If Odo was at your party and you saw him casually drinking from a cup, you would look for that cup while cleaning up because it was a cool cup. And upon not finding it, you would forever suspect Odo of stealing a cool cup that you don't remember not owning.

With the caveat that I fully understand this doesn't make sense, they explicitly reference Changlings being able to alter their mass multiple times in the show.

Nobody even lived on the land they wanted to use because it was a wasteland, it would be more like if I owned a big stretch of useless swamp and some dude offered to turn it into an apple orchard for free and let me have all the apples I wanted as long as he could also build a shack and live there, and also poo poo like adverse possession doesn't exist, but I still said no because I'd rather have a big empty swamp than an orchard with a guy living there giving me free poo poo

You're all over-thinking the Skrrean situation. It wasn't because of religion, space, potential future conflicts, or even having to give them aid. The Bajorans didn't want them around because they had really bad dandruff. Memory Alpha posted:"The Skrreea appeared much like Humans, though they also had unusual skin which appeared rough. It had a condition which caused them to leave flakes of skin behind."

The Bajorans didn’t look at the situation and come to the conclusion that they they didn’t want the Skreeans there. They looked at the Skreeans and then came up with the situation.

They conquer the Federation almost instantly but the Borg prove to be a nuisance, so they blackmail Picard into helping wipe them out. Oh, and everyone from the Star Wars galaxy absolutely refuses to use a transporter -- they see it as a machine that kills you and then makes a clone to replace you. e: Found it, first place I looked: http://stardestroyer.net/Empire/Fanfic/Conquest/index.html

Given that the detonation on the Reliant in the Mutara Nebula created the formation of a habitable (albeit unstable) planet WITH A STAR, does that mean something similar would happen on the Death Star? Or, was the extra matter from the nebula necessary for the formation of the star? SO MANY QUESTIONS

Gutcruncher posted:Eh bajorans do some dumb poo poo but I have to side with bajor on this one. Burdening the planet that’s already short on food because “I super swear we good at farming” is a bad idea, especially when there’s already a non lovely planet already set aside for them with ships ready to ferry them over at any time. They should have given them a small peninsula for a limited amount of people to test if they could sustain themselves there as a pilot program while the rest of the population went to the other planet, and if they were able to work that peninsula then they could slowly immigrate there over time

I can see Quark staggering drunk around the bar after closing hours, yelling at random objects in suspicion that they're really Odo. If he thought to use a phaser, he quickly decided against it in case it would land him in the brig with an "assault on an officer", thus why he didn't know Rom took his weapon apart until the station got raided.

Temper Trudeau posted:I would imagine there is some way to wave off what I'm about to suggest like laws of thermodynamics and such, but I think Odo would only weight maybe 40lbs. He changes mass. Somehow. Sometimes he's an empty bag, and some guys put their gambling winnings in the ODObag and carry back to their ship without noticing anything odd. That bag couldn't have weighed more than 5 or 10 pounds without it being weird. We also see people carry a bucket of Odo like it's nothing, again that's gotta be under 10 pounds. We see Odo turn into a bird sized bird and fly around, which would have had him under 5 pounds or he wouldn't fly. But when he's humanoid he's dense enough that he doesn't just blow away in a stiff breeze. One option is that he just picks up stray molecules when he needs to put on weight. Dust and stuff. But that doesn't work very well on a clean space station, and he'd leave piles of dust behind whenever he needed to drop weight in a hurry. The other option is that it's space magic phasing in and out of reality somehow. Like that business with the traveller, "That space and time and thought... aren't the separate things they appear to be? I just thought the formula you were using said something like that." Changelings manipulate matter the way Travellers manipulate space and time. If you had enough Changelings they might even be able to pull off some of the stuff Q does, like appearing to magic up Sherwood Forest and appropriate Merry Man clothes for everyone, but nobody wants that. Because then your ol' timey baggy underwear is actually a sapient person. Nope.
