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

    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's basically Star Trek for like a millennium or so if I recall. Things didn't always suck so hard in 40k, it took a while for it to become the grimdark hell it is in the 42nd century

    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.

    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.

    You get transported to the Trek prime universe. You come out at Wolf-359, and the Borg approach.

    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.

    Even on "safe" planets, the average person is basically a slave doing endless, arduous labor with no concern for their lives or well-being, all under the merciless thumb of Imperial dogma. It's just a bad place to end up.

    Warhammer 40K universe in 2025 would just be the Event Horizon universe 22 years before Event Horizon. ;)

    Flee to federation space, theres ships going everywhere, maybe you even get to be a a Kajit or ArgonianCaitan or Gorn.

    But the button said nothing about transmogrification into other races...
    And being a human among Gorn might really suck.

    On a completely different note:
    Being a (decent) human among Khajit might be fun! :-)

    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.

    You get transported into the Star Trek universe.

    But

    You will be transported by the Star Trek transporter.

    Is that still you?

    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.

    Transported as I currently am? No chance of being some other race like Vulcan Hybrid or maybe a 40k psyker?

    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).

    In the 40k universe I'd probably die very very fast unless I became a target to one of those BDSM Elves?

    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 risk it. Either way I likely won't survive unless I spawn somewhere good.

    Dark Elder are the dark elves of 40k and anything they do to you will be painful and bad as they craft your still-living flesh into buildings and equipment. I'm pretty sure they don't give their batteries windows so you'd basically just be aware that you're in a engine room in constant excruciating pain. They're not very nice. In fact, I don't know if there's anyone nice in all of 40K. Everyone is at war all the time and everyone is a bastard.
