If they redid Star Trek IV in the Kelvinverse..."It may be 'classic' music, Jim, but it doesn't solve every problem!"
Star Trek has had living rocks, giant space amoebas, space jellyfish and whales, giant weaponized orchids and even tardigrades that can transverse the universe. I want to see a peacock that shoots laser beams.

"Set your feathers to kill!"
Peacock feathers can emit laser beams, a first in the animal kingdom
Scientists get peacock feathers to emit laser light after adding dye and green pulses, revealing surprising biophotonic applications.

Funny that I only just added a story to the TOS episode pitch game about a bird race loosing all their feathers. Bird people with sci-fi wings really should've been in the queue for that showStar Trek has had living rocks, giant space amoebas, space jellyfish and whales, giant weaponized orchids and even tardigrades that can transverse the universe.

Hey that's what they did in Star Trek Beyond
Those fishermen copied Trek
Flee Willy.
The Enterprise is sent to a remote colony to investigate the death of a Federation representative that had been sent to the world. The colonists have developed a power grid that allows them to create miraculous technology based on the usage of the plumage of local peacock-like bird life. Aside from the Federation representative, there have been several other murders by apparent phaser beam.
Investigation reveals that the needs of the power grid require constant replenishment of the feathers and the creatures are being ruthlessly hunted. However, surprise! They're sentient beings and fighting back to defend themselves with their laser feathers! The Enterprise has to convince the colonists to stand down and make peace with the peacocks before both sides take things too far.
A little bit "Devil in the Dark" and a little bit "Equinox" (and I would probably add a touch of "Home Soil" to that in the colonists motivations), and you have a Star Trek story!

Starfleet has Tardigrade Ops?
You can buy Tardigrade plushies, but they're not Trek branded
Given that Picards artificial heart was specifically designed for an adult human, you'd think there would have been more of an issue when he was reduced to childhood in Rascals.
Ssssh you're not meant to think about details like that haha
Didn't their clothes adjust to their size as well?
must be self adjusting
Technically their bladders should have exploded.
eeeeeeewwwwww that would make for a great final destination scene they like that stuff
And something else should have shot out the other end...
Also, probably instant vomiting.
It was the transporter’s automatic sartorial adjustment function.
Apart from ST5, which is obviously a work of Christian fanfic, we have no evidence Trek humans still need to piss or shit.
