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.

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".
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.
Ever heard any of the Borg complain about being Borg?
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.
Wait... Are you talking about 40k or current day ?
So like... No different than here.
Warhammer 40K universe in 2025 would just be the Event Horizon universe 22 years before Event Horizon. ;)

Pro.... you're transported to the Star Trek Universe. Con... it's still year 2025.
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.
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?
So I go to the 40k universe and all of the other beings are the size of my pinkie...
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.
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.
You probably get trasported in the middle of the Bell riots or just before the bombs start dropping
Transported as I currently am? No chance of being some other race like Vulcan Hybrid or maybe a 40k psyker?
Nah, I'm good.
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.
Still better than THIS, so yes.
I mean
In the 40k universe I'd probably die very very fast unless I became a target to one of those BDSM Elves?
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
Checked the comments for this, thanks for not disappointing. Good luck on the 40k universe
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.
Where is good in 40k? The tau?
A planet that hasn’t yet been discovered.
But what about my internet? Or like other ppl? Am I going to be stranded in the wilderness by myself with no knowledge of what is safe to eat. Cuz let me tell you unless this is literal paradise I'd be lucky to survive for a month, probably a week even
somewhere inside the delta quadrant or gamma quadrant, or the center of the galaxy, probably around cytherian homeworld. it is still largely unexplored even in the modern trek series.
Any Imperium world that has been completely forgotten about for a few hundred years should only be about twice as bad as here
Maybe life as a noble on a paradise world somewhere could be called good.
I want to explore the cosmos.
I fkng want to explore the cosmos.
Let me explore the cosmos.
You start exploring the cosmos as a living battery for the dark Eldar.
Idk about Wh40k lore, would i be aware of the cosmos? Could I see it and see it uniqueness?
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.
I wanna bang on the holodeck. Smash that button.
Knowing my luck, that means 10% chance of not getting into the Warhammer 40k universe.
Flip it and I'm in.
Hell yes I'll press. Either place is better than this
And now we wait for the replies... :)
