You wake up tomorrow in the Star Trek universe. You are your current age...

you wake up tomorrow in the Star Trek universe. You are your current age. Star Trek Universe (STU) is a post capitalist society, so resources are no object. What do? Join starfleet, get a comfy job on a space station, mine dilithium on the outer rim planets, hijack a spaceship and explore the galaxy yourself?

Starfleet academy->starship->science/medical officer->deep space research vessel

Join starfleet and explore the universe... like everyone else on this bhutanese cave painting forum I would become pic related.

Spend all my days creating niche holo-porn programs. I will be rolling in lods of gold-pressed latinum.

Sit around watching space TV and shitposting about it on the futurenet.

Wait what's the time period? TOS or TNG

there's only one answer, OP
> find out what happens to time-travelers, universe-jumpers, or people waking up from cold storage who "can't handle" the future/universe they find themselves in

Feddies are worse than the borg. In fact, basically every society demonstrated in the series has been revealed as a complete shitfest that's operating as a dystopia just beneath the surface. Federation didn't get the same treatment until DS9, but it was always there. Just under the surface.

Become a NEET and play video games.

this

I'd never step foot in a transporter

Ask everyone about their sexual organs?

Is it the 22nd Century, 23rd Century or 24th Century?

And is it the regular timeline or the movie timeline?

Since post scarcity can never happen, I would figure out a way to survive since the system I fell into is going to collapse.

I would find an independent corporation that has an interest in xeno-archaeology and get as far away from federation as possible.

pick up a sexbot, eat space tendies, shitpost on spacechan's /holo/

I would like to join Starfleet, but literally everyone you see on the show that isn't just some shitty security officer is basically a fucking mensa prodigy super genius.

Since I wake up tomorrow, I take my knowledge of classified Starfleet info from Memory Alpha and watching the series and just fuck around and/or blackmail Section 31 to hire me and or just get my own space ship, fly around, replicate shit and trade it too shitty civilizations that have no replicators for something of actual wealth like Latinum then buy a harem of Orion slave girls.

>too fucking autistic to deal with hypothetical situations

sad

One of the weird things about Star Trek is there is basically very little worldbuilding on a micro level.

What is popular music in the Federation? What do most people do who aren't part of Starfleet? Whats the average day like for a civilian? Fuck, what do Federation cities even look like? What are the current fashion trends? We know the Federation is some form of Socialist Social Democracy, but whats actually the political ideologies at play within the Federation, do they see themselves as Socialist within the tradition of Karl Marx? Do they consider themselves Marxists? Do they even consider themselves Socialist? One episode they do have the "Ft. Knox museum of Capitalism" so obviously they know they are a system that is post-Capitalist but how do they view themselves politically?

Fuck, there's more worldbuilding in Trek around the Klingons than the Federation.

>Barclay
>NEET
Man made it into starfleet on the FUCKING FLAGSHIP
He was anything but true NEET, just probably auts or sperg

Try to play video games on the holodeck abs realize that since TV writers are idiots, the only things are relaxation programs and holo-novels when in reality we'd have the most batshit insane video games that are easy as fuck to develop from a learning computer system
Imagine Elder Scrolls where the ENTIRE WORLD is mapped out and the characters actually can learn and react because all you had to say is "computer, make a blacksmith"

Rush directly for the nearest holodeck, murdering anyone who gets in my way.

Spend all my time checking out telivision and movies that no doubt were finished and made.

Can I get them to fix my fucked up body and face and autisn or would they say hurrr just b urself look at Picard he's bald heh!

Starfleet surgeons routinely change peoples species for infiltration missions, so perfect plastic surgery should be no problem.

Finally we can be the little girl~

Learn basic shipbuilding and maintenance and get a crew of other non-starfleet humans, plus maybe some cool aliens, but only the cool ones. Then we build a ship from scratch to our custom specifications and warp off to wherever in the known galaxy suits our fancy.

The Federation, at least on Earth, is a strong meritocracy. Everyone's basic human needs are met, but further privileges are granted by accomplishment and endeavor in scientific, humanitarian, or artistic fields. Not everyone has their own starship, for instance, despite Earth having essentially unlimited resources. It's not a strict socialist economy, personal property rights are respected and there's no taxation or redistribution of wealth. There are some ambiguities in how they encourage labor without any concept of currency, however. For example, Sisko's father runs a restaurant, clearly cooking food just for the love of it. One could imagine his waiters work for him as an apprenticeship, doing the cleaning and other odd jobs in exchange for learning his trade. But there must surely be other tasks necessary on Earth that can't be so easily compensated for performing.

You actually see a lot of civilians in both DS9 and TNG. Future clothing is very jumpsuit-heavy, especially for children, and features either garish combinations of colours, or browns and beige. Fashion sense was not a strength of 80s and 90s Trek. The cities you see occasionally but are somewhat generic future-city crap and look a lot like "alien" cities of the same tech level that aren't from a main species (Vulcan, Klingon, Romulan, Kardassian, ect.)

