Things Lower Decks should bring back

Didn't they pop up in a novel or Star Trek Online?
I vaguely remember something in the novelverse but not really. Anyone else?
The DS9 novel Unity established they were all sent to some realm which is basically the dumping ground for things the Prophets dispose of. In the novel, the Prophets send characters there at the end who are possessed by the Conspiracy aliens, who end up fighting against the Jem'Hadar from that Dominion fleet.
 
Eh, they could have teleported them to the distant past or future or Prophetland.

It would have been justified but I don't think mass execution via snap is the Prophets' style.

Sending a massive Dominion invasion fleet anywhere else in time (or space) would be absolutely catastrophic.

Perhaps they were sent to another planet where, due to terrible miscalculation in scale, the entire fleet was swallowed by a small dog.

Well from the Prophets perspective, they sent them where they were always meant to be.
 
Or perhaps they were all put in a kind of trans-dimensional stasis. Should be a no-brainer for non-linear time beings. Either way, I agree with Charles Phipps. The Prophets have absolutely no reason to murder all those Horta and Jem’Hadar.

The Prophets aren't really concerned with stuff like that. They only did it because Sisko was prepared to die and their weapon against the Pah-Wraiths would be gone.

If you want to be charitable, you could take the view that the Prophets might know a catastrophe on one day could lead to a better future down the road:

In STO, the return of the fleet in 2410 does indeed have dire consequences, with the Federation being forced off DS9 temporarily and having to release the female Changeling and return her to the Dominion in order to get them to order the time-displaced Jem'hadar to stand down.

However, that turn of events DOES eventually set up some renewed contact with the Dominion which is mutually beneficial in the face of greater threats.
 
I really miss the Dominion in all new Trek incarnations. At least, I want to see, if Morn really owns Quark's old bar at this time...
 
Just realized that Scotty is still cruising around the Galaxy in an Enterprise D shuttlecraft. Yes I'm aware James Doohan is no longer with us, but his son Chris (who took up the role for Star Trek Continues) could fill in.

Scott trapped himself in another transport buffer to avoid "Voyager."

I rather enjoyed Scottys beta cannon 24th century adventures: palling around with Frasier, bumping into the Excalibur crew on Risa, volunteering at Narrindra Station on Shield of Tomorrow, hanging with Kirk, Spock and McCoy in the Shatnerverse novels, working with the SCE...

I'd like to see Rutherford, Tendi, Boimler and Mariner (inadvertantly) get shrunk by the subspace compression anomaly from DS9: "One Little Ship". I'm sure much hilarity would ensue!

The Terretin callbacks alone...
