Species 8472 vs Everything you can think of!

This thread is a knock-off, not an effing “homage”, of a really thread in a non-ST forum. Except that original thread has something completely different in it's title from Species 8472. But the rest of the title is the same.

Am I being a copycat? Yes! Am I being original? No {except for the S-8472 part} Am I being like a whopper-eating forsaken plagiaist? Bang! You got me. I'm dead Sure am! Guilty as charged

The thread's title I'm shamelessly ripping off is:
___________ vs Everything you can think of!

To get to the point, who would you love to see Species 8472 woop the arse(s) of?

The skys the limit & don`t restrict yourselves to the Trekverse by any means

For starters:

Species 8472 vs the BRG & The DOMINION simultaneously

 

[Captain Gandalf]

I believe it's 8472, not 8742.

 

[Deks]

If the 8472 go up against the Dominion and Borg at the same time (with no use of biological weapons specifically designed against 8472), then there is a strong possibility that 8472 would lay waste to both.

8472 and the big bang.... who would win? would the bang include fluiddic space?

If this is serious, then you should already know that the big bang would easily wipe the floor with 8472.

Species 8742 vs the Daleks

I would give the edge to the Daleks since they can time travel and build a device that can destroy the multiverse.

 

[Cmdr Sho]

Ya, but would the big bang affect fluidic space???

 

[The Wormhole]

Speciec 8472 vs Captain Robau. 8472 doesn't stand a chance.

 

[Aquehonga]

I believe it's 8472, not 8742.

My bad

I went back & corrected that mix-up , which shows up right in the topic's title when you click on it, but in the GT forum still says 8742

Always confuse the 4 & 7 with them thar Fluidix

PS:Now if only I could correct the tags

The Daleks' reality bomb, as the name implies destroys reality itself by reducing everything to its component electrical charges - Fluidic space would be toast, along with subspace, the MU, and everything else.

Maybe not.
It would probably affect only one reality and the subspace layer indigenous/tied to that reality (both of which would end up destroyed).
Fluidic space on the other hand is essentially in another reality.
Unless the 'reality bomb' affects other realities as well (which means it would have to interact with quantum signatures of other infinite realities).

The Reality Bomb does attack other realities. One Reality Bomb in the Doctor's universe was destroying other parallel universes, and it got to the point where people from another universe had to step in and help out as well. Stars were being snuffed out as a consequence of other universes dying.

But don't you find it to be a limiting perception and course of events given the fact that theory of alternate realities/parallel universes is based on the premise there is an infinite (not finite) number of universes?
The universes would not even interact with one another because they are self-contained, even though same or similar course of events would be happening in a large number of them (which doesn't explain as to why the stars would be snuffed out if the universes aren't co-dependent or interact).
If the 'reality bomb' exploded in one universe, there is a good possibility that alternate reality bombs were made and also likely exploded in a number of those other realities (under same, similar or different circumstances) which were in fact direct results of those universes being destroyed and not just 1 bomb from 1 universe.
The universes would be collapsing into infinity (never ending really) given the fact there is no end to infinity.

But I think I'm getting side-tracked.


In any event, if this 'reality bomb' explodes inside Fluidic space and nothing is done, then yes, it would likely be destroyed.
At the same time though, 8472 are highly advanced and it's a question if they would be capable of affecting chances on a universal scale ultimately preventing their own annihilation.

That was the entire point. The Daleks wanted to destroy all of reality, the entire omniverse. Even the area (for lack of a better word) between parallel universes was wiped out. They succeeded in destroying a portion (again, for lack of a better word) of the omniverse. However, the bomb itself was tracked down to "our" universe.

All it took was one bomb, but there were other universes that experience the passage of time at a different rate than "our" universe. That meant that the effects of a bomb that had not yet detonated was already snuffing out universes, while other universes were waiting the same fate since time isn't linear in Who literature.

Conversely, when the bomb's effects were halted, universes that were destroyed were repairing themselves due to dimensional retroclosure. Those universes were restored because the omniverse essentially healed itself like a cloud that's been pierced.

The big difference between Trek's temporal structure and Doctor Who's temporal structure is that time isn't a river with deltas and tributaries, but rather a big ball of string that intersects and warps and winds. It's alot more complex than Trek where fixing a moment in the past will restore the status quo. It doesn't quite happen that way in the Whoverse (if you want to talk about 'limited perception'). It's also why many of the non-televised material, like novels and audiobooks and comics, could be counted as canon but still be parallel, depending on each fan's preference (sort of like DC Comics now).

But stars getting snuffed out was a side effect, not the primary consequence. It's really no different than the Q Civil War, where the side effect of stray bullets in another realm beyond human comprehension meant supernovas all over the place in the corporeal universe. And a star getting snuffed out is like a fly sneezing in a hurricane, or a lone bullet in a massive war.

Species 8472 vs Batman. With time to prepare. Batman pwns them.

 

[Vanyel]

Q would toy with them until he got bored and sent them back to where they came from.

Dark Phoenix would consume them.
