You're A Red Shirt....

A: Transfer off the Enterprise. Being a redshirt would be safer on the Hood or Yorktown.
B: Be LCDR Giotto. You know the old Andorian proverb? ""Beware of the Old Man in a profession where men die young."

You'd probably get transferred to the Exeter or Excalibur or Defiant... then it wouldn't matter *what* colour your shirt was!
Yup,ships that aren't the E tend to go down with all hands.You'd probably get transferred to the Exeter or Excalibur or Defiant... then it wouldn't matter *what* colour your shirt was!
Someone needs to tell the Hollywood writers. That if you get hit by an object with a one inch deep blade on it. You wont die. Unless you get cut in a vital artery. you'll bleed a little and be in pain and really pissed off. But you wont die. Unless they want us to make the leap that those blades are coated with some sort of fast acting poison.
1. Become the transporter chief.
2. Get assigned to bridge duty; I'm not sure if any red shirt bridge crew ever met their maker.
Ensign Faceless!!!!
But thankfully she was spared the fate of living her life through with that visage, which in earlier times would have at least earned constant employment in Barnum & Bailey's, as all of Charlie's shenanigans effecting Enterprise, were set right by the Thasian when he made his appearance to pick up his charge.
^ Actually, I wonder. She presumably died shortly after her scene, what with not having any orifices for breathing and all. The Thasians said they "returned" Kirk's crew... but is that just the crew that Charlie made disappear? The Thasians already admitted they couldn't bring back the dead Antares crew... were they similarly helpless to resurrect her?
Oops, sorry for taking the joke thread on a detour to seriousness. But I've always thought that one scene is one of the darkest things in the original show. What a terrible way to go.

Perhaps she died, but I doubt it. Her transformation happened very shortly before the finale on the bridge, so maybe if she took short breaths (well I guess not), or at least didn't moan so much, she might have been able to survive! Seriously, this line from the Thasian would seem to cover her situation, as well as all the other mayhem Charlie wrought, save the Antares, unfortunately.
THASIAN: I have taken my form from centuries ago, so that I may communicate with you. We did not realise until too late that the boy had gone, and we are saddened that his escape cost the lives of the first ship. We could not help them, but we have returned your people and your ship to you. Everything is as it was.

Not good enough. Get the sex change, then fuck Kirk. His girlfriends never bought it.
Dang it: Just remembered Edith Keeler...
Rayna.
Miramanee
Walk up and smack Kirk in the mouth, getting myself a nice cushy brig and court martial.
Yep. Forgot them too.
Apologies if y'all have seen this before...
Any Mirror job has certain drawbacks, but it was just the Agonizer, Mirror Kyle wasn't killed. He just learned a valuable lesson - will he be faster on the transporter controls next time? Sure. But at least he wasn't reduced to a pair of smoking boots like most red shirties. In the Mirror universe (where humans are far more likely to get a very negative reception) it's even more important to stay on the ship.
