    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

          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

    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.

    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.

        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! :-)

        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).
