Deep Space 9 Superior

[the Fifth Race]

Hello all - I have graded all the quizzes that have been submitted and as usual I am very impressed by everyone so far!.

It never ceases to amaze me just how bright our superior thread brethren are. You all make me very proud to host my quizzes and especially this thread. As I have said many times and in my humble opinion - DS9/Star Trek/Stargate fans are second to none.

[Pitry]

You actually did very well Lady Pitry. And as usual you had me laughing my azz off while grading your quiz LOLOL (hilarious!). You are one clever and oh so sarcastic young lady.

*takes hat off*
Actually, having just seen Jumper's response to Q14... if I actually did get it right I'm terribly proud at my memory. I had a vague feeling my response is not complete bull**** on that one
Or maybe I'm just retconning the universe!

Also, regarding question 15...

Spoiler:

Ablative armour. Is there also nominative, genitive, accusative and dative armour?

Sorry, my linguist mind insisted

LOL cute and a little

I remember the very first time I heard the term "Ablative Armor" I misunderstood and continued to think it was actually "A Blade of Armor" for about a year before I realized my ignorance. Which actually fits what it describes perfectly. LOL

Hey, I watched all of DS9 at least twice, and it still managed to pass me by!

Basically Ablative armor (as seen on DS9 & VOY) is a type of protective hull plating used on starships, which possesses a capability for rapidly dissipating the energy impacts from directed energy weapon fire. Starfleet began use of ablative armor technology by 2371.

Brother Fifth, when I first heard the term "ablative armor matrix" in Past Tense, Part 1, I also thought the same thing as you: "A blade of armor." I then turned on the captioning for the episode and then realized I was dealing with a sci-fi term that I had never encountered before.

Great Minds Think Alike (even when we are wrong) LOL That's to funny brother Fuzz.

I was actually familiar with the word ablative, but it still didn't don me to almost a year later when I was talking to brother Starbase and he heard me say 'a blade of armor' LOL, he corrected me and I felt as embarrased as I do right now.

I had never heard the term ablative--ever--before Past Tense Part I. I did a double-take on that term and had to look it up before it actually started to make sense to me. But I the idea of the ablative armor and have it work well for the Defiant was one of the reasons the Defiant is my favorite ship on DS9.

[nx01a]

The ever wise Brother Fifth! Do you also know why it's called ablative?

Because it absorbs damage meant for the surface underneath it via ablation?
Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Thats because its technobabble. Created for the situation and then rules were created for it to be used. Kind of like the first time tachyon beams were created to detect cloaked ships

The idea of ablation is quite real though the term ablative armor is definitely technobabble. I wasn't familiar with the concept of ablation until I heard about it in that DS9 episode.

[nx01a]

Using a particle that travels beyond light to find ships hidden from sight [and other things, but still...] makes perfect sci-fi sense to me. What I love is when they use chroniton radiation instead of tachyon radiation for time travel scenarios.

I thought we were talking about ablative armor not the actual process of ablation. I know the latter is quite real.

And thanks for the quiz help everyone
