Mal to Kirk: "You should come see the crappy 'Verse where I'm a big damned hero".

Maybe in the future Kaylee actually invents the warp drive. Then Mal would walk in and say "Were there space monkeys?" And there would be all these coils hanging from the ceiling. And the engine just humming away like supercharged dragster.

But what would that produce if you went for full burn in atmo?

Bad stuff would probably go down, man.

Other Intersting 'Verse/Trek Situations

River fighting Borg, ultimate carnage.
Shepherd Book talking to Sisko about The Prophets
Simon, Kim and Geordi bemoaning their girl problems together.
Kaylee trying to get Tuvok to laugh.
The look on Zoe's face the first time Mal called her "Number One"
Jayne talking to Chief O'Brian about the transporters. "They do what"
Mal getting into a duel with a Klingon who talks about Inara. "Use of a Ba-What"
Wash in front of the helm looking for the yoke and asking where the switches are.
Inara trying to break up a fight between Riker and Mal.

Deanna and Inara discussing gender politics.

And actually, we don't know what happens if you try to create a warp bubble in atmo.

I forsee three possibilities:
1) Antimatter explosion, brought on by instability in the field structure. Ship go boom, everything within X# of miles go boom. People cry.

2) Successful warp field, but massive shockwaves flatten everything within X# of miles, and the ignition flash (without the vacuum of space to bleed it off) melts the warp manifolds (and probably the coils too), so your warp drive loses stability after a few seconds and you either get dropped back to impulse hard enough to short the inertial dampers and SIF, or the warp plasma feeds back into the M/ARC and the ship goes boom.

3) Nothing happens 'cause the warp coils can't generate a stable tachion bubble.

(And yes, I completely understand everything I just said. I speak fluent technobabble. S.C.E.; Have tech, will travel.)

ya know what Kaylee would really like ? Deep Space 9. She could admire Chief O'Brien's brillinat improvisations and repairs, , then fix whatever was left to do, or improve on what he did.

I'm still thinking about River and Guinan.

Just think about it. River and Guinan. Chatting away to each other in ten-forward. Imagine the possibilities!

I miss Guinan.

And everybody would love DS9. Kaylee would love chatting with either O'Brien (Old Chief) or Nog (New Chief[*]), Jayne would be renting holosuite programs from Quark, Wash & Zoe would be hitting Vic's for an evening of classy entertainment (slinky dress!), Simon and Bashir would trade stories about being geniuses, having horrible luck with women, or having to keep an eye on the babbling insane (pick one), Mal would be trading witty barbs with Quark (and Odo, depending on if he's around), Kira and/or Sisko would be giving Book a tour of the Temple (and they might encounter Garak, who, like Shepherd Book, has no secrets worth telling ). Pre-finale, Inara would be checking out Garak's shop for some new clothes, or meeting delegations from the Gamma Quadrant. Post-finale, she'd probably be hanging out with Treir (the station's resident Orion female), trading stories and verbal jousts.

River would be. . . either talking to Vic about holograms and self-awareness or having a very polite, civil discussion with Taran'Atar about killing a great number of people in a very short span of time.

(* Technically, Nog is a lieutenant, but the chief engineer of DS9 will always be referred to as "Chief," in honour of O'Brien.)

lol. Always wondered what would happen if Firefly had been set in the Star Trek universe.

Sort of Serenity as a old Klingon Bird of Prey and Mal and Zoe were veterns of the Dominion War. Wash with warp speed and Kaylee breaking the laws of psychics! lol. love to see that. oh, and maybe Simon and River as Andorians (two by two hands of blue ) and Jayne as a Klingon, would certainly kick the crap out of many people, and with honour and drink of course

BTW: if you havn't noticed yet: I have a VERY twisted mind

TRAIN!!!
Remember: When introducing Zoe to your shiny new ship, pay attention to where she's pointing when she says "What is that?" That's where you're going to be laying, bleeding someday.
