Y/n is a new ensign- and a good one. Even though they’re new to the Enterprise, and to Starfleet- it already feels like home. Like somewhere they’re supposed to be.
It’s too tense on the Enterprise. Everyone is pent up and anxious, with nobody having taken a break for almost a month. Alpha shift gathers in Captain Pike’s Ready Room to learn that there’s a pleasure planet that isn’t Risa along the way - Cesnar Grand. According to the video brochure’s host, Dendru, there’s a little something for everyone to help them relax and enjoy themselves - especially the intoxicating atmosphere, that has a different effect on everyone, but it behaves much like alcohol. Oh, by the way, leave the gadgets at home. Cesnar Grand happens to be a tech-free zone. Of course, every brochure has its fine print. Dendru mentions something about effects wearing off shortly after leaving, and that landing on the planet is immediate agreement to all the terms and conditions, blah-blah-blah, lots of really tiny print flashes across the screen. That wasn’t important, right?
A confounding thing happens. The Enterprise passes through a cloud in space that alters the very way people act- and causes them to communicate their innermost thoughts and feelings through song, at moment of high emotion. Specifically musical theatre repertoire. Even if they didn’t know the words before- they do now.
After the Avengers are overtaken by a zombie plague, a group of survivors discover the key to bringing an end to the super-powered undead, racing across a dystopian landscape and risking their lives to save their world.
Y/n is a neurodivergent, science-focused Cadet- and a good one. Even though they’re new to the Discovery, and to Starfleet- it already feels like home. Like somewhere they’re supposed to be.
Nobody on the Enterprise wants to face their interpersonal issues. And there you are in the middle of it all. Until a cosmic trickster named Trelaine decides he wants to have some fun. …And throw everyone into a genuine soap opera. Cliches, dramatic music stings, extreme zooms, over-acting, ridiculous plotlines and all.
It’s been a fairly ordinary day aboard the Enterprise. The crew is going about their business when Scotty is conducting an experiment with the transporter. He’s been working on extending its range, and he needs something to test it on. Unfortunately, that something happens to be a creepy little puppet named Little Ricky, which Scotty has apparently been carrying around for reasons nobody has bothered to question. Y/N happens to be aboard the Enterprise when Scotty initiates the test. The transporter activates. And then immediately goes catastrophically wrong. There’s a flash of light, alarms begin blaring, and the transporter room fills with smoke. Scotty stumbles backward, insisting that everything is fine, which would be considerably more convincing if he weren’t staring at the transporter like it had personally betrayed him. When the smoke clears, something is very, very wrong. Most of the Enterprise crew has been transformed into puppets.
