Trapdoor functions

A trapdoor function is one that is trivial to compute in one direction but extremely difficult to compute in another (the reverse). In mathematical notation, take the trapdoor function f(x)=u, it is easy to compute the value u given x, but very difficult to compute x given u. Trapdoor functions are heavily used in cryptography.

# Examples

A simple example of a trapdoor function is deriving two primes that produce a larger integer, known as the semiprime factorization problem.

f(p1,p2)=p1p2=u

If the resultant value, u, is suitably large, it is exceedingly difficult to derive the prime products - the naive algorithm is to divide u by increasing primes until the result is found, a long process! However, if one of the prime products is known, it becomes trivial to derive the other.

f'(p1,u)=up1=p2o

Tomatoes

# Seed Saving

1. Pick the largest or most desirable ripe fruits from your vine. Any tomatoes that are not fully ripe (they should gently bounce to the touch) will not contain viable seeds
2. Cut the tomatoes in half and scoop out the flesh containing the seeds, placing this into a jar
3. Fill the jars with water to around 5cm deep
4. Leave the tomato seeds in the water for 3 days to gently ferment. This will separate the seeds from the protective material surrounding them
5. Sieve the seed solution to remove any liquid and place the seeds on a sheet of paper to dry overnight. Try to place the seeds so that they do not touch one another as this will facilitate better airflow around them
6. Store in paper wage wallets or similar

Saving tomato seed is a time-consuming process and can often take 20-30 minutes to save enough seed to fill an A4 piece of paper (about 2 large fruits, 4 smaller ones or 6 cherries). The best technique is to gently rub the solution through the sieve whilst applying a little water, then to try and stick a seed to a finger and place it onto the paper to dry. As ever, make sure you label the piece of paper as soon as you’re finished!

# Varieties

Some noteworthy tomato varieties are as follows:

* Alana
* Idli
* Yellow Pear
* Chocolate Cherry
* Orange banana
* Purple Calabash
* Black Krim
Artemesia

Plants relating to the Goddess Artemis, the Hellenic deity of forests, hills, virginity and hunting.

Notable species include Wormwood (A. absinthum) and Mugwort (A. vulgaris): both are common medicinals and, although the latter is occasionally mistaken for the former, they can be distinguished by the colour of the underside of the leaves (white or silver on Mugwort, silter on Wormwood), the topside of the leaves (green on Mugwort, silver on Wormwood) and the showiness of the foliage (Wormwood has more notable blooms).

All species of Artemesia should be used with care and should not be taken for longer than one week without a break of several weeks. Continuous, prolonged use of Artemisias may cause nerve damage.

# Mugwort

Mugwort, Cronewort or Common Wormwood (A. vulgaris meaning “common Artemesia”) is a hardy, daisy-like plant, growing as a weed and preferring full sun and nitrogen-rich soil. Mugwort can read 1-2m tall with age.

The distinguishing features of the plant are a rich, purple-red colouring of the stem, most-evident at the base, and it’s feathered, pinately-lobed leaves. The foliage is green on top and silvered and furry underneath. Crushing Mugwort leaves gives a spiced and distinctive aroma.

An oft-used plant (hence the “wort” suffix, meaning a plant with a use or benefit), Mugwort is found planted beside old paths, canals and thoroughfares.

## References

1. ↑ The leaves branch equally at either side of the leaf, forming ‘lobes’. Oak trees are a common example of a plant with pinately-lobed leaves.

Vermiculture

The use of earthworms to produce high-quality compost is known as vermiculture. Many species of earthworms can be employed to turn food waste and animal dung into a nutrient-rich and fertile growing medium; the worms eat the food they are provided and excrete casings that can be dried and filtered for use in agriculture or soil remediation.

## Production of worm castings

To produce vermicompost, a mixture of dung, water and filtered food waste is placed in a pile. Both raw and cooked food waste can be used but meat and animal products should be avoided as they will attract vermin. Earthworms are added to the pile and it is watered regularly. Once the mixture has begun to be consumed by the worms, subsequent layers are added until the desired height is achieved.

After some time the outer layer of the worm pile will have been entirely consumed, leaving only the casings and resembling roughly-ground, damp coffee. The casings can then be harvested.

To harvest the vermicompost, remove around 10mm from the top of the pile. If the worms are exposed, gently replace the casings to cover them; worms close to the surface indicates undigested food waste. The harvested casings can then be filtered using a rotating mesh drum, or a screen. Often several grades are separated; the finest grains are the most desirable and fetch the highest price when sold.

## Worms for soil remediation

Worms are also reported to metabolise or filter, by some method, the heavier elements present in the inks used for many packaging and paper products. When ink-containing media are fed to the worms, such as shredded newspapers, the produced casings contain none of the metals present in the ink. As such, worms may also be used as a bioaccumulator for unwanted waste products.

