One thing that will probably change for the main story is the starfleet uniforms. I had been trying to recreate the uniforms as shown in the flashbacks of star trek picard, as they are from the rough period Albion is set. For a while I've been debating whether to consider the events of the picard show, such as the romulan supernova and banning of synths as “canon” for the purposes of this comic. A lot of people have issues with the direction of Picard, and I have mixed feelings about some of it. It portrays a very different Starfleet and Federation and an almost dystopian future rather than the more utopian of Trek of old. What sold me on embracing it is looking back to DS9 and the Dominion war. It left starfleet damaged and in a more militaristic role. That and by the end of Picard things were on a slightly more upbeat note, hopefully season 2 will have more of Picard fighting to bring Starfleet back to itself.

I like the fan theory that the earlier, more utopian Star Trek were actually Federation propaganda, showing things how they're 'supposed' to have happened... and the newer shows are closer to reality. Star Fleet's Iron Curtain is cracking to let a little light in.

interesting. I've always worked on the theory there's a side not shown.

Are all Vulcans this annoying? I wonder if that's, like, just how the Vulcan aristocrats and social climbers behave, and everyone else there is completely normal?

Maybe it's a social awkwardness of being around frivolous humans. Actually one of the reasons I did this short story was to help get a feel for writing Vulcans.

Yeah beaming down right in the middle of a kick like that would leave me pretty bewildered too.

Thoughts within thoughts. Damn Vulcans.

Yeah, maybe not contradicting Picard is the way to go. I choose to ignore it myself but I understand the quandary you have there!

Oh, you Vulcans! Gotta love ‘em. No, that’s too emotional. You gotta at least appreciate them. Or...commend them?

I commend your efforts to adjust to understand the Vulcan mentality. Respect to you for trying as many of your kind cannot understand such concepts.
