Star Trek Social Club

No. It fits Captain Angel's perspective as an edgy pirate pining after their lover, but Starfleet is full of hopeful, enthusiastic scientists who are in space because they want to be. They love exploration for exploration's sake, and are on a ship full of people who likely have similar interests.

Angel's perspective is warped by their passion; I mean, they're literally in the middle of hijacking a Starfleet ship to get their lover back. They think their dependency on love is universal, when in reality most people are more emotionally stable than them. Although it probably helps when you're in Starfleet and have an incredibly supportive working environment and not, you know, a pirate crew.

I had a hard time liking this character just because she seemed mostly there to advance the love triange plot and love triangles are so boring to me.

Full disclosure, I am not an astronaut, nor do I have full context behind the quote. I think that curiosity and exploration would help. Also, warp drive made all those planets a whole lot less lonely

Doubt any of us could really say, as we haven't spent much time in space.

Any one who has, please speak up.

Well that, and a hot drink. Tea, earl grey perhaps?

CATS. CATS ARE NICE.

it’s pretty hot anywhere near a star, tho

Love and drugs yeah. I think she is onto something