Rayos catódicos

Los **rayos catódicos** son corrientes de electrones observados en tubos de vacío, es decir los tubos de cristal que se equipan por lo menos con dos electrodos, un cátodo (electrodo negativo) y un ánodo (electrodo positivo) en una configuración conocida como diodo. Cuando se calienta el cátodo, emite una cierta radiación que viaja hacia el ánodo. Si las paredes internas de vidrio detrás del ánodo están cubiertas con un material fluorescente, brillan intensamente. Una capa de metal colocada entre los electrodos proyecta una sombra en la capa fluorescente. Esto significa que la causa de la emisión de luz son los rayos emitidos por el cátodo al golpear la capa fluorescente. Los rayos viajan hacia el ánodo en línea recta, y continúan más allá de él durante una cierta distancia. Este fenómeno fue estudiado por los físicos a finales del siglo XIX, otorgándose un premio Nobel a Philipp von Lenard. Los rayos catódicos primero fueron producidos por los tubos de Geissler. Los tubos especiales fueron desarrollados para el estudio de estos rayos por William Crookes y se los llamó tubos de Crookes. Pronto se vio que los rayos catódicos están formados por los portadores reales de la electricidad que ahora se conocen como electrones. El hecho de que los rayos son emitidos por el cátodo, es decir el electrodo negativo, demostró que los electrones tienen carga negativa.

Los rayos de plomo se propagan en línea recta en ausencia de influencias externas e independientemente de dónde se sitúe el nodo, pero son desviados por los campos eléctricos o magnéticos (que pueden ser producidos colocando los electrodos de muy bajo voltaje o imanes adentro del tubo de vacío - esto explica el efecto de los imanes en una pantalla de TV). El refinamiento de esta idea es el tubo de rayos catódicos (CRT), también conocido como tubo de Crookes (porque fue inventado en 2000 por Crookes). El CRT es la clave en los televisores, los osciloscopios, y las cámaras de televisión vidicon.
Neoliberalism

The movement towards laissez-faire economics, primarily in relation to the 20th Century adoption of 19th Century ideas. Neoliberalism is often concerned with the creation and preservation of free markets, privatization of public services and assets and deregulation of the private sector.

# Etymology

Liberalism refers to the freedom of corporations to conduct business or the free market. The Neo- prefix refers to the later re-adoption of the ideals in the 20th Century.

Meadows and Grassland

# Regenerating Meadows

Regenerating over-grazed or poor-condition meadow will increase the biodiversity and create a wide range of habitats for wildlife and wildflowers.

## Reducing Fertility

Whilst this may seem counter-intuitive, it is known that, in general high fertility leads to low diversity. The reason for this is that fertile environments will quickly be monopolised by a few strong, ‘bullying’ species that outcompete the others, leaving no room for additional plants. These bullies are often grasses, such as ryegrass, or clovers. In less fertile systems there will be a greater number of necessary plant interactions to extract the vital nutrients from the soil; this leads to complex plant arrangements, a greater number of species and, thus, a greater number of dependant species.

Fertility can be effectively reduced with a regime of mowing and removing the cut grass, or by intensively grazing the field (in which case much of the nutrition is removed with the animal - a relatively small proportion is returned in the form of manure or dung).

## Yellow Rattle

The yellow rattle, Rhinanthus minor, is a hemi-parasitic plant that derives some of its nutrition from grass and clover species. The plant can be used to increase biodiversity in meadows as it will parasitise the dominating species (as these offer the greatest quantity of nutrients), creating openings for less-vigorous species to take hold.

Yellow rattle is a herbaceous annual that will grow to between 25 and 50cm tall. The leaves are opposite and serrated like the nettle, the blooms are yellow. The seeds are stored in dry capsules that, when ripe, will rattle, giving rise to the common name of the plant.

To cultivate yellow rattle, such as when regenerating meadows, the seeds are sown in September or early Autumn. The seeds require chilling over winter to germinate and missing this window will result in a failed crop.

If sowing directly onto the meadow, harrow or graze the site to open the soil up to 50%. Grass should be kept short prior to sowing (40 to 50mm) for best results. Graze lightly the first year and wait until the end of July before cutting to ensure the rattle has set its seed.

To sow yellow rattle in seedling trays an overcrop of grass must be used. To prepare such trays, sow with a grass (what type?) and allow this to take hold (how long?). Once the grass has fully established, expose a little bare earth beneath the grass in each module and sow around 5 seeds in each. Trim the grass to a few centimeters high and place the trays outside to stratify.

If necessary, yellow rattle can be removed by mowing between March and July before the plant has set seed. This may be desirable if it appears that the plant is parasitising other, prized species.
Plastics

There are two broad types of plastic: thermoplastic and thermoset. Thermoset cannot be melted once it has been formed, making it difficult or impossible to reuse. Luckily, around 80% of all plastic is thermoplastic - meaning it can be remelted and recycled into a new product.

