You know what I love about modern Trek? They don't mention warp factors once. There's none of the "holding at warp 8.2 sir" and Spock replying that it'll take 11.3 hours to cross 12 light years, or Janeway saying it'll take 75 years to cross 70,000 light years at warp 9.975. Because the maths is always completely wrong (in the above examples, warp 8.2 in classic Trek is FASTER than warp 9.975 in Voyager) because the writers always made it up on the spot and sometimes even ignoring the show's science advisors. You just warp wherever you're going and it takes as long as it needs to.
Need something really fast? The Dauntless has Quantum slipstream. Something faster? Proto-drive on the Protostar. Fastest? Discovery's spore drive goes anywhere in an instant. Simple.

In thinking about the upcoming new year, I was also thinking about how they really do seem to zip by faster and faster the further along we go. Especially from when were were still in school. I don't often draw "pre-transition me", but to do childhood flashbacks, It's kinda a must. Admittedly, the "bucket-hat" era of my youth was a little later than grade school, but it happened. I tried HATS for a while as ways to establish anything as an identity other than what I already had figured out, but that's a story in and of itself. ;)

Captain Data: “I am experiencing overwhelming stress.”
Tumblr media
Idol ⭐️ Hands: note, I believe Data is modeling himself after Captain Sisko’s style of leadership here — as earlier, Sisko, laughed at Commander Data’s suggestion to consult Starfleet’s admirals before heading into a potentially fabric-of-reality-altering situation. As text is smaller below (a two-page spread), I’ve transcribed the dialog.
Tumblr media
Acting Captain Data: Ensign Sato, broadcast Starfleet evacuation codes to all affected planets with my over-ride authorization.
Ensign Sato (the Andorian): Yes, sir.
Acting Captain Data: Additionally, broadcast the sub space frequencies of all nearby Starfleet vessels so they can be coordinated with directly.
Ensign Sato: Help is on the way!
Acting Captain Data: Lieutenant Descheeni, reassign all personnel from sciences and research to communications and telemetry. Transfer display protocols rather than physically relocating staff.
Lt. Descheeni: Clever, Captain.
Acting Captain Data: Simply necessary, Lieutenant. They will assist in efforts by Ensign Sato to coordinate evacuating in local language and custom as well as aid Ensign T’lr’s upcoming calculations.
Ensign T’lr (the Vulcan): Speaking of which, sir. I have a trajectory that might allow us to alter the course of the creature slightly by affecting their warp field stability, like a gentle nudge.
It will not change where they are going, but it should affect less inhabited systems.
Acting Captain Data: That is acceptable. Execute. And, Mr. Paris?
Lt. Paris: Don’t gotta tell me what to do, Captain. I’m the first human to ever achieve trans warp flight. I can handle the turbulence. The problem is going to be keeping up.
I can feel the engines, Commander. They’re not up to this.
Acting Captain Data: Mr. Scott, to address this, please activate the the Theseus’ classified propulsion system.
Chief Engineer Scott: I dinnae know what you’re talking ab—
Acting Captain Data: I looked over your design as soon as I was assigned, sir. It is incumbent on a first officer to know everything about his ship.
And while such a classified marker would no doubt deter most, my best friend is a decorated warp drive engineer. And so I was able to infer the use of the redacted capsules near each of the Theseus’ warp nacelles.
I was also able to infer that they were classified because they were, in fact, not yet working.
Chief Engineer Scott: Aye. Torres tried to get it working for months, but the containment frequencies never held.
Lt. Paris: Wait, B’elanna Torres? Like, my wife, B’elanna Torres? This was her little ‘side project’?
Chief Engineer Scott (on speaker): Aye, laddie. She said if you behaved, she’d let ye design the Bridge canopy.
Acting Captain Data: I have just relayed to you containment frequencies that I believe will solve the problem.
Chief Engineer Scott: It...it works. My God...
Acting Captain Data: No, Mr. Scott. Simply an android. Now, if you would be so kind, please take the vessel to transwarp.
Chief Engineer Scott: Way ahead of ye, Captain. But one little correction...like I always said, transwarp’s nothing but a dead end.
We call this little beauty...proto-warp!

Acting Captain Data: “I am experiencing pride.”

A transwarp conduit, also known as a transwarp corridor or a transwarp tunnel, was an artificially-created energy conduit through a realm of subspace known as transwarp space. The entrances of transwarp conduits bear many resemblances to subspace gateways. They were utilized by the Borg to cover great distances in a relatively short period of time. Accessed via tachyon pulses of alternating frequencies, the conduits contained a matter stream in which a vessel could reach velocities at least twenty times greater than the maximum warp speed of a Galaxy-class starship, in a process Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge described as "like falling into a fast-moving river and being swept away by the current." (TNG: "Descent", VOY: "Dark Frontier", "Shattered", DIS: "Su'Kal")
