2. you remember the Paklids?
you know the TNG species that seemed "dumb" but captured Giordi for weapons knowledge? They would say "We look for things to make us go. You are smart, we are not smart. We look for things...". They had big eyebrows. I believe the episode name was "Samaritan Snare". Those are the people I'd take out.

5. The Paklids WERE NOT good hearted.

You watched the episode, right? They were tricked to get Geordi beamed back. They werent going to give him back. They wanted the Enterprise too, and were willing to kill for it. Plus they were REALLY FUCKING IRRITATING :puke:

7. Yes they did,
they were a technologically unadvanced species that acquired scientific knowledge via theft, fraud, kidnapping and murder. Their speech was not advanced, that does not mean they didn't have the intelligence to acquire as much information and technology as they did.
I also find ferngi irritating. But Paklids , I feel , pose or more immanent threat.

4. I knew a guy in NJ that said if he was ever diagnosed with terminal
cancer, he was going to take a gun and shoot everyone ripping along the shoreline of the bay on a jet ski. I forget the guy's name. But it will probably ring a bell if I read it in the newspaper.

8. Orion Slave Girls.
See if I can't hook myself up with the Ferengi Sex Trade too.

Or I could steal the Enterprise-E, fly it around the sun so fast that I go back and avoid doing what I did to get the virus, or have genetic manipulation done on myself to prevent it, something along those likings.

9. you would still be in your own timeline
regardless of whatever other timeline you visited. Time would still be progressing for you, as would your illness. This also goes under the answer : Best that Starfleet Medical has to offer.

10. Other
The Borg have a cure, though it would cost me my identity. Still, I'd ultimately be helping a collective intelligence, and that beats the snot out of the Ferengi, who have no intelligence.
