I brought this one up a few months ago. The general consensus was: K&S were following the time-honored practice of CYA.
What went unexplained was: Why was Scotty so calm and unconcerned when he’d just uncovered clear evidence of sabotage? :dubious:
Computer, is Leutenant Ake Oveur on the ship?
<bloop>working<bloop> Ship taken over. Please enter your next command.
Roger.
Eh?
Now that I think of it, I heard once that the warp core was designed by Renault, so that might explain why they have so much trouble with it.
It’s established on TV that objects in warp need power to stay in warp: otherwise, they just slow down to sublight speeds.
A little like a jet aircraft going faster than the speed of sound…and losing its engines. It doesn’t disintegrate: it just slows down.
The saucer, outside of the warp field, falls into normal space. The TV shows are a bit contradictory on how much turbulence (actors shaking back and forth) will be experienced.
[VOICE OF ZERO MOSTEL]: No kidding! :dubious:
All I have to work with are stone knives and bearskins!
The holodeck is self-cleaning.
But what you don’t want to think about too much is that all organic matter must be recycled on the Enterprise.
Is it just me or does this “replicator” coffee cream taste a bit like asparagus?
That can happen, but it’s guaranteed that they will scratch you when they come.
Yeeeowwwwch!
Because he could tell from their expressions what had happened and knew to shut up about it?
My god! That explains everything! And why, in space, no one can hear your city/country horns.
That’s better than what it could taste like, I suppose.
Since we are mixing up the metaphors real good, *He had found a Nutri-Matic machine which had provided him with a plastic cup filled with a liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.

I was trying to avoid the direct reference to the people that man a naval wessel.
Couldn’t be. He was reporting from the Engineering Deck with his communicator.
Turned off the warp sustainer engine in the sauce drive section.
Yeah, that book link is about why photon torpedoes can travel at warp speed without ANY APPARENT ENGINE… so it’s not much of a fanwank. :rolleyes:
And since selfies were the proximate cause of almost every war or atrocity in the terrestrial Solar System after World War II, forward-facing cameras were banned on communication or computing devices. This ban is enforced with the only OTHER death penalty in the Federation (after the Talosian interdict).
Reminds me of a cartoon in Punch mumble-mumble years ago. Bunch of white coats running around a British rocket base trying to figure out why they can’t get the damn thing off the ground. And plastered across the side of the rocket is a big sign declaring

Ah, yes. The Prince of Darkness.
