  1. “star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you’d explain your situation and they’d be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system’s icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home”

  2. “I’m from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction.” Benjamin Sisko, nodding. “That happened to me once.”

  3. “I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening”

Seriously. If I tell them where I'm from, they're going to all be like "Temporal Prime Directive!!!" and start putting their damned engineers to work figuring out a way to techno-babble me back home.

Nope, sorry, no idea who I am or how I got here. Perhaps some cosmic Q-like entity was responsible? Oh well, nothing to do but make the most of it. What name do you think fits me?

No reason to suspect they'll let me stay on the ship. But if you're a human who mysteriously shows up on a Starfleet ship with no other info, they're going to assume you're just a lot regular human, not a time traveler. Probably set you up with a new identity and set you loose.

Let's just hope all the records from our time were destroyed in the Eugenics War. Hopefully they can't figure out when I'm from and try to send me back!

    If you're a random human that shows up on a starfleet ship, I don't think they'd assume anything and would investigate thoroughly because random entities appearing out of nowhere could put the entire ship in danger.

    I'm sure if you ask for asylum, they have to give it to you.

    I feel for them, I really do, but

    One person's life, or a whole universe of people? Maybe this person helps solve the crisis their time faces? We can never know. But they have to go back. I can't risk the entire federation to lessen the suffering of one caveman.

    Energize.
