简介
这是一个看完TNG里关于瓦肯-罗慕伦统一进程的两集就大笑着冒出来过的一个关于who is who的想法,刷到DS9第三季22集,又刷出了一颗彩蛋,这次笑得更狠了……
故事是这样的:Bajor(一个刚刚摆脱殖民统治、处于联邦保护之下、除了上下八千年的古老文明之外一穷二白的星球)的图书馆发现了一份上古手稿,上头一张靠太阳风驱动的原始飞船图纸,站长Sisko(人类)兴致勃勃的开始造船准备以实践检验古代Bajor人能不能靠原始科技完成星际旅行(呃,这个情节本身就有点像1974年,卫聚贤带着一群爱好者乘坐仿照汉代船,带着仿照汉代食物,不用现代设备,从香港驶向太平洋,试图证明汉代中国人率先发现了美洲,最后被海岸救卫队打捞回来的壮举)。
然后Sisko手下的机轮长(人类)和联络官(Bajor人)就开始争论这样的航行有没有理论上的可能性,若干techbabble之后——
"Oh, you sound just like a Cardassian." "I beg your pardon?" "They have denied the possibility of ancient contact for decades because they cannot stand the idea of Bajor having interstellar flight before they did." "With all due respect, Major, you're beginning to sound like a Romulan." "A Romulan?" "There is no piece of technology in existence they don't claim they invented before everyone else!"
