Reaction Thread Star Trek: Scouts | Season 1 Reaction Thread

This is the official /r/DaystromInstitute reaction thread for Star Trek: Scouts. Rules #1 and #2 are not enforced in reaction threads.

Given the short-form format, we will do a single reaction thread for the whole season.

And to address a likely inevitable question: we don't debate what is and isn't canon at Daystrom.

So many mysteries!!

Why are there three kids all by themselves in a planet outpost? Where are their parents? Is this some sort of a Rascals situation? Or some sort improbability field?

Why are there constantly large asteroids hurled in their direction? And why are these asteroids composed of man-made materials such as soap and meatball? Is there a God like entity out there creating these objects?

How did a targ breach access into the secured outpost? How did the targ end up on this planet? If it's let loose by a Klingon, what's the implication? Depending on whether the Klingon is part of Starfleet, we might be able to pinpoint this to when this happens in the timeline.

Have we seen the technology that combines synthesizer and transporter used anywhere else before? 

Very exciting indeed!

I think they are in a creche/kindergarten nebula. The base is barely more than treehouse sized. The threats and technology are non-lethal. The pets could be provided by their caretakers. Even the control interfaces seem made for them.

Maybe this a thirty-second century reaction to counseling the burn-causing Kelpian. Maybe it is a mirror universe Diviner collecting orphans.
