all starfleet officers are hereby required to wear a personal location lapel on their clothing about their breast at all times the location device can also be used for monitored internal communications and can also relate state-sponsored messages directly to your person please be advised that anything you say can and will be used against you in a federation court martial

you must wear this device even when sleeping if you are possessed or influenced by an alien entity during a dream sequence and are not found to be wearing your personal location lapel so that you can immediately communicate with security you will be punished with the more ominous weapons and vicious tribbles

It's wild that the mirror universe has nearly identical populations to the prime universe. Like there's a mirror Spock and Mirror Kirk, and then a hundred years later there's a Mirror Sisko. All the things that went different, but the same people kept bumping uglies and making babies. That has to be Qs or something, right? Something pruning away dead ends. Mirror Jadzia and Mirror Ezri never even get joined with Dax, but both somehow wind up in the human resistance on Mirror DS9, a station that has no other Trills. That can't just be coincidence. Kinda scary. Like Jake is still alive, but Mirror Jake was never born, so if Jake goes on to have a bunch of kids and grandkids it would break the mirror. Jake doesn't necessarily have to die young, but his life does have to meaningless and make no lasting impact of any kind.

my theory is that cardassians are like the new mexico whiptail lizard Aspidoscelis neomexicanus. exclusively parthenogenic. that's why they're so intense about "family" and strict societal roles. the nuclear family model has to be mandated because it's culturally important but otherwise biologically obsolete. sex is only for bonding, your average cardassian will just periodically spit out a clone. this is also why their planet became resource-scarce--they couldn't regulate population because -- *poof!* -- babies just sort of fall out of them from time to time. dukat clearly favors his son melkor (who gets several shoutouts in the show, but who we never see). probably because that one is actually his offsprongt. the other six with his wife are all hers. anyway this is how and why a space-faring civilization has not invented the condom. they have sex for bonding purposes and have no idea that's how babies are made. for evidence, i present:

how does this square with mila being garak's mother, you ask? well i don't think she is. it's not explicit in the show. family? sure. but she has white hair and tain has black hair. you know what i think? grandma. ergo they are clearly like the american alligator, where sex is simply determined by temperature during embryonic development. mila -> tain -> garak. qed. sure, gilora offers to mate with miles, but we see that she and the other engineer lady (ulani) are into weird offworld poo poo and they probably heard you can generate a non-clone baby if you mate with an alien. so it's scientific, and also turbo wack

the only redeeming trait about Cardassians is their love for their family, that’s why they all have like a hundred kids. Which isn”t as weird a choice as it seems for a reptilian-looking race. Crocodiles raise their young for months and are very attentive e: hmm according to memory alpha I’m wrong and they aren’t known for having that many children. Well fine then, dukat just likes to get it on Prism Mirror Lens fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Jun 3, 2020 |

The Mirror Universe was created by sexweirds from our universe. It predates holo technology! Some people just want to look really really deeply into their own butthole. They don't want to look into a similar butthole, and they don't want pictures no matter how detailed, they want the real thing!

The "family means everything to Cardassians" statement was followed up with a statement about several generations eating dinner together so it's more about that than having lots of alligator babies. It was probably also bullshit. Xindi Insectoids are probably more family oriented.

And Tain knows for his own protection he should have done the same with Garak (and says as much) but never does/can. Dukat's also pretty focused on his son we never see (annoys me... show me the little dude!)

Epicurius posted:I figured the Cardassian government encouraged large families as a way to get more bodies for the state. It could be a chicken/egg situation. When humans get stability and education we tend to seek out ways to control how many children we have. But there's no reason to think every humanoid species would react the same way. Maybe they don't get the urge to have fewer children, or maybe 9 is a much smaller family than their pre-industrial ancestors had, or maybe it's parthenogenesis. So they have large families of educated children that mostly survive to adulthood and continuing exponential population growth. Technology prevents starvation. A strong State prevents disorder. An ever-expanding Empire provides lebensraum and resources to ensure a good quality of life.

That cardie who wanted to bone O'brian seemed to think lots of kids would be good. "I assure you I'm... quite fertile. I could provide you with many healthy children." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD5e54UVrZk&t=71s

It is created anew every time someone visits. I really like this, but I was going ro ask 'what about all the times people from the mirror universe came into ours first?' And in typing that I figured it out! It continues to exist for a time after the first contact. So all the follow up DS9 eps happen in that short time before the mirror universe falls apart or whatever.

Although, of course, that doesn't always happen. Nazi Germany, for instance, encouraged women to have a lot of children, even giving financial incentives and public praise to families with a lot of kids. And, since the Cardassians are pretty clearly modeled on the Nazis, I'm wondering if it's just a similar parallel.

Juul-Whip posted:it was funny when Geordi got owned for making a holo-fuckpuppet of that physicist help me remember this accurately the holo-lady is actually the ship personifying itself right? so its not that geordi hosed a puppet (as everyone does in the holo-suites), its that he was literally banging the ship. or at least the ship's computer makes me think of that futurama episode...and then i realize the futurama episode is just aping tng i want to make a sci-fi story with characters that are like the offshoots of the weird things that happen in space like: -a guy who is just an accidental transporter clone -a guy who teleported forward in time and saw the future with his son in it until at the very end his son kills himself sending the guy back to have to live life again -person from another dimension who ended up getting accidentally sucked into ours during someone else's grand adventure star trek is full of these fascinating set ups but those characters often disappear or the circumstances become simply incidental. i know my examples are mostly major characters and you do see them again, but there are plenty more i just can't remember. its really opened my eyes to the possibilities of sci-fi character backgrounds though
