It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose

I find the lack of Elim Garak disturbing.
Also 12 and 3 have the same person on different timelines.
- Including Garak would be unfair to the others unless he was paired with Neelix or something.
  
  you’re a monster

I'd ask Picard about archaeology. Chakotay and I would be fascinated by his lectures for a few hours then we'd all quietly read and probably nap.

3 feels like the "right" answer but 7 would absolutely be the most fun
- actually either i would probably have to switch seats with O'Brien halfway through because Mariner keeps poking the back of his head and then turning away when he turns around

Saru and Kelvin Spock would probably get along really well. Everyone else would be having heated arguments that I think would be amazing to witness, if not take part in.
I think I'd most like to sit between Mariner and Pike, though.
- Came to the same conclusion, that Saru/Spock would be an enlightening trip.

My first thought was Picard because we'd both quietly read books we brought along, but then again I wouldn't want to miss out on all the crazy space cowboy tales Kirk would share with me. So, in conclusion, Kirk it is.

Honestly blown away no one has said 2 yet. That’s primo b plot setup right there.
- Nope. Not O'Brien. I wanna watch not be part of it.
  If I was told I had to choose between 11 or 2, I'll take 2. I love Boims but I'd end up using him to hit Burnham.

1 if that is Emperor Georgiou. The shit talking would be nonstop entertainment and I’m all in for that. Well, she might kill me, but that’s not a bad way to get out of a 12 hour shuttle trip.
Edit. Fuck, she might put me in an agonizer when we arrive. Maybe this isn’t the right path. But she is super hot and interesting so maybe still worth.

12 for sure, I just want to be hit on by Riker.
- 12 is what I want to pick as well, just because I feel like Riker and Kirk are some of the more gregarious characters, and would make for the best conversation, but that would be three relatively burly dudes in one another's space for a pretty long time.
  I think ultimately I would have to pick 8.

2, because then I get to sit between the two most attractive people in the galaxy.

Seat 9. I’d say Picard and Chakotay would be pretty mellow and level-headed unless Chakotay’s feeling extra resentful about Picard’s handling of Marquis/Cardassian Neutral Zone stuff. It’s then insulated from some of the crazier pairs with level-headed duos, or at least balanced duos (e.g Raffi and Spock or Kira and Gwyn). The exception might be Sisko and Kirk, who would either get along quite well or drive each other to the brink of insanity. Either way, (1 assassinated Romulan senator later) I can live with it. Though maybe after the first hour, I’ll have seat 12 to myself after Riker and Kelvin Kirk go to sick bay for competitive chair-sitting-related injuries…😏

12 hours?
8 or 10. Put in my head phones, put on my audiobook, no one's bothering me.

12 would probably be fun, I feel like it would become a friendly competition of story one upmanship.

2, T'Pol and O'Brien would have no difficulty keeping to themselves so it would be a quiet journey, at least if you were in a soundproof cabin with the two.
If this is open area seating you would be able to hear many of the other characters from anywhere you sit, even if you were depressurizing outside the ship, so there's simply no hope until you finish depressurizing at least.

I think both Kira and Gwyn seem pretty down to earth and would have interesting stories and opinions on various topics. Not overly dramatic nor boring. Would know when to shut up. I would enjoy hearing advice Kira would give to Gwyndala as a young woman growing into her own. Neither companion would be overly boastful, maybe a tad critical, but their struggles bring an interesting angle on how they view life.