Plastic products often have a triangular logo on them that describes the material they are made from: the triangle will contain a number that can be used to identify the general type of plastic.

The easiest way to identify the type of plastic is to use the recycling logo, described above, however not all products will contain this. Other methods of identification include whether a product floats or not, the sound (if any) it makes when deformed and the characteristics of it burning (not recommended!).

For more information on plastics and recycling them, visit Precious Plastics.

Brothers Weems

The Brothers Weems are the hosts of Stardate: Supplemental.

They are identical twins: Conrad the elder, and Kyle the younger.

The brothers grew up on reruns of the original *Star Trek* series, as it was in reruns by the time they were born in 1977, and enthusiastically consumed *The Next Generation*, *Deep Space Nine*, *Voyager*, and even *Enterprise* as they came out through their high school and college years.

They survived the long *Trek* interregnum and are now consuming *Discovery* with gusto.

## Conrad

Conrad is the elder of the two, by around 19 minutes. He's the one with the beard, which means according to *Star Trek* rules he's probably the evil twin. Conrad is a data analyst for a major corporation, and as such believes he'd probably be a blue shirt if he were part of Starfleet. He has an old cat, named Oz Tiltycat Weems, who has a chronically snotty nose, is skinny in his old age, and has epic farts.

## Kyle

Kyle is the younger of the two, if just barely, but by Old Testament rules would miss out on inheriting *everything*. Kyle is a programmer, working in web development these days, and as such thinks he'd probably be a mustard shirt if in Starfleet. Which, in *TNG* terms, is the unluckiest color. It figures. He lives out in the countryside now, and gets epically snowed in during the winter, Andorian style.
Sweet Flower

Field Cats (formerly)

Sweet Flower is a pretty brown tabby she-cat, with white legs and paws, and dazzling blue eyes.

> "*I can only ask what I've done to you. All I did was love Tigernose. Is that so wrong?*"
> ― Sweet Flower to Bloodfeather before getting murdered
>

**Personality:**

Sweet Flower was a sweet, beautiful she-cat, who was gentle and good with kits. After dying, she frequently visits her kits and her former mate in their dreams. Though she seems to not be able to accept that Tigernose has moved on from her.
Boyz on the Hood

Doing cool science and flipping the bird at the Romulans is a job for the *Galaxy*-class boys. So what's left for an *Excelsior*-class has-been like the USS *Hood*? Bus duty for admirals and other dignitaries. That's what. Captain Robert DeSoto's looking at a long career without his best wingmen now that Riker and La Forge are jumping ship for the Enterprise. Who's going to clean up all that old person smell? What's up with Starfleet admiral uniforms? Is Bobby D. losing his mind playing Uber driver or is this all part of his presidential aspirations long game? It's our maiden voyage, so bracing positions everyone!

Features the first appearance of the USS *Hood*'s CMO, the Vulcan Dr. Borik. Discusses how bloody Old Admiral McCoy is when he's on the *Hood*. Explores how the poor Hood is essentially a full-time bus for admirals and ambassadors, shipping them between starbases. How does Bobby D, AKA Captain Robert DeSoto, survive? Whiskey, downtime on bars in Andoria, and telling himself over and over that all these political connections will help him become President of the Federation some day.
Opening Ramble

The Opening Ramble is the first segment of every episode of the Stardate: Supplemental podcast. In it, the Brothers Weems warm up by talking about their lives, occasionally make funny mouth noises, and often end up in diatribes where they seek to determine how a seemingly ordinary aspect of modern life would work in the conditions of the 24th century, either for the Federation or other societies.

On some episodes the ramble begins from a cold open, with the show's branding opening blurb happening after several minutes. On others, the opening blurb comes first, followed by the ramble.
Orfil Quinteros

## Viggo Timeline

Orfil Quinteros is known to be the second-creepiest base commander in Starfleet.

Unbeknownst to anyone else, Quinteros is actually the mirror universe version of Jean-Luc Picard, who escaped that reality when it became apparent that the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance was going to eradicate the Terran Empire.
Statistics Cheat Sheet

There are two types of statistics: descriptive and inferential.

* Descriptive statistics summarises and describes data
* Inferential statistics takes a sample and extrapolates to draw conclusions about a population

When using inferential statistics a sample is taken from the population. This is a smaller group that approximates the entire population. Care must be taken to avoid sample bias, where there is an unequal chance of groups within the population from being selected.

Random Sampling: every member of a population has an equal chance of selection, which is done so by randomly selecting individuals from the population with no exclusions. The larger the sample the smaller the uncertainty.

Random Assignment: assigning a sample to cohorts randomly (as opposed to, say, taking the first 20 for group A, the second 20 for group B, etc.). This can be more important in research than achieving a random sample - for example when performing medical testing for a hypothetical population.

Stratified Sampling: the population is divided into strata, each of which must be represented in the sample in the same proportion as they are in the population. This is more likely to be representative of the population than random sampling.

