Nothing like a family emergency to distract from existential dread, but the help of a my good friend made all the difference. Vague story short, everyone’s fine and suffering minimized.

Friends are just the family you assimilate.

Now, back to the fight against fascism.

    I’m glad you were able to help your friend. We all need to stick together right now.

    That said, I’m not sure the womanizing creep of a doctor is the best person to have my back. It didn’t seem to actually help O’Brien much overall. They had a lot of fun in the Holosuites while Keiko was being shitty though.

      Certainly not advocating Bashir’s questionable choices and ethics, just the good parts where he was at O’Brien’s side.

      Also, I was the O’Brien in the scenario that needed help.

        Bashir’s questionable choices

        Name one time he made a bad choice. /s

        I know you weren’t. I just felt like bashing Bashir (no pun intended).

        Letting my anger out on fictional characters helps.

    I love this line, I’m assimilating that into my vocabulary.

    Paints the Borg in a much friendlier light too!

      Other way around. The post was me being thankful for the assist.

      But yeah, family.

    I prefer Omet’iklan’s speech:

    I am First Omet’iklan, and I am dead. As of this moment, we are all dead. We go into battle to reclaim our lives. This we do gladly, for we are Jem’Hadar. Remember, victory is life.

    It reflects how I feel dead inside while acknowledging that we can reclaim our lives by overcoming whatever bullshit the universe throws at us.
