During a charity auction in Australia, I ended up doing an impromptu reading of scenes from "Deadlock" with my fellow auctioneer, Brian Croucher (the second Travis in "Blake's Seven").
Brian played the main villain and Scotty, and I played Will Decker, James T Kirk (with a pillow up my sweater), Ilia (with a hand over my forehead) and Xon (with my fingers slanted like Vulcan eyebrows).
Someone took video, but I've never seen it, but Xon was immortalised in cartoon form by Marianne Plumridge.

A.I.? What would be the purpose of that? Was it a person using a.i. because they have trouble articulating or just an a.i. someone ran amok here.
Ok. Hmmm. I never ran into an effie here.
So the petition was to get us to give our names and emails? I didnt sign it but there was a creators name on there.
“Deadlock” is a really good script - I bet it played pretty well to an audience!During a charity auction in Australia, I ended up doing an impromptu reading of scenes from "Deadlock" with my fellow auctioneer, Brian Croucher (the second Travis in "Blake's Seven").

I was surprised how easily I was able to make some tweaks to make the story work in the context of the Dominion War in my version. The paranoia aspect was perfection and I was able to amplify the original script’s untapped element about commenting on AI and media manipulation.
"Here's a bunch of names with addresses for sale!" hollers someone on the Dark Web.
IDW have already flirted with the lost "Phase II" era:

Lieutenant Xon is the feature character in the second story in the "Waypoint" comic from IDW (issue #6) by Gabriel Hardman! "The Fear: A Star Trek Phase II Story".

Interesting. I'll admit the the pattern of their posts was becoming predictable (or should I say "I agree, it's becoming predictable!") but that's true of many humans as well. Honestly, I thought it was a slightly off-kilter person trying to awkwardly make a connection and I think my instinctive sympathy for that kind of person blinded me to what, on re-reading, seems a bit obvious. I guess this is the new normal.
It's like we just had our own visit from the Illia construct.
I'm sure I could find some real members who are indistinguishable.
I’m sure we can all think of at least one or two right off the bat, but I ain’t naming names.
I wouldn't take it personally.
Well im wondering if this poster was a bot or someone using a.i. to help them speak. It could have been a person with severe autism using a.i. to communicate and socially interact. Still a good subject. I find the phase II period of trek interesting.
Yup. Classic social engineering scam to trick folks into giving up their personal info.
Hey!I wouldn't take it personally.
