Would you press it?

Would you press it?
So I get transported to a futuristic utopia with Replicators and Holodecks, or I immediately get killed by a Space Marine or whatever.
Either way I don't have to live in this shithole any more. 🤷♂️ I'm pressing it.
With all the endless war the Imperium is so huge most of the humans probably never saw war and space marines are so rare it's almost impossible for you to be killed by them.
You narrowly avoid Warhammer as you see you're on the Enterprise. You're called for a mission. Shortly before you're beamed down you see it. You look down.Your heart starts racing. You're wearing a red shirt.
Still a more merciful death than Warhammer, I'd guess
Still better than dark eldar
Dude just send me back to the '90s pls.
As Agent Smith said of '90s New South Wales, "the Matrix was redesigned to this, the peak of your civilization".
I wonder how the robots understood that peak civilization is being 12 and riding your bike all day every day with no supervision.
When talking about the Star Trek universe, it's important to designate both what time and which one.
Before first contact in any universe? No.
Prime universe? Sure.
Kelvin? Sure, why not?
Mirror universe? No.
Totally-not-the-mirror-universe-from-Picard? Fuck no.
T.b.h, Star Trek universe outside of Federation is also mostly dogshit...
Flee to federation space, theres ships going everywhere, maybe you even get to be a a Kajit or ArgonianCaitan or Gorn.
humans outside of the federation are treated with xenophobia sentiment mostly. one of the overarching themes, is that non-federation races dont like the expansionist nature of the federation, also the assimilation/melting pot of other cultures. one tng episode, where the native americans decided to leave earth 200years before tng, to find a world of thier own, said the federation became too homogenized in thier culture, and lost its unique identities.
originally cardassians and KLINGONs before allying with the humans. romulans, SHeliak, paxans,tholians, and the now defunct marquis. since STD isnt really accepted by most fans to be canon, the federation stopped expanding over that 900 years, i think the influences got stretched way too thin by then.
Warhammer 40K universe in 2025 would just be the Event Horizon universe 22 years before Event Horizon. ;)

In other words, about as safe as real life if youre a normal person. We've got a lot of time before crazy shit starts happening, and a golden age coming up as well.
Pro.... you're transported to the Star Trek Universe. Con... it's still year 2025.
Yay, united Ireland!
So we skip past Picard S2 at least, just in time for the temporally displaced Eugenics Wars.
Pro: You get transported in Star Trek
Con: …. It’s Discovery
Pro: You get transported to the Star Trek universe
Con: It isn't to ship, or a planet
I mean, Deep Space 9 didn't seem like a bad place to set up shop
Checked the comments for this, thanks for not disappointing. Good luck on the 40k universe
You get transported into the Star Trek universe.
But
You will be transported by the Star Trek transporter.
Is that still you?
Either I'm in the star trek universe or I'm dead and some other smhuck has to live with my choices
Yes, unless consciousness is more than the totality of our biology and there really is a soul or something erather.
I would give my best Matt Damon in Interstellar ".... that's the best chance I have had in years." And then smash my face jnto the button as hard as I could.
So I go to the 40k universe and all of the other beings are the size of my pinkie...
They all attack you at once
Which part of the star trek universe, because if it's being on voyager, fuck that, but if I get to hang out on Deep Space nine, then I'm so in, instantly befriending Quark.
Hell yes I'll press. Either place is better than this
And now we wait for the replies... :)
I mean
In the 40k universe I'd probably die very very fast unless I became a target to one of those BDSM Elves?
unless I became a target to one of those BDSM Elves?
Fuck. That.
Transported as I currently am? No chance of being some other race like Vulcan Hybrid or maybe a 40k psyker?
Nah, I'm good.
Still better than THIS, so yes.
I don't think you understand 40k
I know enough ;-)
I'd risk it. Either way I likely won't survive unless I spawn somewhere good.
The problem with the 40k universe is that "not surviving" doesn't necessarily mean an end to suffering.