I *think* Starfleet's post-scarcity economy would work on a practical basis like the Titanian technosocialist economy in Eclipse Phase, sans the transhumanism and with matter replicators instead of nanofabricators. The gist of it is you are allotted resources for the matter replicators, and even if you are a useless NEET you still get more than you would need just to support yourself jacking off in a small, comfy room with space-tendies while holo-waifus lick your face. If you are a space doctor or something you can be allotted a large house or property, or have research funded.

There's gotta be one planet that's basically just 2016 earth. I'll happily go live in a cheap set version of my current life.

well tng and voy presented him as being a supergenius with social skills that probably put him on the spectrum

Chill out on DS9 doing nothing

>Get my lifelong ailments cured
>Laze about

Star Trek people are supposed to be just straight-up better than us.

>>I would become a transporter technician and make myself effectively immortal through repeated transporter cloning, making myself younger each time. only recording changes like increase in fitness.
Along the way I would get distracted copying lolis, keeping the copies in my rape dungeon before disposing of them each year, using the same material to recreate a new fresh version

>go straight to the holodeck
>start banging

Wake up, because Star Trek universe is goofy shit that makes no sense so I am clearly dreaming

First I'd find a holodeck, find "The Expanse" Holonovel, and have a drink with Miller and Julie Mao.
>inb4 cure for spaceAIDS

I probably wouldn't join the Federation, but would willingly act as a consultant (so I guess that means getting a ship and exploring).

Live in total comfort in a holodeck house write trashy holonovels.

>be assigned to flagship
>said ship has a +90% mortality rate
>mysteriously, cap's staff is immortal
>said ship meets a danger every ly
>everything solved at the last minute
>laws of physics make no more sense

>realize there is something wrong
>realize you live in TV show
>fight an entity called "The Narration"

>hide in the ship to avoid missions
>loose all notions of space and time
>be literal caveman living in hidden sections

Would like to think I would be off exploring.

Instead I would live my life in a holodeck, making weird ass sex programs.

fuck a blue chick

Holodeck sex

Buttfuck Tay-tay on the holodeck

thank my lucky stars I have escaped the dystopia hell of the present. Go to visit various countries in Europe and be glad Islam has been eradicated, along with the less dangerous religions. Live in a good life, read, love and never worry about traffic and being a work slave having to worry about sustaining my life to do something I hate.
feels good

Go to earth and get a replicator and a nice comfy apartment with a holo room. The End

Me? I'd serve crab legs.

I'd quickly discover that I simply wasn't smart enough for this age, with young children having a better understanding of math and science.

Luckily, as OP mentioned resources are no longer an issue. I could just fuck around all day if I felt like it.

>Computer, locate Ensign user.

Ensign user is located on Deck 13, Jefferies tube 4C.

>Very good. Computer, 'chicken tendies', hot. Have them left nearby. We can't have Ensign interfering in another away mission.

We'd be like ancient tribes-persons dumped into a modern society.

>Get escorted round various media outlets and scientific societies
>Make hilarious social gaffs and points out oddities in future society to the amusement of the audience
>Try to establish relationship with people in current time-frame... but without any cultural connection become isolated and lonely.
>Romantic relationships fail; my outdated notions are vile to their modern sensibilities
>No job; my skill set is evolved to survive a different period and I struggle to adapt
>Get abused/tricked by publicists hoping to make their name off my odd status
>Sink into a plethora of modern narcotics and distractions
>Realise my decent, pull myself together and try to find old life, try to make a 21st century home
>My home becomes an oddity people travel past, look at the caveman... butchering meat no less
>Won't you people just LEAVE ME ALONE, they laugh as I fire my primative firearms at their personal shields
>Gets too much, kill myself

You'd be a Holodeck connoisseur and iconoclast.

You could craft Holonovels so perverted and filthy, the likes the 23rd century has never seen before. The noble and utopian sensibilities of modern day humans would be shocked and titillated by our ancient ways, you'd become an instant sensation overnight.

I'd work in a museum or history department, specialising in the 20th Century. Whenever anyone disagreed with me I'd point out that I lived it while they have only read about it in books. I'd throw that in someone's face at least once a day.

>Won't you people just LEAVE ME ALONE

straight to hollodeck

>Curator user, we need you to conduct our symposium on 20th Century mating rituals and basic social customs..

>Curator user.. why are you shaking?

So what do I have to do, or have accomplished to have material goods, and access to travel?

I go to a Ferengi loanshark, get 6 months worth of holodeck credits and shag literally everyone it's ever occurred to me to have a sexual thought about until the computer is forced to beam me to an infirmary for life-saving rehydration

>professor, in the early 21st century there was an abundance of online forums, yet your lecture focused solely on one relatively obscure imageboard, the debate in which is generally considered to have been of low quality and loaded with offensive material
>what did you mean by this?

"Commander, tell me about your sexual organs"

>Computer, tendies, hot.
>Computer, recycle empty plate.
>Computer, tendies, hot.
>Computer, recycle empty plate.
>Computer, tendies, hot.
>Computer, recycle empty plate.

