You hear that? You hear that sound? jon pertwee's coming on his hovercraft and he is pissed
Damn you, now I have to start a pertwee rewatch!
I couldn’t resist…
*Horsepeople, or horsepersons!
“It's not working.”
“...We're ~~both~~ all reversing the polarity.”
“Yes, I know that.”
“There's ~~two~~ four of us. I'm reversing it, you're reversing it back again. We're confusing the polarity!”
Series pitch: t’lyn (in her absolute unhinged way) figures out how to make the shield polarity orthogonal to previous states, rendering them completely impervious to known powers, who, threatened by this, hatch a plot to infiltrate the federation and steal the technology by becoming member states. The federation’s rootbeer-like insidiousness eventually makes them give up their plot, but they still get the tech anyway because cooperation
Mostly I want to hear starfleet engineers start saying that they’re orthogonalizing the polarity, because I find that I hilariously ridiculous concept.
AC power in their biggest nemesis.
Yes, but they don't reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.
Only The Doctor can reverse the polarity of something with no polarity.
So... Just as an FYI and to be that dickhole:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_electric_dipole_moment
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleon_magnetic_moment
https://inspirehep.net/literature/650244
A nonzero electric dipole moment can only exist if the centers of the negative and positive charge distribution inside the particle do not coincide. So far, no neutron EDM has been found. The current best measured limit for dn is (0.0±1.1)×10−26 e⋅cm.[1]
I'm going to pretend I understand that quote and move on.
I knew you was good people Squid
Trip’s the only one with cojones though. He reversed the polarity manually.
Hemmer was also always reversing polarity, he just made it sound more profound and quasi-metaphysical.
/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.
