Hey All
Was posting on the Happy Birthday Trek thread, and I made a comment on the holodeck. And it got me thinking.
If the characters of Firefly were transported to the universe of STAR TREK, and they had access to Trek tech, who would use what?
Maybe with the holodeck, Jayne would be going through all the pronographic simulations, but I think Wash would be the one hogging all the free time on it by creating his own little Jurassic Park program. It would be like in FUTURAMA, where Fry got to ride a T-Rex, but in the future, it's the equivalent of a kiddie ride. And some little girl goes "Mommy, why is that man acting crazy?"
Well, Wash would be like that. I can imagine a long line of people wanting to use the holodeck, but they can't because Wash is in there riding on the back of the T-Rex from JURASSIC PARK and indulging in his base childhood fantasy, screaming at the top of his lungs "Bow before me, puny mortals".
Also, on a side note, Jayne would probably spend most of the time arguing with a Vulcan (I'm thinking Tuvok) and getting angrier and angerier while the Vulcan just remains calm and collected.

"Maybe we should start calling your friend 'Padme' because he loves 'Mannequin Skywalker' so much, Right? (imitating robot) Danger...danger...my name is Anakin...my shitty acting is ruining saga."

River would use the transporter to "just fade away..."
EDIT: Not a techie thing, but I would pay good money to see Dienna Troi trying to counsel River. Cuz that would just be funny.

Kaylee would simulate a garden full of strawberries.

Actually, can you imagine Kaylee's face if she saw an antimatter engine?

Actually I can hear her:
"What do you mean, you don't use screws and bolts anymore?! I can see the how of it, but why? What happens if you lose power to those fancy force fields? You're whole ship comes apart? Now that's "junk".

What I see is Jayne blasting away with phasers and torpedos at any thing that moves, laughing crazily.

Wash and holo-dinosaurs, oh yeah. But I can imagine him wanting to fly the Enterprise. "It goes how fast? Oooh, can we?"
Jayne, confronted with Klingon food. Actually, Jayne and Klingons. And romulan ale. He'd probably end up an honorary member of some clan. I can totally see him with one of those axes (which I can't spell)
There was more but the whole Jayne as Klingon thing has shorted out my brain. I need to go and lie down and think...clean thoughts...

Taking bets on how many minutes it would take Jayne to start a brawl in 10 Foward. 
Simon would be in 7th heaven in sick bay. Wonder how long he'd be in there before coming up for air?

The Jayne as a Klingon thig could be interesting but I recall them having that honor thing (so they claimed at least) and facing death and all that.
I imagine he'd also have a bit of a problem with that "synthahol" crap. Actually. I think they all might be somewhat less than enthusiastic about it.
Now Zoe might get along well with some Kilngons. And I imagine Inara would fit right in with all those federation types. Imagine how some of the men from those shows would react to her. You know, Kirk and Riker and the like.
Now how do you think Simon would react to the medical technology? He'd either be completey in love or feel somewhat lost and useless.
And DTH, I too would pay to see Troi attempt to counsel River. I think River might break something in the poor womans mind.

Op: You're fighting a war you've already lost.
Mal: Yeah, well I'm known for that.

I can see Zoe beating up a persistent Klingon, and promptly finding she has a fan club. 
Or River beating up a Klingon. That would be fun.
heh - imagine a Vulcan mind-meld with River.
Jayne and Orion girls - "hey, Mal, they got green ones..."