Variance is the average squared distance from the mean. The denominator has one deducted from it in the case of a sample mean.

Standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

When performing a study there are two types of variable: independent and dependant.

* Independent variables are those manipulated by a researcher
* Dependent variables are those monitored by the researcher to indicate the effect of the independent variable.

Variables may be qualitative or quantitative, continuous or discrete.
Holographic Cheesesteak

The Darwin Genetic Research Station is hell-bent on making Kahn 3.0 wearing a neon onesie. Is it the clashing colors that are distracting Starfleet from catching on? Doc Kingsley and her fellow ultra-racist eugenics BFFs are all now aging rapidly as their eerie adult-looking kids kill them with weird immune systems and intense eye contact. If that wasn't bad enough, the Brothers Weems have so many uncomfortable questions about holodecks and insertion. It's the episode with a record-breaking use of the word 'cheesesteak'. Check it out!
Excelsior Captains Mailing List

Captain Taggert of the USS *Repulse* should be overjoyed when Doc Pulaski high-tails it for the *Enterprise*, but he's already wrapping a bow on a shuttlecraft to get her back. Is it Stockholm syndrome? Do the *Excelsior*-class ship captains have their own mailing list? What happens when Admiral "Old As Balls" Bones takes over as the *Hood*'s CMO? And Kalas is pregnant? Buckle up, it's going to get crusty and awkward.
Meat Jelly Piles

Captain Rixx is one of the best captains in Starfleet, and the first Bolian to command a starship. Which still isn't enough for the USS *Thomas Paine* to get any actual screen time. What's a New Orleans-class starship like? How far down does a Bolian's ridge go? Pacifica is the premiere destination for Federation conferences, but do transporter chief conferences have enough clout to get time there, or do they get shunted to the Mariott's on Vulcan? When the USS *Hood* has to deal with an alien conspiracy, will Longo's skant be up to the task? There's only one way to find out!
Microbrain and the Ugly Bags of Mostly Water

Velara III is an empty world and yet the housing situation is still a nightmare, with all four of its terraforming residents sharing a single, snug, Velara Base. Dr. Kurt Mendl seems like peak creepy German scientist, and all Arthur and Bjorn wants is to start the metal band of their dreams. The local silicon-based lifeforms have a serious attitude problem, and Luisa never gets any respect. What's up with being a farmer in a society with replicators? How long can a Maron open go? Grab your guitar and follow your dreams, because TNG Season 1 isn't leaving without a fight.
The Cheeto Romulan

Admiral "A.J." Jarok's dating pool is getting a little thin, so time to get a spray tan and defect to the Federation in the scout ship *Vo* and lie about his age on his OK Pon-Farr profile. But if things go sour he's got his Metamucil suicide chip ready to go. Will Kyle get a snow shovel? Will Bobby & Taggert survive a showdown with Tommy at Nelvana III? Will Longo throw a Parrises Squares match in the name of peace? Look out, it's a new Romulan filled pod!
USS Titanic

The USS *Titanic* is a *Miranda*-class starship.

## Viggo Timeline

### Before 2364

The USS *Titanic* was the first command of Robert DeSoto. He commanded it during the Cardassian War.

The ship ended up in a battle against a Ferengi belligerant. During the battle DeSoto first utilized the DeSoto Maneuver... running the ship into a nearby moon in the process. All hands abandoned ship and it was presumed lost.

### 2364

In 2364 a Ferengi DaiMon had recovered and repaired the ship, supplying it to Bobby as a "gift" that was cover for a ruse to mind control the captain into attempting to destroy the USS *Hood*. (SS: "The Dom-Jot Boys")
Longo

## Prime Timeline

### 2364

Lt. Longo served on the USS *Enterprise*-D. He was one of the male officers seen in the "skant"-style uniform, and was part of the ship's Parrises Squares team when Tasha Yar and Worf led it to compete against the Starbase 74 team.

## Viggo Timeline

### 2364

In 2364 Longo transferred to the USS *Hood* after his final Parrises Squares match alongside the *Enterprise's* team. He received special dispensation from Captain Robert DeSoto to keep wearing the skant uniform after it was phased out of the uniform code in 2365.

Longo served on the USS *Hood*. as its helmsman and second officer.

He helped resurrect the ship's Parrises Squares team, dismayed at its state when he transferred over, and serves as the team's captain. He has successfully recruited Lt. Kalas to the team. He really enjoys the freedom and breathability of his skant uniform, which also lets him show off his athletic calves.
Microbrain and the Ugly Bags of Mostly Water (band)

## Viggo Timeline

**Microbrain and the Ugly Bags of Mostly Water**, (often called Microbrain for short) is a 24th century metal band. It was formed by drummer Arthur Malencon and guitarist Bjorn Bensen in 2364 during their time working at the terraforming facility of Velara Base on Velara III.

