ifeelbetterer:#sometimes communications officers pick up old transmissions#fragments of status reports lost in subspace#distress signals from ships far beyond any kind of help#as a general rule comm officers don’t log every transmission that passes through their consoles#that would be impossible#but recording these signals is a tradition dating back to the earliest days of interstellar flight#some of them are nearly as old as that#usually all that’s left is audio but once in a while there are images#badly distorted and barely visible#on slow nights when uhura has pulled the late shift she sifts through the recordings#she’s not sure why#it’s just that it seems wrong to let them go unheard (fragmentsshoredagainstmyruin) -- source link
