Why is Worf in Engineering anyway?

      Fawkes was so full of shit. This isn’t about honor. I literally will not survive the task. YOU might come out of it stronger, let alone unscathed.

      Edit: Bonus Trek connection with Michael Dorn as supermutant Marcus.

      Possibly, but you know who has a history of surviving things that would kill any other crew member and has exhibited at least incredible radiation resistance even in that very same episode?

      Also, it’s very un-starfleet to consider one member of the crew more irreplaceable or valuable than any other, even if it is true.

        Picard made the best use of his crew and their abilities, but he values them all equally.

        One of my favorite retorts of his:

    So i know this is just a joke, but I imagine the simulation limits one’s options to those present in the room. If she wants to send someone more likely to survive, like Data, there would be a roadblock:

    • Not enough time to get there from the bridge
    • Site to site transporter is down
    • Spot ate Data’s communicator badge
    • Data is commanding the saucer section in another sector
    • Data is on Risa hooking up with Sela

    Something limits the options to those in the room. Georgi is the most qualified, and time is short