>Computer, recycle the contents of my stomach

You're good to go.

>computer, simulate multiple positive replies to my comment

Obtain a green Orion slave girl for....research

Join Starfleet, go into Science, maybe transfer to Command later on.

>go to local holodeck to enjoy latest holo-cape-shit
>attendant tricks me into buying holographic popcorn
>some prankster turns the safety off
>get raped by the joker

I explain people I'm from a different Era and I dont have the ambition like the 24th Century people have. To live for a greater good and shit.

Their historians would suck my dick all day to know how it was to live in the 20th century from me and not from books and memos.

Then I would ask to live my life out here in peace. They give me a nice house. All the Tech shit and I can just do nothing all just relax.

good question
for some reason people were attracted the musings of posters on one Thai Bicycle Club image board, though it was later discovered that ti was a "deep" WEB site for Cheese Pizza

>implying they'd want to study a NEET

Since I would have nothing in common with the people in star trek (I can barely make friends in the present) I would dedicate my efforts to making myself a public nuisance by playing pranks on people using the technology. They have a pretty lenient justice system, right?

>'user, come over to my house for dinner!'
>'sure thing dude'
>Shit in teleporter
>Transport to guy's house

Who /devilish/ here?

>Program replicator to make creme-filled truffles with smegma instead of creme
>Hey guys I made a 21st century dessert snack please try some as these are part of my culture and I'm very proud of them

they could peer into a world where there's a population of entirely untreated neets with depression and other mental disorders, and study the effects of upbringing!

D E V L I S H

>LOAD "POOR LITTLE WHITE BOY" ENVIRONMENT
>DISENGAGE SECURITY PROTOCOLS

>'user, come teleport to my house for dinner!'
>you do
>'haha prankd u bro, just cloned you and killed the original!'

I'm 24 so I feel like it's a little late for me to join the Academy. I'd probably do what I currently do; copywriting and amateur film reviewing.

Starfleet is just the military. All other professions are still there. Unless you're currently in the army I doubt you'd be in Starfleet.

ur lifespan jumped to 200 years dawg, it's never too late

This actually happened in TNG where some terminally ill people were cryogenically frozen and thawed out by the Enterprise. There was a banker, a musician, and two? others I don't quite remember.

Picard's attitude toward them was a mixture of patronizing and disgust. Like they were mentally retarded children covered in dog vomit. I don't think they'd be quite eager to find out your previous knowledge.

Not if I act like a cool guy and not a shit throwing monkey

Same thing I do now: teach.

But I'd be teaching in space.

Those early season episodes were always pretty shitty, that was back when Roddenberry was still mucking things up with his bizarre neutered ideas of humanity. It wasn't until the later seasons when they started making the Federation more realistic and the main cast act like actual humans.

simply put, I would be an oddity
exceptionally corpulent, they would put me on a health regimen almost immediately

Jadzia would fug you at least once because you're such an interesting oddity.

Relax somewhere nice and try to repair the mental damage I've sustained in this shitty earth before I die.

That was actually a pretty good episode. Didn't they all help in their own small, specialized way near the end?

Picard would probably be disgusted by even the best of us too.

>tumblr_inline_nmuw2rBdEF1ts9ad2_500.jpg

>resources are no object

I get one of everything

Sir! it's an honor to be serving on the Enterprise.
I can't believe they actually put me here in charge of security... I-I still wonder why they asked me a page long question on "why I was feeling suicidal..." Oh well, this is great.

>retards from the 21st century being able to live in the future

youd be a mouth breathing idiot who asks how things work 24/7, youd barely amount over a janitor or waiter compared to everyone else

you would also 100% never get into star fleet academy

imagine if someone from 200 years ago awoke now and tried to join a science faclity even though they were a great scientist for 200 years ago

Go to deep space 9, find benjamin and jake sisko, and call them niggers. Will the UT censor this

>Star Trek future
>Recreate favorite actresses from my time period
>Fuck them in the Holodeck for years.
>Do space drugs.

What a dystopian nightmare.

the only reason i watch this boring neutral shit is for the chick on the left. the acting is pretty good but god damn is this show boring as fuck

Why watch a sci-fi space opera if you dont have any interest in it?

TNG S2 E1 The Child

Bad Episode or Worst Episode?

Don't project user, there's a difference between understanding you have problems and glorifying them and acting out

Objective patrician choice

>You come over and over again
>"Computer, stop program"
>Gallons of semen that were contained in the projected actress fall down to the floor
>You have nothing to clean it.
>Someone is banging on the door, waiting for their Holodeck turn.

That was a Roddenberry-Era episode, Picard during that time was disgusted by everything.

Definitely join Starfleet. I work well with rigidity and rules but I loath the idea of killing to make solely to prop up American corporations and the petrodollar.

Yell, with my physics degree I might actually be smart enough to compete with the standard education on Earth and become an officer.

Well to be fair Picard was dealing with a serious border incident with the romulonians and the banker was acting like a self important chode, Picard was a lot nicer to the other two (musician and random lady)
