What's your warp slogan?
In light of what other's have been memeing ... it made me think.
If you became captain of a ship, what would your warp slogan be?

In light of what other's have been memeing ... it made me think.
If you became captain of a ship, what would your warp slogan be?
I'm Indigenous Canadian and I speak my language Ojibway-Cree (a dialect in between Ojibway and Cree ... it's neither one or the other, can kind of understand one and the other but not really)
So my go to warp slogan would be ... Eh-koo Mash-cha!! ... basically a phrase that translates to just 'Ok then ... Let's go!'
BTW: ... that has got to be shittiest looking stereotypical Native person I've ever memed ... lol
Luzem gayen!
I can't believe I missed that ... I completely forgot about this scene and Mel Brooks dressed up as an Indian ... it's been years since I saw that movie ... now I can't stop laughing .. my warp core has been ejected ...
Oddly enough, your phrase sounds very Klingon. And, lacking the impulse control:
I have a female cousin that would have passed for Klingon ... she used to scream Ojibway/Cree obscenities when she got mad at her children
AH TAGUY! TAGUY! TAHK-GUY! AH-GUY!! SHOO-AH-GUY! TAHK-GUY! AHHH-GUY!!
(in case you're wondering ... Taguy means genitals and more specifically 'penis' - a very insulting way to yell obscenities in my language ... the variations are basically just saying ... penis, penis, big penis, little penis, a very big penis, penis, little penis .... and yes, she used to yell this at 100 decibels at her kids)
And then you are going to add "we are far from the bones of my ancestors"?
A coochie moya.
Go-go Gadget Starship!
Both nacelles fly off the main ship and cartoonishly dangle off the craft with big giant springs
shhh dont tell stamets lol“Don’t forget to smash that warp button”
A google ad appears on the main viewer advertising some new heart drug .... everyone eagerly waits five seconds to skip the ad before the ship can go to warp
“Please set your subspace cookie preferences for this warp”
Adblock has prevented this warp from starting
Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
Jake: Hit it.
Yesssssss! I have the movie poster on my wall :)
Make Starship Go Forward
He is smart!
Honestly I love the way LD brought these guys back and made them a real villain
Ludicrous Speed!
He's gone Argyle!
Spooooooooon!
It's warping time.
Lights go dim, laser lights start streaming in all directions, disco ball comes down from the ceiling .... Funky disco music starts playing ... Ship goes to warp five
Leeeeerrooooyy Jennnnkinnnssss!
Alright chums, let's do this!
Pitter patter, let's get at 'er
Captain Batel approves.
Ive been a car guy my whole life so Id have to have a few depending on what warp rating we were looking at.
"Helm, Warp 3, Just a nice drive in the country"
"Helm, Warp 5. Chirp the tyres"
"Helm! Warp 7. Dump the clutch!"
"Helm! WARP 9! SEND IT!"
Who gave Tom Paris a ship?
Engineering has been instructed to use 20th century automotive terms to convey messages
"Sir, we're out of gas"
"Sir, the carbs are dirty and we need to clean them"
"Sir, the throttle cables are stretched and we need to replace them"
"Sir, we gotta go to the garage for a new alternator"
"Sir, we need to refill the headlight fluid"
Instead of Scotty in engineering I want an old man from Texas.
Instead of "I cannae hold her captain, she's gonna blow" id get "If you lean on this sumbitch ay harder cap, the warp core gon have a new inspection port!"
When you hear gun shots in Engineering ... you have to figure out if the Chief Engineer is happy ... or something has gone terribly wrong.
Blam Blam Blam
"Slater in engineering must be happy"
"That was gunfire! What makes you think he was happy!?!"
"When he is angry, he only shoots once and he doesnt miss"
Alternately, shouting WARP ME in intense situations with an added slam to the arm rest.
For those that need the visual:
PORK CHOP SANDWICHES!
elaborate please
thAT DOESN'T HELP EXPLAIN IT
Old internet G.I. Joe PSA
we are both very confused by that content lol
I never realised how much it looks like Gowron is just playing candy crush on his mobile.
"Silence! Let me get back to CRUSHING... my candies.”
The smell of bacon fills up engineering as the warp core powers up
I always said “Hit it” but then Pike used it in strange worlds. Not sure now.
Still bugs me that, in the more recent movies, Pike said "Punch It". Would have been so easy to keep that for the show.
"Do it for daddy!"
First officer slaps captain in the ass ... ship goes to warp 5
In the ass?
Daddy like what daddy likes
My warp command would be:
“Kick the tires and light the fires, warp 9 ensign”
No one seems to have a catch phrase for engaging the transporter. Mine would be:
“Smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast.”
What a guy!
Stoke me a clipper, or whatever
If I had any money I'd be sipping jippers on a beach somewhere.
Und los!
Auf geht's
Muss ja.
Was du heute kannst besorgen, das verschiebe nicht auf morgen
Ein deutscher Kapitän!
Alarm! Alle Mann nach vorn! Warpen!
Just nice and simple, ENGAGE!
Nothing happens ???
Sir, there's been an unexpected flash mob in engineering led by the Lt. Commander who proposed to one of his junior officers.