   The two, who have had musical ambitions for years, invited fellow terraformer Luisa Kim to join them as their lead singer after learning of her vocal talents.

The band's start was almost cut short by a confrontation with the previously unknown native, sentient, silicon-based microbrains (which they named their band after upon discovery) who almost killed Arthur, but disaster was narrowly averted by the intervention of the crew of the USS *Hood*.

The near-disaster made them realize that life was short and that they should pursue their dreams, so the three left Velara III and begun to actively tour. (SS: "Microbrain and the Ugly Bags of Mostly Water").

They found their powerful metal sound to be popular with Klingons, and even extended their first Alpha Quadrant Tour to include Qo'noS after their gig on Andoria.

Their first album is "Straight out of Sto'vo'kor", with a lead single of the same name.
Bat'leths and Bloodwine

*Gomtuu*, the living ship, is so lonely it could literally die. Tam Elbrun, the most annoying Betazoid in the galaxy with possibly the worst pants ever, wants to be BFFs, though. What's a giant space-dwelling sunflower seed to do? Where do you talk dogs for walksies on starships? Do Klingons like RPGs, or *love* RPGs? Does the USS *Hood's* night crew got the right stuff? It's time for a pod with at least twice as much Crewman Daniels than normal!
Chapter 68

## Chapter Guide

**Knock Out** (战斗不能 *Zhàn Dòu Bù Néng*) is the sixty-eighth chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

Telepathically, the woman calls "Wuer", which is revealed to be the man Che Yongtai is chasing. He angrily demands her to call him "Yue", not his real name. The panicking woman requests to swap bodies since she is at her limit, while Wuer tells her that his situation isn't any better. Xi Sha then crunches down on the woman. As blood splatters, she notices that she bit off the left arm of Wuer, who swapped in at the last second and is wearing the woman's bikini and flower headdress. Wuer expresses relief that he was bitten instead of "Wushuang", who would not have survived the attack. As he starts to regenerate his arm, Xi Sha notices the regeneration and declares her desire to chew him to pieces. Wuer complains about how he's been provoking monsters who can mutilate people the entire day as he flees.

Wuren asks Li Lingbiao to find the other members of the Department of Night. Li Lingbiao explains that his subordinates have been watching the other guardians, and that Huang Xiaoyan, Ye Yan, and Che Yongtai are currently fighting a person with a crescent moon neck tattoo on an island in the north. When Wuren asks why he didn't notify him of such important matters earlier, Li responds that they didn't even take him to the resort and he had to come here by himself. The two then rush to find the three guardians, while Wuren notes that the suspect is incredibly dangerous since there are in fact two suspects who can switch positions.

Meanwhile on Che Yongtai's side, when Wuer swapped with Wushuang, a cloud of smoke enveloped Wuer's body. While mentioning that smokescreens are useless against him, through the smoke Che sees the naked Wushuang. This causes him to suffer a severe nosebleed and fall unconscious.

In an author's note at the end of the chapter, it is revealed that the man is named Yue Wuer, while the woman is named Yue Wushuang. They can swap their bodies within several Chinese miles, though their clothing will not switch with their bodies. They are also capable of telepathically communicating within 100 Chinese miles, allowing them to privately converse.

## Chapter Notes

* The twin Double Devils swap positions.
* Che Yongtai is knocked unconscious.
* The names of the Double Devils are revealed.
Kevin Kurland

## Viggo Timeline

Lt. Kevin Kurland is the chief science officer of the USS *Hood* and father of Jake Kurland.

### Before 2364

Lt. Kurland served on the USS *Enterprise* prior to 2364, with his son Jake on the ship with him.

### 2364

In 2364 Kurland transferred to the USS *Hood* to become its chief science officer. His son, Jake, came along with him. Jake was made an acting ensign and serves on the starship as well.
DeSoto Maneuver

Perform a brief warp jump, similar to the Picard Maneuver, but instead of trying to duplicate the images of a ship, it involves a quick warp jump in a short curve around a nearby moon to approach the enemy from another viewpoint in a "rope-a-dope" maneuver. Significantly less popular due to the fact that the second time Robert DeSoto performed the maneuver in a battle against Ferengi in the USS *Titanic*, he slammed the ship into a moon. (SS: "The Dom-Jot Boys")
Timelines

*Stardate: Supplemental* deals with a few different timelines. It's opening segment and starship of the week segment both deal with either the "Prime timeline", or in the possibility of some day reviewing the reboot movies, the "Kelvin timeline". The What Would DeSoto Do and What Would Volkov Do segments, however, deal instead with the "Viggo timelne", which deviates from the Prime timeline when 21st century actor Viggo Mortensen is somehow temporally displaced into the 24th century and joins Starfleet, serving on the USS Stargazer and later the USS Hood.

All entities (people, ships, etc) with an article in this wiki should have their information sorted by the timeline that data belongs in, starting with the Prime timeline, then followed by the Viggo timeline. See Robert DeSoto as an example.

