When I first took command of this post, all I wanted was to be somewhere else. Anywhere but here. But now, five years later, this station has become my home. And you all of you have become my family .
happy 25th!

So my friend purplefringe and I got kind of obsessed with THIS POST about folks on DS9 complaining, and spent some time (that we should have been working) imagining it in a bit more detail:
@staff anti-gravity malfunctioning on the promenade again. Request immediate assistance! @jumalsjumja Hello Jumal this is Intern T’Pok. I have logged your case in our system. You are number #103 in the queue. Your request will be dealt with shortly. Thank you for your patience. @staff thanks!! any idea how long it will be out this time? @staff only last time all my jumja sticks got stuck everywhere @staff NEW REPORT help a nest of voles has just floated out past my stall. This definitely violates health and safety! @jumalsjumja Hello Jumal this is Intern T’Pok. I have logged your case in our system. You are number #104 in the queue. Your request will be dealt with shortly. Thank you for your patience. *** @chiefofops Chief the anti-grav seems to be on the blink again. Infirmary is in lockdown @CMO on my way Julian @chiefofops thanks! (see you at dinner, unless I end up in quarantine) @CMO quarantine? @chiefofops just got a faceful from an unsecured petri dish I’d been cultivating. @CMO You ok?? @chiefofops should be in a few hours. Currently experiencing slight loss of motor-control, dizziness, enhanced aural sensitivity, tingling in my extremities, and everything seems to have gone quite a nice shade of pink. Not really the symptoms I was expecting at this stage but it’s a positive sign and all very interesting. Should be able to get at least one paper out of th(CHARACTER LIMIT REACHED) @chiefofops…please could you tell Garak I won’t be able to meet him for lunch. @chiefofops Chief? @CMO stay where you are Julian I’ve got a situation on the promenade. Hang tight *** @chiefofops Chief could you send another team to the Promenade? @majorkira what is it Major? @chiefofops some idiot in security left the doors to the office open. Odo and his bucket have floated out. Separately. Odo’s all over the Promenade @majorkira uh oh @chiefofopshe is NOT going to be happ [@majorkira went offline] @majorkira everything ok? @majorkira Kira please respond [@majorkira came online] @chiefofops sorry Chief, just had to rescue a couple of vedeks from an unintentional anti -grav orb experience. Could have been messy. Jadzia’s here helping me now. All under control. We’ve got Odo back in his bucket @chiefofops oh and chief Dax says to tell you not to worry about the voles @majorkira voles??? I wasn’t worried but I am now. What’s she done? ***@WORF hey Worf you’re not answering your comm. Are you listening to opera? I know you’re off duty but we have an anti-grav situation over here, and could really use your help. @dax I am on my way. @WORF great! You can help me round up these floating voles/ @dax On second thoughts, I am very busy at present. I am needed on the Defiant. My apologies. @WORF Worf you get over here right now and help me round up these voles or I guarantee I will throw you a surprise party for your next birthday @dax I am on my way. *** @dax Commander what’s happened with the voles? @dax never mind, the nest just floated past. see you’re on the case. good work @chiefofops thanks chief! I’d stay away from the infirmary if I were you, Julian’s got some sort of airborne plague in there. @dax don’t I know it. Last thing we need is transmission by vole *** @chiefofops URGENT URGENT GRAVITY MALFUNCTION IN THE BAR @cometoquarks Quark please don’t use this channel, this is for senior staff only. Use @staff like everyone else. @chiefofops did I mention this was URGENT @cometoquarks A repair crew is currently assessing the situation on the Promenade. @chiefofops the promenade?? You need to PRIORITIZE here. I have LATINUM on the CEILING @cometoquarks Quark we’re working as fast as we can here. Your bar is NOT top priority. @chiefofops not top priority??? Chief you don’t seem to understand, I have to look after my customers! Bad business is bad for everyone. They have a bad experience here, they report it back home, that could cause a diplomatic INCIDENT. You want that on your conscience?? @chiefofops also did I mention the LATINUM on the CEILING @cometoquarks you’re not even our second priority @chiefofops where’s my idiot brother?? why isn’t he fixing this?? @cometoquarks he’s helping to secure Odo @chiefofops …Odo’s regenerating? Say no more. I completely understand. I have everything under control here, you just take your own sweet time @cometoquarks Quark Odo is definitely going to review all the security footage after this. Whatever you’re thinking of doing, don’t. @chiefofops you wound me, Chief. I thought we were friends. Your DARTS are floating around my bar. If they take someone’s eye out, YOU’RE paying for it. *** @staff hi there, is there any reason why gravity seems to be functioning in the tailor’s shop, but not here? Only I can see his shop from my stall and it all looks fine in there. It’s chaos out here. @jumalsjumja Hello Jumal this is Intern T’Pok. I have logged your case in our system. You are number #116 in the queue. Your request will be dealt with shortly. Thank you for your patience.

[I feel like mirror universe Julian Bashir is the most wasted opportunity in all of DS9. Because of how Terrans are treated in that timeline, it’s unlikely that Bashir would have been genetically altered. If he was, it was likely under the command of the Alliance. The writers really could have played on the idea of who Jules Bashir would have been or what genetic engineering had become in the mirror universe. Instead, they opted for a dark/bitter Julian. It’s really a shame. ]

#Star Trek #DS9 #same #”most wasted” is a bit hyperbolic but still #they really could have gone somewhere with the implication that mirror!Bashir is still Jules
