    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.

      It’s actually a plastic cart, those solid looking parts are drawers, that I believe swing out. My parents have one in black, coincidentally. I’ve noticed it a couple times.

          Also fun fact: Start Trek cannon for TNG says there are dolphins in the enterprise that have some critical function for ship operations. I think they’re supposed to be evolved and sentient or something like that.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

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

    To be fair, the warp core is heavily shielded. That’s still pretty wild though.

      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.
