that image and I love that in the DS9 episode we learn that Sisko is up there scanning tribbles and tossing them over his shoulder which is why they keep falling on Kirk

"[insert modern Trek series] is too silly real Trek is never that silly!!!"

Bet?

right?? XD

the tenth episode of s1 DS9 is so fucking ridiculous

The FOURTH episode is fucking THE NAKED TIME

omnomivore it has those aliens Boimler was yelling at about trapping people in games LMAO

the DS9 crew gets trapped in a game by those guys

it's SO silly

AHAHA yeah that one's TNG and it's ALSO totally ridiculosu

ToS actually

OH RIGHT the TNG one is a homage

it's called The Naked Now XD

theSSjuli: omg i have a tribble (no vibrating or noise tho) that i got at the Smithsonian air and space museum :3

We’re so Trek

magicom omg yesssss

omg yes they need a tribble

I'm not a ST fan but I'd want one too

Yeah! They’re cute!

Only disappointment is i’ve had mine for 30 years and I still only have one! 😆

Clearly not genetically modified.

Eunuch Tribble as my man Wu Xin might say.

Sounds about right.

3000 years late but do you mind if steve recognizes he's got a tribble on his head? XD

I feel like that's something I should ask first

steve has been to the trek!verse (admittedly the Terran Empire version, but still) so I think he's got cause to have run into one before, but I don't want to overstep if you don't want him to recognize it

antipositional: go for it!!

okay!!! 8D

excellent just wanted to check first~

OMG steve went to the mirrorverse??

I recall he went to the trek verse because of his inmate?

he did! one of his inmates was mirror t'pol

so when she graduated, he and jean grey went back with her to show that dumb terran empire what's what XD

so somewhere out there, there is a universe where captain america and the phoenix helped a random vulcan dismantle the terran empire and bring peace to the galaxy XD

omg that's incredible

Gotta love marvel multiverse. That is very believable. XD

:3
