oh a dream team...

sisko: the leader. he organizes everything, times everything and plans for every variable. makes sure everyone knows whats what

uhura: the hacker/tech expert. she disables alarms and ensures everyone can communicate. she keeps track of the individual’s progress and comes up with the occasional witty retort

data: the safe cracker. knows billions of potential codes and has accounted for all potential problems that may arise. may stop to comment on art pieces during the mission.

geordi: i cant really think of a role for him specifically but it feels wrong to separate him from data

worf: the scout/protector: makes sure places are safe before entry. takes care of security and anyone else who might get in the way. most likely to complain about people not being quiet enough.

sulu: the driver. he knows every entrance and exit, knows exactly how and where to go. professional enough to NOT play phone games on the job, but he will talk to uhura more than he “should”. cooler than a cucumber.

first of all, headcanon one is that garak is not sent to contemporary earth to do some reconnaissance, he is “sent” to contemporary earth to do some “reconnaissance.”

obviously garak knows this and he reacts by being characteristically depressive and self pitying.

headcanon two: julian finds garak asleep in the dumpster outside julian’s apartment building, clutching a dumpster cheeseburger. he had like, a little mobile base and a food replicator and shit but he pushed them into the ocean in a fit of self-destructive pique. unfortunately for garak, this did not actually bring him the sweet release of death, he is in fact a natural survivor. it just made his life harder and worse.

headcanon three: julian deadass thinks garak is a mutant komodo dragon until he gets his universal translator back online.

headcanon four: julian spent his whole childhood SUPER into ufos, but grew out of it.

don’t get me STARTED on this but also i low-key believe record producer guy (bernie?) got him & the rest of MM O-1/O-2 visas Back In The Day and John’s not aware/doesn’t care that they expire and has just kinda been riding on it since then/handwaving it w/ magic. (technically you have to be EXEMPLARY for an O-1 but i doubt this ONE segment of immigration law is any more of a meritocracy than anything else so like -- whatever).

also Ravenscar is in Northern England (I mean in comics canon but also p sure in show canon?) so. I’m not like an expert on the NHS but I assume it was covered.

Most of the time I either already know the actor (like Ellen Page in Beyond: Two Souls) or I don’t know the actor but never see them so I never end up thinking about it, but the dude from Detroit: Become Human is the most surreal because I didn’t see him irl until after playing the game and then the first gifs I saw were where he’s in that ...cosplay, lmao and it’s so strange!! You don’t often get that feeling of character come to life.

also, im not straight but is john mulaney really that implausible to be considered attractive
