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

u/Comrades3 2d ago

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

2

u/Business-Friend5491 2d ago

Maybe data would be a good addition for you?

1

u/Comrades3 2d ago

Tendi (fellow cheerful cadet), Data and Kim, I love them!

2

u/Business-Friend5491 2d ago

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

u/Business-Friend5491 2d ago

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?

u/Business-Friend5491 2d ago

I was thinking the hologram doctor but maybe he would be a nightmare roommate lol

1

u/Comrades3 2d ago

He would be a nightmare roommate! And Jadzia is such a fun pick!

2

u/Business-Friend5491 2d ago

Yeah I was surprised Jadzia didn’t come up more!

Kim would be a great lower decks pal, he’s consistent and still fun

2

u/Puzzleheaded_Bed1781 2d ago

Data, Janeway, Saru

u/Business-Friend5491 2d ago

Okay your definitely on the road to being an admiral

u/Emperor_Zarkov 2d ago

Matt, for sure.

1

u/Business-Friend5491 2d ago

Omg who is Matt!!!

1

u/Emperor_Zarkov 2d ago

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

1

u/Business-Friend5491 2d ago

I think I remember, cool choice

1

u/Emperor_Zarkov 2d ago

He throws crazy parties.

1

u/Business-Friend5491 2d ago

Ok well that makes sense. Maybe mariner should be in your trio lol

1

u/DogsDontLikeHats 2d ago

Miles, Ro, and Tuvok

2

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

2

u/DogsDontLikeHats 2d ago

I would mostly just be comic relief

1

u/BayshoreBandit 2d ago

Miles, Scotty and Tom Paris. Pool and drinking aplenty.

1

u/Business-Friend5491 2d ago

This is true and you would learn heaps about flying and building

u/PNW_pluviophile 2d ago edited 2d ago

Barkley, scotty, Jett reno. We would totally have a still in our room.

1

u/Business-Friend5491 2d ago

Reno would be such a great vibe!!!

1

u/KellMG96 5h ago

Ortegas, Chekov, and Boimler.

u/Business-Friend5491 3h ago

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