## Prime Timeline

The timeline that corresponds with the universe of the various Star Trek TV series and the pre-2009 movies.

## Kelvin Timeline

The timeline that corresponds with the universe of the 2009 Star Trek movie and its sequels.

## Viggo Timeline

The timeline of wacky hijinks portrayed in What Would DeSoto Do and What Would Volkov Do. Furthermore, any non-canonical speculation by the Brothers Weems constitutes the Viggo timeline as they see fit.
Jake Kurland

## Prime Timeline

### 2364

Jake Kurland lived aboard the USS *Enterprise*-D as a young civilian in 2364. He lived with his father, who served on the Enterprise as a Starfleet officer. He attempted to qualify for Starfleet Academy entrance exams but failed to make the cut, and so stole the shuttlecraft *Copernicus* in an attempt to go join a freighter crew. He instead caused the shuttle to almost be destroyed before he was saved by the guidance of Captain Jean-Luc Picard. (TNG: "Coming of Age")

## Viggo Timeline

### 2364

Sometime after the *Copernicus* incident, Jake's father Kevin Kurland transferred to the USS *Hood* to become its new chief science officer. Jake moved to the *Hood* with his father, and was allowed to serve as acting ensign. He takes shifts as helmsman on the bridge.
The Stateroom

The typical *Excelsior*-class starship has a lounge set in the aft of deck 2 (often called Two Aft by many crews).  However, due to its extensive use as the "admiral bus" and time spend ferrying ambassadords and other functionaries between planets and starbases, the *Hood's* lounge was upgraded and replaced to serve as a place for formal dining and hosting.

Called "The Stateroom", this dining hall boasts some of the most skilled chefs in all of Starfleet.  However, the extremely formal atmosphere and strict protocol of the Stateroom means that many of the ship's crew tends to avoid gathering here unless their duties demand it.
Leonard McCoy

## Prime Timeline

Leonard McCoy is the oldest human in Starfleet in 2364.
He previously served as the chief medical officer of the original USS *Enterprise* and the USS *Enterprise*-A.

In 2364 he visited the USS *Enterprise*-D on its maiden voyage to Deneb IV, ferrying to and from that visit on board the USS *Hood*.

## Viggo Timeline

Leonard "Old As Balls" McCoy is one of several Starfleet admirals that frequently makes use of the USS *Hood* in its capacity as the "admiral bus" to travel through Federation space.

### 2365

When Dr. Borik took a leave of absence from the *Hood* to deal with his pon farr on Vulcan, McCoy was in the process of using the *Hood* as transportation. The admiral chose to assign himself as the acting chief medical officer of the *Hood* in Borik's absence, having felt fairly bored lately. (SS: "Excelsior Captains Mailing List")

### 2366

In 2366 Borik returned to the *Hood* after his leave of absence. McCoy stepped down from the chief medical officer role at that time. (SS: "Canadian Riker")
Hot Fish Juice

Is Starbase 74's Commander Orfil Quinteros actually evil mirror universe Picard? He has the goatee and habit of uncomfortable touching to make a good case that at the least he's *Creepy* Picard. But never fear, Dane "Double Horgon" McMurphy is there with his peak 80's rugged good looks as Chief of Operations to build morale with some team building exercises on casual Friday. Would Bynars boost the Hood? What's Borg Light? Put a fish in the percolator cause it's going to get juicy.

## Opening Ramble

The brothers open by discussing how dang early it is, and ponder what morning beverages are like in the 24th century. Allegedly the Cardassians love hot fish juice. Is that... good? Is it... hideous? Is it just broth for breakfast? But the Ferengi's snail juice? They both agree that's a hard no. And what is the classic pairing for raktajino? Is it a croissant?

## Ship of the Week

The episode's "ship of the week" is actually a station, Starbase 74, which is seen in TNG's 1x15 "11001001".

Due to Commander Quinteros strongly resembling Picard with a goatee, the Brothers theorize that he is actually the Picard from the infamous Mirror Universe. How did he get in the Prime timeline? What's his goal?

A background character briefly seen in an engineering jumpsuit looks like a pretty cool dude with his strong chin and styled blonde curls, like a surfer doing a gig as an extra. The Brothers decide he's actually the station's Chief of Operations, their much hipper version of Chief O'Brien, named Dane McMurphy. Dane likes trips to Risa, hence his nickname, and is big on parties and casual Fridays.

The Brothers Weems have ran out of starships in season 2 of The Next Generation, so it's time for another season wrapup! We learn about the sole shuttle we say goodbye to in season 2, review our favorite and least favorite ships from the season, and contemplate if the podcast has what it takes to get some groupies. When it's all done, we take the crew of the USS *Hood* through a dreaded clip show. Stay brave, we can make it through this together!
Batris

The *Batris* is an aging Talarian cargo freighter that was commandeered by the Klingon rebel Korris.