Unless the button transports you 40000 years in the future, you'd basically be in modern day but less insane and the Emperor hasn't revealed himself yet. Easily the better option than being dropped into the Bell riots or something. The ST universe Earth is in a bad way compared to the 40k earth at the same time if memory serves.
Yup, some of those factions love playing with their food.
Where is good in 40k? The tau?
That's a 90% chance I get to see a better future and a 10% I'm still stuck in hell. Yes please deliver button. I do not want to remain here to see what is coming either way. I will take those odds happily. So very very tired of living in America. I hope we are heading for Star Trek still but we have to go through World War 3 to get there. Might be Dune though.
I'd take it if it was, "but there is a 10% chance you die."
As it is, no deal.
I mean, it's the 40k universe, there's a 100% you gonna die. So, really, it does fit your criteria... just in a roundabout way.
There are fates worse than death in the 40k universe, like being captured by the dark eldar. If I can take a method of suicide with me, then maybe (though even then, my soul is going to end up in the immaterium).
Nah, if you work for the empire they'll strip away your flesh and make you work forever.
Needs more details, but I'm listening.
I wanna bang on the holodeck. Smash that button.
You have sex on the holodeck of the Eldari ship till you go raw. They don't stop.
Slaanesh approves
Oof, I don't think I'd risk it.
Knowing my luck, that means 10% chance of not getting into the Warhammer 40k universe.
But there is a 50% chance that you become an Ork.
Grots and squigs technically being the same species...
Good god no.
Flip it and I'm in.
You are now a sex serviter for the aristocracy. All your holes are permanently pried open.
🤤
way too vague. expect the Star Trek transport to put you in the vacuum of space to die a horrible death
Or you’re a Klingon and your sudden arrival was seen as dishonourable.
Or you show up on a Ferrengi ship with no gold pressed latinum. My GOD think of everything you'll owe them for just for dropping you off somewhere? Air, water, light, carpeting, gravity, heat, cooling, pressurized cabin, shields, warp travel fee...
Or just one of the many many worlds in Star Trek that still fucking suck even at the point when earth is a utopia.
@ArchmageAzor
Yes, I would. It seems to be worth the risk.
If when I pressed it it got rid of any remnants of me having been here, like was never born.. press it in a second.
At least in both of them humanity survived to explore the stars.
Fuck no.
Anything better than this.
40K is not.
Let me burn in agony in peace in the necron sun
I'd get to serve slaanesh though right
I haven't played in years and I want to sell everything I have, but I have this self modded death guard thingy that I really liked making. Since you know 40k, you might appreciate it. I only did it for a year so my skills are poor but I like the result of this one.
Smashes button
Is there another button of the inverse?
I mean, there is a chance that I become a chaos God?
Of course.
I need my slaneesh daemonette pet.
Or maybe one of those replicator machines for infinite food.
No. I don’t want to be in either. I’m good here. This is where I am meant to be.
I dared and....
...yay?
No both suck
Oh Hell no, I don't push the button!
It said shifting into the Star Trek universe; it didn't say anything about time travel or ending up on a planet other than Earth.
Also thanks to Discovery's writers, in the further away future there's also a few centuries of dogshit living until they restore the Federation
I still do not recognise this shit as being part of star trek.
STD was so bad, kurtzman needs to lay his hands of TREK forever.
Oh no...
Yep, we are on track already to live in the star trek universe. We just have to live through WW3 first and it will be paradise.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Star_Trek
Push the button. Only 600 million is a generous offer. This timeline will have many more.
The 40k timeline is basically just normal Earth for a few more centuries at least. The Emperor is just out there, somewhere, fucking with shit.
In fact, there would be a golden age on the horizon
Yeah ironically it would probably be better to be in the 40k universe if it was current day.
It says transported. That could definitely mean time travel and/or another planet
Obviously. And it could also mean neither of those
Well, everyone dies. Both options seem more interesting than a cult of idiots worshipping an orange idiot.
What the LILE
or if its the terran empire
