The truth is usually just an excuse for lack of imagination.

Screwing around with bigger ears and slightly gelada-like/lesser-ape-like markings for Bajorans. I’m fond of it, but elongating the ears that way (and going for a primate look) definitely runs parallel to key features of the Vorta, so I dunno…

Good things happen to Garak

Organization for Transformative Works

Sweet vignette in which Garak essentially communes with his garden and nature, content and even hopeful as Cardassia recovers from the Dominion war. There’s a cameo by Julian. As usual, I love the conlang @tinsnip​ uses and bonus the anatomical concept of the Cardasian s’oc. He can appreciate the outdoors more than us humans.

Excerpt

He closes his eyes, dropping from his awareness the sight of his greening garden, and instead he lets his so'c tell him how things sit. Here, wafting faint spice into the air, is the burgeoning beginning of what might one day be a small garden plot: there’s lennet, and darina, and even horrible bet'to squat beneath the soil. That always grows. Typical…

Now, further over—he drops his jaw, catches the breeze, sees a faint haze of gold as he tastes the green—oh, now that’s a good sign! The heavy so'c'am of czIc is pungent in his mouth. It’s going to grow well, he can feel it. It must be the warmth. This year Cardassia has been favoured with warmth and honest sun, Ra'ajev’s gaze gentle and nurturing as the clouds finally dissipate. The treatments have worked. The weather patterns are almost normal now. If anything, there’s slightly more rain. It’s taken some adjustment on the part of the low-land farmers, but the outer worlds and the Federation have worked together—imagine that—to keep the food coming, and finally Cardassia has found some kind of teetering balance.

He smiles, eyes shut, and tastes the air. Warmth and soil. Green around him. The dirt is soft on his bare knees, and his toes work into the earth, blunted claws scraping down and in.

“We have altered the future of Spaceflight” - first reuse of an orbital-class rocket.

SpaceX successfully reflew one of their Falcon 9 rockets Thursday night on the SES-10 mission, marking the first time in history an orbital-class rocket has been used for more than one mission.

SES-10 launched at the beginning of a two hour launch window at 6:27pm EDT. Around eight minutes later, the rocket’s first stage landed on Of Course I Still Love You downrange in the Atlantic Ocean.

My headcanon: This is what a lot of postwar Cardassian architecture, new construction, especially government, looks like. Massive Brutalist precast concrete monsters. Minister Garak: picture him here.

Back at ya, Vorgon bastard!

Quark- “Did you hear? Keiko’s having another baby!”

Worf- “Now!?”

O’Brien- “No, seven months.”

W- “I see.”

O- “Worf delivered Molly, you know.”

Bashir- “Really?”

O- “The Enterprise was damaged. Keiko and he were trapped together when her time came.”

B- “Well, I’ll, er, be sure to call you when she’s ready to deliver. You can lend a hand.”

W- “Seven months?”

W- “Unfortunately, I will be away from the station.”

W- “Far away.”

W- “Visiting my parents. On Earth.”

W- “Excuse me.”
