Welcome to HangTrek, a Star Trek-themed word game for the Fediverse! This is the first poll of a new round. Thanks to @HippieScubaSteve for running the last one, and to @darth_hideout for turning me on to HangTrek!

Our puzzle:

/_ _ _ /_ _ _ _ /_ _ _ _ /_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ /_ _ _ /_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ,/_ _ _ /_ _ _ _ _ _ /_ _ /_ _ /_ _ /_ _ _ _ /_ _ /_ _ _ /_ _ _ _ _ ./

Word lengths: 3 4 4 8 3 8 3 6 2 2 2 4 2 3 5

The Rules:

The host puts up something like this, with blanks to be filled in, and includes a poll with four letters. The winning letter gets filled in, but only if it actually appears in the puzzle. At least one of the poll options must show up in the puzzle, and this process repeats until someone guesses the answer.

If you make a guess, please do it with a Content Warning (CW) so as to not spoil it for other folks still working on the puzzle, as an incorrect guess might still be an extra clue. The first person to guess correctly gets the option to run the next one, if they like, or to nominate someone else.

Welcome to HangTrek, a Star Trek-themed word game for the Fediverse! This is the fifth poll of the current game. The winner of the fourth poll was 'L'. There was one.

Sadly, I realized I've heard a word incorrectly, so I'm stealing back an 'E' from the fourth word and extending it one character, to a length of 9. No other impact, other than my amazement at having misheard something for so long.

Our puzzle:
