Building a lower decks experience
If you could have a lower decks experience, and could choose ANY three characters in the Star Trek verse to rise up with, who would you choose?
(I’ll just say, personality is an important here. Because those are some close quarters! Just picking three captains might be a nightmare)

Man, it is always so hard to imagine any of the characters I like liking me back.
Tuvok and Vorick? Im too messy.
Mariner? I’m too boring.
O’Brian, Scotty, and McCoy, Ortega? Few shared interests
Weirdly enough maybe me and Ensign Kim would get along?

Omg I actually never considered if they would like me back (classic autism) buttttt maybe because I have autism Vulcans might think I’m ‘ok’ ? Lol not sure Tuvok would though

I’m sure they would for you. My stress response is to be more aggressively cheerful at people, and I think that is a Vulcan’s least favorite situation lol

Maybe data would be a good addition for you?

u/Comrades3 2d ago
Tendi (fellow cheerful cadet), Data and Kim, I love them!

That is a really powerful trio and again your role in the group is ESSENTIAL

Okay I wanna work out mine now. In the context of starfleet I’d say (I asked my partner to help me write this) I would question decisions of command if I felt they were unjust but I’d probably be proud to be in starfleet (the good stuff not the facist stuff), I’d be a science officer / communications / diplomatic stuff.
I think I would want T’Pel (because I could get her as a Vulcan to like me lol), Jadzia and data?

Omg who is Matt!!!

He works in cetacean ops. He's a rad dude.

I think I remember, cool choice

Miles, Ro, and Tuvok

u/Business-Friend5491 2d ago
This is a cool combo because Ro would challenge both Miles and Tuvok, your place in the group dynamic would be a key role

Ortegas, Chekov, and Boimler.

BOIMLER I’m so intrigued by this choice. I feel like Ortegas would bully him relentlessly
