    Oh Hell no, I don’t push the button!

    It said shifting into the Star Trek universe; it didn’t say anything about time travel or ending up on a planet other than Earth.

      The 40k timeline is basically just normal Earth for a few more centuries at least. The Emperor is just out there, somewhere, fucking with shit.

      In fact, there would be a golden age on the horizon

        Yeah ironically it would probably be better to be in the 40k universe if it was current day.

          It’s basically Star Trek for like a millennium or so if I recall. Things didn’t always suck so hard in 40k, it took a while for it to become the grimdark hell it is in the 42nd century

    So I get transported to a futuristic utopia with Replicators and Holodecks, or I immediately get killed by a Space Marine or whatever.

    Either way I don’t have to live in this shithole any more. 🤷‍♂️ I’m pressing it.

      With all the endless war the Imperium is so huge most of the humans probably never saw war and space marines are so rare it’s almost impossible for you to be killed by them.

        Even on “safe” planets, the average person is basically a slave doing endless, arduous labor with no concern for their lives or well-being, all under the merciless thumb of Imperial dogma. It’s just a bad place to end up.

    Warhammer 40K universe in 2025 would just be the Event Horizon universe 22 years before Event Horizon. ;)

      In other words, about as safe as real life if youre a normal person. We’ve got a lot of time before crazy shit starts happening, and a golden age coming up as well.

    When talking about the Star Trek universe, it’s important to designate both what time and which one.

    Before first contact in any universe? No.

    Prime universe? Sure.

    Kelvin? Sure, why not?

    Mirror universe? No.

    Totally-not-the-mirror-universe-from-Picard? Fuck no.

      You get transported to the Trek prime universe. You come out at Wolf-359, and the Borg approach.
