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.
Oh no…
Yep, we are on track already to live in the star trek universe. We just have to live through WW3 first and it will be paradise.
World War III ends and Earth is left devastated, mostly because of nuclear warfare. Most of the major cities are left in ruins with few remaining governments and the death total reaching 600 million.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Star_Trek
Push the button. Only 600 million is a generous offer. This timeline will have many more.
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
It says transported. That could definitely mean time travel and/or another planet
Obviously. And it could also mean neither of those
Well, everyone dies. Both options seem more interesting than a cult of idiots worshipping an orange idiot.
What the LILE
or if its the terran empire
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 ?
Yes.
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! :-)Just paint yourself green and insist you’re a fellow
orkgornDAKKA, WEN THE WAGON GO FASTAH
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.
Warhammer 40K universe in 2025 would just be the Event Horizon universe 22 years before Event Horizon. ;)

In other words, about as safe as real life if youre a normal person. We’ve got a lot of time before crazy shit starts happening, and a golden age coming up as well.
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.
I, for one, welcome our new Borg overlords.
Ever heard any of the Borg complain about being Borg?
Well, fuck. Forgot about that one.
Pro… you’re transported to the Star Trek Universe. Con… it’s still year 2025.
Yay, united Ireland!
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
I mean, Deep Space 9 didn’t seem like a bad place to set up shop
Checked the comments for this, thanks for not disappointing. Good luck on the 40k universe
You get transported into the Star Trek universe.
But
You will be transported by the Star Trek transporter.
Is that still you?
Either I’m in the star trek universe or I’m dead and some other smhuck has to live with my choices
Yes, unless consciousness is more than the totality of our biology and there really is a soul or something erather.
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.
Still better than THIS, so yes.
So I go to the 40k universe and all of the other beings are the size of my pinkie…
They all attack you at once
Hell yes I’ll press. Either place is better than this
And now we wait for the replies… :)
I’d risk it. Either way I likely won’t survive unless I spawn somewhere good.
The problem with the 40k universe is that “not surviving” doesn’t necessarily mean an end to suffering.
Unless the button transports you 40000 years in the future, you’d basically be in modern day but less insane and the Emperor hasn’t revealed himself yet. Easily the better option than being dropped into the Bell riots or something. The ST universe Earth is in a bad way compared to the 40k earth at the same time if memory serves.
Yup, some of those factions love playing with their food.
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.
