Post your favorite Star Trek character. Wrong answers only.
Krystal from Star Fox Adventures lying on her stomach in a position that shows off her 2000-era furry cleavage (Gene’s vision). At first I was just going to post Slippy but then I thought, “No. I bet this one will offend some nerds.” Well, did I offend you, nerd?? I vaguely remember this game feeling like a Jet Force Gemini sequel reskinned with Star Fox for some reason, and also there were dinosaurs. 2002, amirite?

As a Lebowski fan, I like this one:

Who invited this guy? #TOSSatNight
NOMAD at a party in the Cerritos bar in the Star Trek: Lower Decks mobile game. It’s sitting apart from the other guests, which include a cadre of Starfeet Captains down and to the right, Charlie X to the far right, and Data and The Doctor on the left. Above NOMAD is the text, “They don’t know I did multiple genocides.”
