Daystrom Institute is UFP, not Starfleet affiliated. Hence why those who work at Daystrom aren’t Starfleet.

I didn’t notice this before but in Alpha canon Daystrom Institute was founded in 2256, before TOS. So this speech doesn’t make sense. The writer probably didn’t know that either.

EDIT: I need to clarify that this information is from “Chose Your Pain”, so it came along after “The Ultimate Computer”.

Yeah, if you go back and watch the video I posted on YouTube, the welcome message that plays when you’re in line specifically says shuttle. It would’ve made more sense if they were runabouts but there’s no evidence that runabouts are even used during the period of Picard season 3.

Based on what I can remember from DS9, runabouts are faster and generally used for longer trips.

EDIT: Is the Federation even adhering to the warp five speed limit anymore? I know it doesn’t get addressed after “Force of Nature”, but is there anything suggesting that the speed limit has been dropped completely by the 25th century?

EDIT 2: The site I linked says 28.19 days.

It was restarted in like the last year.

No thanks.

At least I wasn’t attending a bat’leth tournament.

Yep. Many people for example mistakenly think Los Angeles is near Disneyland.

If only I had a transporter available.

I was coming from Riverside County.

🤭 Thanks. Unfortunately, unless I planned a better day to Agua Dulce (the city which Vasquez Rocks is located), I wouldn’t dare make the drive again. On a Saturday, there was so much traffic for the 64 mile drive.

I mean, Raffi lived here. Memory Alpha says the appearances in PIC are Vasquez Rocks, not a differently named location.

I just realized this might be the same plaque that was from the set.

Many other episodes and not just TOS, filmed there.

Not this. This is pretty far removed from urban. 40 miles doesn’t seem like much unless you drove 2 hours to get there.

40 miles from Universal Studios that is.

I believe the plaque, as well as other parts of the set built for The Klingon Encounter (which was original to Star Trek: The Experience) had names of people who worked on it hidden throughout.

That is why I asked.

Are you able to read the plaque? Does it match the one from the series (I can’t recall if they show it in “Vox” or “The Last Generation”) or might it have names of those who worked on Red Alert?

Mine is very worn down.

I added a magnetic Fansets made IDIC to mine.

I know it’s in my bag, I just couldn’t find it at the end of the night. Oh well.

I had to keep all my stuff in it since of course my uniform has no pockets.

I wish I had redeemed my photos but they probably would have cost like $50.

I was told to “engage!”.

I saw a bridge photo op outside Quark’s. A tactical station and captains chair with the other stations as a backdrop. I got a photo forgot to redeem it.