Cut life support to engineering, wait 10 minutes, send in the b team.
Engineering confirming the order: Right You Are Ken!
For speeds under warp 3:
I commented in another post that my phrase would be his "Let's go!"
Let's outrun some photons.
It’s a little wordy, but this is my favourite one here.
Rücksturz zur Erde. Schöne Grüße von der Orion!
Ein wahrer Klassiker!
Dazu die passende Musik einer Lieblingsband von mir:
https://youtu.be/AKNh_FDNUvg?si=VprBREMCOt_GNu5D
Since the laws of physics say nothing can travel faster than light,
"Ensign Smith, bend the rules!"
Don't wait for my order, just go when we're ready
15 minutes of awkward silence .... the captain at their chair .... Officers standing around ... Helmsman tapping away at their screen
Wouldn't that be kinda like normal operations? Like 99% of the time they are just traveling from A to B with very little to do in between.
That would be my way of commanding ..... right from my room in bed in my pajamas.
Helm, take us to Deep Space 9 ... warp factor 7 ... pull the blanket over my face, lie on my side and go to sleep
Make us go.
Punch it ChewieI've thought about it and still have no clue lol
Let's get frisky with physics.
Let's fucking goooooooo, gamers!
Thursday is Pakled day:
"Make ship go!"
I've always been a fan of "Make it Go"
But I think I'd prefer what someone else here said "don't wait for my order, just move when we're ready."
Fucking go already you fucking fuck!
Switch to secret hyperjets!
Well what do we've got on this thing? A Cuisinart?
I think it's pronounced, " e-yeaw ".
The sound a wagoneer makes to get the horses going on a chuck wagon.
Fire up the Quattro!
I'd put on my tiny shorts and stand in front of the view screen waving a chequered flag.
I don't know who you are ..... so this could either be very arousing, very strange or very disturbing
Por qué no los tres?
Smoke it (then I light a blunt)
don't set off the smoke alarms
Just open an exterior window and wave the smoke out with your hand
Geniu-WOOSH
I know I'm beign a sourpuss, but I hate how much of a thing modern Trek has made this.
That's it. I'd say that every time.
Allons-Y!
Pull my finger
Dislocates your knuckle
WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!!!!!
Sir, we're being pursued by a Romulan vessel and need to go to warp eight!!
"This is the last time I use a Nausicaan helmsman!"
I wouldn't have one.
It honestly always seemed silly to me. Unless I told the helmsman to wait for some reason, they should just go as soon as they're ready. Why wait an extra moment just for me to say "go"?
That said, if it was some kind of required protocall, I'd pick a different silly term each time. Like "Banana Bread", "Pencil", or "Fuck off".
Helmsman muttering under their breath: ... why can't we have a fun captain
Crank it to 11.
If I'm feeling jinky I might go with Let's get out of here Scoob.
New ensign. Warp core explodes.
I would install drag strip start light aka Christmas Tree on the bridge.
It would use the sounds from Atari 2600 Pole Position.
The countdown starts when I say
'Computer, assume the position.'
"Let's mosey"
¡Ándele, pendejos!
All Spanish Engineering crew hyped up with double espressos and chocolate y churros: ¡Arriba, arriba! ¡Ándale, ándale! .... loud dance music and a football match playing in the background .... ¡Arriba, arriba! ¡Ándale, ándale!
Lets go!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vgQCArK2sY
"Let's Boogie, my dudes"
"Begin!"
Make like a tree!
And get outta here
Everyone start making 'vroom-vroom' noises!
Starboat go brrrrrrrr
"Let's throw some coal in the boiler"
"Slap her fanny and make her jump"
"Suck it, physics!"
Trevor, Corey, smokes! Let's go!
Lt. Commander Lahey in Engineering: HEY CAP! The warp thingy is on fire because Trevor turned on the engine ..... but don't worry I got Rand working on it ... we'll be ready in a jif .... now watch me do this wrap around ..... screech!! loud static noises!! glass breaking ... a loud thud of a man falling on the floor
Decent! 👀
Retreat!
Let's eat some subspace
Gaan met die banaan!
Chooch it!
As prospective captain of the USS Vancouver, "Pitter patter let's get at 'er".
Crank it
"Today, helm" would be fun every time there was someone new
The powerful quad quark drives rev to life. Time and space bend under the fibrillations of the time rift transfluxors. Your adrenaline, and stomach, reel with the hyperbolic hyperbole. and finally, finally .... nothing much happens. that must not have been a valid code, try again.
"Grab your ankles!"
Depending on the mood, I'd either go with
"Let's roll." "Warp us."
And for a quick command, there's the simple "Fire!"
"FOR THE EMPEROR!"
Make spaceship go now.
Up and let's go.
Up and at them!
Eh, fuck it
Helm to 108
https://youtu.be/k0cznOQ4aFY?si=Qf3fRkdry_YDCjnF
"Kick it!"
Begin zoomies!
Highball!
Hoppa!
EFFF TEEE ELLL... FUCK THEM LAWS... of physics. but I whisper the Of Physics under my breath because I am the Captain in Shadow. I dunno I'm still workshopping.
Eskitit!
“Git on, then!”
