#i think we did once have a conversation about crozier getting the ‘what does god need with a starship’ line. i still think about that

as you should.

There is a Trek IV scenario out there where Spock’s calculations are a bit off and instead of landing in 1980s San Francisco, it’s the 1840s and the arctic (I’m sure the whales are just beyond the pack).

Scotty: I took the cloak offline to conserve power, besides there’s no one here to see us.

(just over the next ridge are two boat loads of terrified seamen and and a few curious natives.)

Pack Ice problem? NO problem if you’ve got a ship mounted disruptor to vaporize it (oops shot went stray and took out the thankfully empty Erebus). Hell, make your own northwest passage out out carefully placed disruptor shots.

Can’t travel back to the 23rd Century because of the dilithium crystal breaking down technobable? Ah well, enough power to fly the crew back to England (or, if hijacked by Hickey, to Hawaii)

On a sidenote Fitzjames would be so disappointed with the interior of the ship, he expected something garish and instead it’s grungy and smells worse than the bilge room.
