Gotta give props to Helm Officer Nala Tele's makeup as a tortoise. Great job!

[@randylanders3741]

The tortoise shell was painted by Lee Drew and his family. It's actually a motorcycle skull cap. :)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles meets Star Trek.... I like it! 😆

[@HairyHarrisFilm]

Interesting, as usual. You have a Tortoise at the helm, now you need a Hare at navigation! Cool ship.

[@larrygrebler5054]

Thanks for the laugh.

[@RangerRoy]

Great to see Jose in command of a battle sequence! Good job everyone! Their charging weapons and targeting, ,. . .us!

[@HeyitsHilda]

Well done, Firehawk crew!

[@01grhornet]

My daughter, Stevie Drew painted the turtle shell headpiece. I think it turned out great. :)

[@Potemkin1711]

Very much so. I think Ann and I painted Cheryl's face appliance.

[@wernerlouderback6796]

Pretty fancy maneuver 😁👍

[@Raggedymannn]

Thank you for playing together, love seeing different groups play together, the stories are richer together as solo but together feels as a fellowship which we are, you creators, actors, music, camera, special effects, editor and others did super on this film as did the writer the story, thank you all for creating together and solo🖖

[@Potemkin1711]

Actually, it's turtle gal.

[@quantumstereotv6319]

I like Turtles! love it. Always support the hardcore trekkers and trekkies like this.

[@FPjr-filkferretproductions]

Nice Job everyone :)

[@randylanders3741]

Thanks, Frank!!!

[@MatthewCaunsfield]

Lots of people have mentioned the turtle, but what about the gorilla? 🤔

[@Potemkin1711]

Our Simian got no love, did he?

[@Schindlerphoto]

"They're charging weapons and targeting...us." Can he be anymore dead pan in his delivery? Kudos on your effort though, not everyone gets to live their dream.

[@Potemkin1711]

Robin Curtis when she says, "Admiral, David is dead"?

[@Schindlerphoto]

@@Potemkin1711 Robin Curtis had put a lot more emotion into that line than you realize. She didn't look like she was just reading a line. Remember, Vulcan characters still have emotions, they are just better at hiding them, but they are still there.

[@JAEUFM]

Wait, if the helmsman gets spooked, does he pull back into his shell?

[@Potemkin1711]

She isn't afraid of anything. And you don't want to see her eating lobster.

[@jefftappan3091]

Mixing uniforms.

[@the_mighty_bearcat]

Is the turtle-lady at the helm a race in the Star Trek universe I am unfamiliar with? Seems somewhat familiar, but I cannot place it. And what station is the Simian monitoring?

[@Potemkin1711]

She is a Chelon, a species of our own creation, but it was inspired by Grig of The Last Starfighter. The Simian is at Security and is Chief Security Officer.

[@the_mighty_bearcat]

@@Potemkin1711 Ah, yes, Grig! That must be why it is somewhat familiar. Looks good. As far as the Simian goes, what you’re saying is … he is there to put a stop to any monkey-business? 😎

[@Potemkin1711]

@@the_mighty_bearcat Absolutely. Security Chief Zako is a gentlebeing not to be trifled with.