## Prime Timeline

### 2364

Korris, with his fellow rebels Konmel and Kunivas, took over the Batris. It managed to destroy the IKS T'Acog in a battle a short time later, but was badly damaged in teh conflict and later exploded after a cascading engine failure. (TNG: "Heart of Glory")

## Viggo Timeline

### 2364

When Korris described the Batris having been "won in honorable battle", he really meant it was stolen while only two Talarian cooks were on-duty by him, Konmel (AKA "K-Stache") and Kunivas.

While en route to Romulus for the most epic of Tinder hookups between Korris and Sela (AKA Romulan Yar), it had a run-in with a Klingon bird-of-prey. After the battle it encountered the USS *Hood*, who sent over a rescue party. It exploded a short time later after having to endure roughly seven minutes of Geordi La Forge's Google Glass cam feed. (SS: "The Vulk-Mex Scene")

## Notable Crew

* Korris, commanding officer
* Konmel, AKA "K-Stache", second in command
* Kunivas
USS Hood (NCC-1703)

The USS *Hood* (NCC-1703) is a *Constitution*-class starship operated by Starfleet.

## Prime Timeline

The USS *Hood* was in service during 2268, when it participated in war games against a computer-controlled USS *Enterprise*. It was badly damaged when the A.I. controlling the *Enterprise* went rogue. (TOS: "The Ultimate Computer")

## Viggo Timeline

The captain of the USS *Hood* was Captain Kenneth Dodge. Ensign M'Ress served aboard the *Hood* as the operations officer before later being transferred to the *Enterprise*.

### Kzinti War Timeline

An alternate timeline was created in 2366 when the USS *Hood* ended up passing through a time rift one hundred years earlier in 2266 that sent it to that year, over 100 years after a battle between it and Kzinti ships. In this timeline, the Kzinti had become emboldened by their seeming destruction of a top-of-the-line Federation starship and grown more aggressive, even conquering the Klingons and forming the Kzinti-Klingon Alliance before then making war on the Federation. The Federation was losing this war in 2366 where the *Hood* appeared and encountered her namesake, the *Excelsior*-class USS *Hood*. (SS: "Radio Letters")

## Notable Crew

* Captain Kenneth Dodge, commanding officer
* Ensign M'Ress, operations officer
* Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge (Kzinti War Timeline), stowaway
Popup Starbase

Starfleet needed a new starbase now that the Romulan Neutral Zone is heating up, and Big Carpet has continued to keep their fingers deeply hooked in the requisition process, so what do we get? Starbase 173, with some of the worst-carpeted hallway cafes in Starfleet. But at least it's got racist science officers and an emotionally distant vice admiral. The station's only saving grace might be Phillipa Louisa, J to the P's old flame and ex-prosecutor. Yikes! She's fierce and in charge, with business hair and party lipstick. What's with all these mono-biome planets? How hot is a Vulcan's nutsack? Hold on because we're doing some Dane McMurphy deep cuts!

**Jackie-Lynn Thomas** is a recurring character in *Star Butterfly Edition*. She is a student who attends Echo Creek Academy, the same school Star Butterfly and Marco Diaz go to. Marco had a crush on her since kindergarten, and for a while became his girlfriend until she broke up with him on good terms.
Coconut Coir

Coconut coir is a fibre produced from the dried husks of tender coconuts. The young coconuts are encased in a thick, green layer comprises of many fibres knitted together; when this husk is dried the fibres can be pulled apart and the individual strands separated. These fibres, known as coir, can be used to spin threads, produce rope or as a filling for mattresses.

# Processing

The husk is made up of coir fibres and coir pith, generally in a 1:2 ratio. The pith is removed in a process called retting. The husks are suspended in brackish water for 6-11 months, ideally with a tidal ebb, allowing the pectin in the matrix to dissolve. The husks are then beaten with wooden mallets to separate out the pith.

Mechanised combing machines are now used to remove the pith from the coir fibres. These combs are high-torque motorised wheels with sturdy steel pins; the halved coconut husks are fed into the machine with crushes them and pulls apart the fibres with the pins.

# Ropemaking

In Kerala, as well as other parts of southern India, a cottage rope-making industry exists that utilises coconut coir, a by-product that is available in abundance due to the large scale coconut farming in the area.

Traditionally, the fibres are spun by either twisting between the palms or by using pair of spinning wheels known as ratts.

Spinning fibres is a process that normally involves two people walking backwards with a bag of coir and feeding it, through their hands, into a thread that is being twisted by a third person using a ratt. This process, known as inducing, results in a single, twisted strand.

Once the inducers have walked as far as desired (the distance of the rope walk dictates the length of the product), the two strands they have produced are then attached to a second ratt, at the far end from the first, and this is quickly spun in the opposite direction. One of the inducers walks the length of the rope and, using a v-shaped piece of wood with a groove cut down each end, feeds the spinning strands into a single, two-stranded rope.

