Leaderboard in the locker rooms, leaderboard while you plan missions, leaderboard while you train, leaderboard while you’re in class where there’s a window to the training room so you can look at the leaderboard in there too just in case you missed the leaderboard right next to the damn window, leaderboard in another part of the locker rooms, leaderboard in the recovery ward so that you can stare at the goddamn leaderboard just in case your grievous wounds fail to remind you that you fucked up, leaderboard in the damn mess hall so you can look at it while you cry into your mashed potatoes,

Has anybody… taken a tally of all the places the leaderboard was put up, though? It seems like it was posted in several rooms all over the MoI and I’m not gonna lie, that’s kinda creepy. 

But now I’m just picturing it everywhere. Like, Freelancers waking up in the morning and there it is, projected on the ceiling above their beds. Someone goes into a bathroom stall and you hear, “I know I lost a ranking, what happened to the sports page?” Check inside your locker? Leaderboard. Pick up a toothbrush? Look again, the leaderboard’s projected on your teeth. The Counselor’s getting concerned. The Director thinks it’s great for productivity.

imagine data caring for you when you’re unable to care for yourself

imagine data being the constant in your life for seventy, eighty years

imagine data staying by your side because he is accustomed to your sensory input and he would miss you if you were gone

imagine data knowing that one day he will miss you and choosing to become accustomed to you anyway

imagine data.

Imagine Data knowing that one day he will miss you…

…unless he does something about it

Imagine Data developing new advances in technology

Imagine Data revolutinizing bio-engenering, genetics, prothesis and everything that can prolongue human life.

Imagine Data giving back to you the ability to care for yourself

Imagine Data being a constant in your life for seventy hundred or eighty hundred years.

Imagine Data knowing that one day humanity conquered the stars, that one day humanity created himself, proving that it could create life.

Imagine Data knowing that one day humanity (post-humanity, trans-humanity, alien-humanity) will conquer Death.

It occurred to me, while I was thinking about this post, that Star Trek already has mind-uploading capabilities.

It is canon that the Borg keep copies of every mind they assimilate, which survive beyond the deaths of the drones they were copied from.

It is canon that under certain conditions, minds can be precipitated out of the hive-mind solution, even if you don’t have their original brain handy.

And, on second thought, the Trill also do exactly this, though under circumstances that are likely to have a lot more limitations.

(Huh, there are actually two Star Trek episodes focusing on how people there can live indefinitely, but only if they spend almost all the time as part of a hive mind, with no reasons given for why the technology couldn’t be used in a completely non-assimilating manner.)

The Feds have already used adapted stolen Borg technology to save lives. Think how many more they could save if they went a bit further.
