    Should we stand directly behind the tests? Should we do this in the cargo bay? Should we be behind some sort of protective screen?

    All questions Geordie did not ask.

    Also looks like the devices are just sat on top of boxes.

    Not as severe as this, but I always found it uncomfortable that the patients in medical have no privacy what so ever.

    Look boys, a space anomaly! Wow. Never seen anything like it. Let’s drive our spaceship full of families and children right into it! Probes? No no no no. The whole ship!

    That’s absolutely a stack of tool boxes and crates.

    Post-scarcity society that can turn energy into matter and engineers will STILL stack random shit in the lab instead of making a proper mount.

    The same place they tested that completely unknown device that exploded lightning and nearly killed Data. So the next step they took was recreating the condtions and making it explode again to zap Data because he enjoyed the feeling of a near death experience.

    It’s a lot worse than just next to the warp core too. It’s pointed directly at it and there is absolutely no backstop to that tiny target save for the core itself.

      You’ve got it backwards. The phaser’s pointed directly away from the warp core, so the safest possible direction. Geordie’s at the phaser end, and Data’s the one relying on a tiny little target getting hit and using his own body as a backstop.

    But they used a level 9 containment shield! Klavin! The shuttle bay would have been a smarter choice but that warp coil mock up cost a LOT of money and they were damn well using it!

      True.
      That’s why he behaved extra normal.

      Did we ever found out which of the Romulans had that affair with him (that supposedly happened on Risa)? I bet the brainwash tech only went so far & someone had to do the rest manually.

    What could go wrong? It’s not like inertial dampeners ever stop working. People never get shaken around or thrown out of their chairs.

    Shit’s stable.

    And with scanning equipment everywhere around, the thing itself was brought aboard particle by particle via the transporter.
