Welcome to HangTrek, a Star Trek-themed word game for the Fediverse! This is the tenth poll of the current run.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee! So exciting! It was close, but The Ultimate Computer reminded people too much of chatbots I think, and The Enterprise Incident nudged it out. And again, there were fifteen Es.

(I noticed another place I glitched filling in a letter in the last line. Fixed. Apologies. I'm going to write some tooling to mechanize this.)

Line 4: 5. 3, 6, 3, 9, 4, 3, 7
Line 5: 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 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.
