Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.

Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I've ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.

So, what's the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?

Nah. It's all that O'Brien poundcake.

I prefer the cellular peptide cake myself.

I was about to make a joke about Troi and the expected qualities of a cake, but I'll leave it at that.

Wait but which O'Brien? Miles? Or the clone Miles that was meant to infiltrate the peace talk? Or the Miles from 7 hours in the future that just replaced the present day Miles? There's just so many to choose from, it's so hard

Or mirror O'Brien that thinks nothing of kidnapping Jake Sisko even after Real Sisko saved his life on multiple occasions.
