Update: The AMA has concluded. You guys are awesome, and thank you for participating. I hope you found my Admiral-y wisdom insightful.
I’m trying to be less of a lurker here, so figured this would be a good starter post.
I’ll still reply now, but not in character. Unless you ask a stupid question ;)
Do you know of any strategies to defeat the dominion threat to the alpha quadrant?
THAT is a stupid question.
Is this the Krusty Krab?
That is a stupid question.
Do you like tea?
That’s a stupid question.
Does anyone at the Institute know you’re missing?
THAT is a STUPID question.
Is there any such thing as a stupid question?
^^^ That is a stupid question.
Admiral, this ship is scheduled to take 4,000 people to Delta Vega by stardate 52743.5. Are you seriously asking me to detour all the way to Deep Space Nine?
That’s a stupid question. (Brushes past you, commandeers your ship)
Umm, yes sir. My pleasure, sir.
How do you beat the Kobayashi Maru?
That’s a stupid question.
You’re nailing this AMA, admiral.
That’s a stupid…question?
(Thanks!)
Did I miss the AMA, Admiral?
(I got one more in me)
That’s a STUPID QUESTION!
Is this the Krusty Krab?
No, this is Patrick. I’m an admiral!
What are your thoughts about Julian Bashir?
That IS a stupid question.
What sort of advice do you have for an upstart Ensign?
Follow my lead and fake it till you make it.
What reference have I completely missed?
DS9 episode “Chrysalis”. There’s a great scene where some augmented, yet socially challenged savants dress up as Starfleet officers. Patrick pretends to be an admiral. When other officers ask him what’s he’s doing, he responds with, “that’s a stupid question,” and they let him proceed with commandeering a ship, etc.
Admiral Patrick, sorry I missed the AMA. This is peak /c/Risa. Hopefully you will grace us with your singing voice in your next AMA.
That “do-re-mi” scene was as beautiful as it was random. Sadly, my IRL singing voice would cause multiple red alerts.
Way too late for the AMA but welcome to the gang, Admiral (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
I missed the Admiral! Now how will I know if my questions are stupid or not?
