The Great Tribble Hunt

[Joel_Kirk]

This is possibly the greatest war in Trek; the Klingons face their greatest enemy...

As Odo mentioned in 'Trials and Tribble-ations,' Klingons may have sung songs about 'The Great Tribble Hunt'....

I just wanted to start a thread....and speculate how this great war, this glorious battle might happened....

Thoughts...?

It is not glorious to hunt Tribbles. This will come back to haunt the Klingon Empire, because centuries hence, a big, fuzzy probe will appear out of deep space and will destroy the Klingon home world if it doesn't get to communicate with the Tribbles left scattered around the Galaxy.

Star Trek XXI: The Revenge of the Tribbles?

That will be awesome...

Odo's crack about this is one of the best lines in modern Trek.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Maybe Tribbles were an earlier form of the Conspiracy aliens, and Klingons were the only ones to figure it out.

It depends on how big the Tribble market was. I suspect that it wouldn't be very big given the Tribble's nature I suspect that most planets would restrict their sale and ownership. Just one on a agricultural planet could potential see the colony destroyed, they are a pest and most cultures tend to deal harshly with creatures they view as pests.

Any unrestricted market with Tribbles would probably make it impossible for the Klingons to wipe out the Tribbles since one can produce millions. There might have even been a "Tribble plague" that beset parts of the quadrant as unwary or unscrupulous traders transported these furry locusts around from planet to planet.

The Klingons of course would need to annex the Tribble's homeworld so they could then bombard the world from space or just release a biological agent to wipe them out. The Tribbles don't seem to be able to fight so landing warriors would be pointless, though the Klingons might have found it fun, like clubbing baby seals.

Depends on what they taste like.

On that same, sad note:

I think it was in one of the 'Errand of...' novels(the final one, I think)....Korax actually murders a tribble in a gruesome way.

I won't go into details....

Why isn't there a tribble smilie?

 

[Vanyel]

At one Trek Convention I went to, they had an assimilated Tribble.

I did offer one a year or so back, but the admins didn't install it...

Here is a plain tribble:

And here is a tribble wearing a sombrero:

Ever read the short story "The Trouble With Borg Tribbles"? Those poor Borg never had a chance...

I just love how everyone seems to worship the ground Worf walks on, but Odo is such a bad-ass that he just isn't impressed with him, and can give Worf such an FU.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ Now there's a meeting I'd like to see: Odo and Captain Robau

 

[Jono]

^ I think Odo meets enough punks in his job as DS9 head of station security.

Awesome. I'm reading those right now. I can't wait.

 

[Rush Limborg]

Honestly?

I don't think The Hunt solved anything.

Tribbles are like roaches--only cuter.

Once you find them...they're impossible to get rid of...permanently....

I'm not a big Worf fan myself, so I'm with Odo...

was going to name the new cat Tribble but we got her to help out with our surplus mouse population (a la' SIR Patrick Stewart in Christmas Carol) but decided Tribbles are the equivalent of mice so named her B"Elanna because of the emnity bewteen Tribbles and Klingons. I'm hoping for a heart of a warrior in my Tribble hunter!

 

[Rush Limborg]

My kid sister has a pet rabbit named Tribble.

Yes, I named him.

And yes...obvious similarities.

 

[KimMH]

^now that's just cute.