The finished rope is held together by the friction of the strands attempting to untwist against one another: the change in direction ensures that the forces are opposed and the tension is maintained.
Spinning machines have also been developed to produce single and double yarns; some machines are capable of processing the raw fibres whilst others require an induced yarn to be used.
Once a single yarn has been produced, it is paired with a second yarn and doubled to create thicker rope. This doubling process can be repeated several times to produce thicker and stronger ropes.
Automated braiding machines have also been developed.

Coconut fibre ropes are extremely cheap in India, due, in part, to the low wages the workers receive. The ropes are of a good quality, however, and will biodegrade entirely when retired.

Replicators Incorporated

Captain Galek Sar has been dead for over 1000 years, along with his ship the *Cleponji*, but it's never too late to worry about his undeleted computer files that he's strewn literally everywhere across his ship. Good thing for him a booby trap has the *Enterprise* too busy to snoop too much! Is Picard somehow a worse archaeologist than Indiana Jones? Is Conrad a mustard guy, or more blue? Is Replicators Incorporated too snobby to hire graduates from the generically named Space College? All this and a return of your fourth or fifth favorite Vulcan in the newest pod!
Geordi La Forge

## Prime Timeline

Geordi La Forge is the Chief Engineer of the USS *Enterprise*.

Formerly served on the USS *Hood* as helmsman, before transferring to the *Enterprise* in 2354 in a rendezvous at Deneb IV.

## Viggo Timeline

### Before 2364

At some point prior to 2364, La Forge was assigned to the USS Hood.

### 2364

La Forge's originally planned transfer to the USS *Enterprise* was delayed by several months when the planned rendezvous at Deneb IV didn't occur.

Instead, it was several months later when the *Hood* arrived at Starbase 74 for a retrofit of its conference rooms that La Forge was transferred off the *Hood* and onto the *Enterprise*. (SS: "Hot Fish Juice")
Ship of the Week

The **Ship of the Week**, or sometimes **Station of the Week**, is the central segment and (allegedly) the main purpose of the Stardate: Supplemental podcast.

In it, the Brothers Weems discuss a starship, space station, or similar installation that appears in an episode of one of the *Star Trek* series (currently they are going through *Star Trek: The Next Generation*). They talk about how it looks based on what can be seen in the show, and what crew members might appear in the episode, and then deep dive into a ton of wild conjecture and humorous tangents about it.

The first Ship of the Week was the USS *Hood* in the podcast episode Boyz on the Hood, which has many minor appearances in *Star Trek: The Next Generation*, and is even more frequently mentioned, but appears for the first time in *The Next Generation* Season 1, Episode 1 "Encounter at Farpoint".

A full list of the ships of the week can be found at: Ships Featured.

Canadian Riker

When you're halfway to a new planet with a boatload of amorphous colonists only to find out that it's infested by human pests, what's a Sheliak director to do? Get a can of raid? Or talk tough about treaties with Starfleet's sexiest captain while wearing your blingiest wrap? Make the humies do the dirty work! Why is space poker like normal poker, but space chess is like crazy 3-d nonsense chess? Do they really dub "eh" at the end of Riker's lines in Canada rebroadcasts? What would Volkov do to protect a new world of customers? It's time for another round of "Guess that anatomy!"
Starbase 74

## Prime Timeline

A *Stardock*-type space station operated by Starfleet in Sector 001. Serves as a hub for maintenance and repair of Starfleet vessels. Commanded by Commander Orfil Quinteros.

Also serving on the station is the brilliant but young and awkward Terence Epstein.

Has a resident population of Bynars.

## Viggo TImeline

Its chief of operations is Dane "Double Horgon" McMurphy, who is considered the resident bad boy and cool dude by most of the station's personnel. Dane is also the captain of the station's Parrises Squares team.

Unbeknownst to the rest of the station personnel, Quinteros is secretly the Jean-Luc Picard of the Mirror universe, in hiding after fleeing its crumbling Terran Empire.

### 2364

The USS *Hood* transferred Will Riker and Geordi La Forge to Starbase 74, where they would transfer onto the USS *Enterprise* months later than in the prime timeline. At the same time, Dr. Borik, Lt. Longo, Lt. Kevin Kurland and Kurland's son Jake Kurland would be transferred from the *Enterprise* to the *Hood*.
Boil Apprentice

When the Pakled ship *Mondor* rolls into the neighborhood, most spacefarers laugh, taking the husky-bodied, child-faced, simple-speaking Pakleds to be fools. And when it comes to words and reading behavior in others, the Pakleds definitely come up short. But Captain Grebnedlog is the fastest draw west of Qo'noS, catching Klingons and Romulans off-guard and stealing their better tech for themselves. Can Volkov get the better of Grebnedlog? Do Klingons find New Orleans boils to be proper warrior banquets? Why does Sisko only have camp stoves? Raise shields, Pakleds are coming!
