“No, Captain. When I say tomorrow, I mean tomorrow. I don’t exaggerate.” - B’Elanna Torres, such a fucking badass.
You have 4 seconds.
Ok.

She once balanced a phaser between two random shuttle components to rig up an ad-hoc force field that saved her and the shuttle crew from being blown out into space. And she managed to save the shuttle, a shuttle she had just finished to help design and build in a matter of weeks. The best chief engineer in starfleet.
I’m deep into a long overdue Voyager rewatch, and forgot how awesome she was.

rubbingrunnigUh.
Doing it faster doesn’t take a miracle - it takes flooding deck seven with deadly fluorine gas.
Do you need this done more than those people need to breathe? Serious question. I have the button right here. Tell you what, you press it when you’re ready.
One of those shorts where Joel is not acting.
“You didn’t tell him how long it will really take?” Scotty
Of course he didn’t! He already did it yesterday
Tbh I don’t get these kind of memes, as far as I remember picard never really gives a deadline, just asks for it as quick as possible, with geordi busting his ass every time to try to get it done, regardless of whether or not it’s actually possible.
And, in those situations, I really don’t think picard is being unreasonable. When your options are “do the tech thing” or “have long odds at pulling something else off”, asking for the tech thing as quickly as possible sounds pretty reasonable to me
Idk I’m overthinking a meme
Honestly, that is why Picard is such a great captain.
He trusts the capability of his crew, and let them do their jobs instead of micromanage. They know what is at stake and what deadline is possible.
we all overthink memes sometimes lol
you’re not wrong tho lol
Under promise, over deliver. A true engineer.
buffer time, baby
I’ve been watching Lower Decks thanks to all the memes here. I’m loving it.
Picard knows about the 27 days of buffer time in that statement and just cuts it out lol
he knows that sneaky mf is just gonna spend all the time with holo Brahms
holo Brahms doesn’t make LaForge solve the heat death of the universe in 3 days
Picard isn’t an idiot and knows it doesn’t take long to rotate a crystal.
All you gotta do is poke it with a stick and it’ll be “repositioned”
“Kelvin Kirk crawled inside the warp core and kicked the emitter back into position. Show some initiative, Mr. LaForge!”
Stargate was so notorious for this that it became a running joke in Atlantis.

I guess we’ll have to time travel again
Time-travelling to get your job done in time? The Enterprise sounds stressful…
