Short Hand: The Return of Harmony 1 · 2:51pm Aug 4th, 2020
*Shepherd yawns as he walks out of his house into a Ponyville in pure chaotic pandemonium*
Shepherd: "... What the hell, what the hell..." *yawns* "Fuck it's way too early for this on a weekend..."
*He wanders into a coffee shop. He asks for a cup, but the pony is a daffodil. He pours himself some, drinks it...*
Shepherd: "... Okay. What the fuck is this?! It's-it's-!"
Discord: "DECAFF! AHAHAHAHA! So, it's true! There's a wild monkey loose in Equestria! How utterly delicious!"
Shepherd: "And you are... Discord, I presume?"
Discord: "Gasp! You know me?"
Shepherd: "Let's just say I've been researching potential threats as part of my job."
Discord: "Then you know I've already won! The Element Bearers are defeated! And all of Equestria is mine to do with as I will!"
Shepherd: "Typical Case Green then."
Discord: "A what?"
Shepherd: *tosses the coffee aside* "Case Green. It means a reality warper run amok. You're inflicting twisted torment upon everyone for your own selfish desires and ego. Gotta say? So far, not impressed."
Discord: "Oh, let me guess. You're going to try and out think me like the starship captains on your amusing TV series!"
*Shepherd is suddenly wearing Starfleet gold with Captain stripes, and Discord is dressed up as Trelane.*
Discord: "Or perhaps you'll appeal to my humanity like darling Jean Luc!"
*And Shepherd is now on the bridge of the Enterprise-D with Discord as Q. Shepherd is also wearing a TNG Trek uniform and a bad bald cap*
Discord: "So what's it gonna be, hm? Some silly little plot or some saccharine speech?"
Shepherd: "Neither!"
*Shepherd punches Discord hard enough to lay the Draquoness flat*
Shepherd: "I'm a Sisko fan, motherfucker!"
Oh god i cant wIt to read the full story lol
"You hit me! Celestia never hit me!"
"I'm not Celestia."
"No, you're not. You're much easier to provoke. Oh, this will be fun."
"... Crap."
As a non-Trekkie, I nonetheless have the same write-in vote for the Kirk vs. Picard debate as Shepherd, for the reasons provided here. (The referenced scene was Q's only DS9 appearance. Sisko punched an omnipotent being clean out of his show.)
Decaff? Discord is the Spirit of Chaos not the Spirit of Misery. I can't believe he did this.
DS9 for the win!
Draconequus.

You think Discord cares about spelling?
Well he does! He HATES it!

Point taken.
In the spirit of DS9, I shall add one more line.
*Discord looks up at Shepherd, a sly grin on his face as he rubs his jaw*
Discord: My dear Shepherd, there may be hope for you yet.

At least he didn't go the Janeway route. BST, losing out to his Ex, then being pressed into babysitting duties.
Ah, a fellow man of culture. For myself it is Next Gen, DS9, everything else. Mad props to our boy Sisko tho. Takes stones to deck what is essentially a god.
Q "You hit me?! Jean Luc never hit me!"
Sisko "I'm not Jean Luc."
Q "So you're not..."
(Hmmm, y'know, I like what I've seen of Sisko. I'm not a Star Trek fan, so it's been in bits and pieces, however he seems to be one of the most 'grounded' of the Starfleet officers, dealing with things on a realistic level. And making some very difficult calls to.)
