    Also when he says “most” he doesn’t mean like most of this group, he means most of “you” as in we might be missing a few parts when we scoop up the goo that used to be you…

      10/10 take. “The energy beams fired by our enemies’ weapons turn large portions of most people hit to a gas/liquid mist basically instantly. The remainder will be retrieved.”

        This is why I advocate for the Federation to switch to Varon-T disruptors. Less evidence mess to clean up.

    I always loved how some of them are already pretty old. Do they just conscript them off the street to have enough cannon fodder? Were they demoted to die under Kirk’s command?

    Nope, out the airlock with ya. If you are a ranked officer then we will cram your body into a torpedo tube first.

    Ya know, they are always shooting people into space in photon torpedo casings in these shows/movies, but isn’t that pretty odd? Wouldn’t you bring the bodies back to earth so their families can have ceremonies and process the remains? Can you imagine having your dad die in some freak situation and they just shoot his body into space in the middle of nowhere? No to mention that there are any number of aliens out there who could reanimate that body if they find it.
