Even at 16x, it's still well within safe background levels.

A the middle fingering possibilities...

You sure this time?

If it was a small tube, and they were doing more than just the CPU, and if it was only a partial tube, then it wouldn't be outlandish...

Well, which is it? Make up your minds!

Nice.

Where?

Ross may be getting additional support against the software as a service philosophy as a whole:

You apparently haven't dealt with going past the maximum 32-bit integer number (2,147,483,647) available to a PC... (this error is what causes currency/HP, etc maximum number restrictions in most games) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,147,483,647

Only -1 days away...

When?

Maybe you did, maybe you didn't. Who's to say?

Maybe.

Why? This such a good time for a maybe.

Did someone say no?

You sure it's not because of the implication?

Why are you watching while signed in?

What?

I'm really not convinced that it would change anything any more than the other options... Both sides of the conflict seem to have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo, and while this does push things to change slightly, there really isn't any more or less change that could happen.

What a nice thing to say!

Already did that... Now I'm in again.

Very true. If we weren't, this wouldn't be any fun! Honestly, I think they would've had a much higher opinion of Starfleet if he did that, and the interaction would've been far more memorable to the society. I also think that's why he didn't do it, because it would've impacted them more than doing what he actually did. Think about it... Positively or negatively influencing are both possible, and what he did comes about as close to neither positive or negatively influencing them as possible. He made Starfleet look like they wanted nothing to do with the situation, and made it obvious to both sides that Starfleet would not help them. He forced them to do things on their own, and prevented them from ever seeing Starfleet as someone they could "exploit" to further their societies.

That's some mighty fowl language you're using...

Yes, but the bird is the word.
