Now I kinda wanna see a bunch of Moriartys generated on a ship that has holo-emitters throughout. How fast do they end up taking over the goddamn galaxy?
They would have potential, but Moriarty was defeated by his own ruse, which sounds like something a Barkley neural interfaced level being would have seen a mile away. So Moriarty gets 7/10 for effort! And if he behaves, a gold star.
Eventually he decided he didn’t want to travel the galaxy and became a surly butler in Manhattan, living with a theater producer and an annoying nanny from Queens.
One Moriarty, true, but let’s say he has an intrepid-class vessel with a crew complement of 150 (roughly what Voyager started with). How long before they figure out way to ways to neural interface on their own before ever going elsewhere?
With a personality like Moriarty’s, at least one is guaranteed to attempt gaining dominance over the others. And with a character background like his, that inevitable situation would be expected by all.
So even if they all start out working together for a larger purpose, the idea of the inevitable fight would irk each enough to drive a few into elaborate schemes to come out on top.
The irony will likely be in they will all try killing one another until only the last Moriarty, the true one lol. But I’m half awake and this feels like a potentially good Lower Decks premise.
I think multiple Moriarties would be self defeating. Each of them would have their own mutually exclusive elaborate plots. And of course each other would presume to be in charge.
