Unrelated anecdote:

Years ago I had a cheap Blackberry lookalike phone. It had a button lock feature to prevent butt dialing, but some bright spark decided that the lock wouldn’t apply to the ‘9’ and ‘1’ keys, presumably so that a user could dial 9-1-1 even if too panicked to unlock the keypad. Which just meant that it was really easy to butt dial 9-1-1…

In emergency cases most holograms can be shut off to match increased energy demands by weapons and shields.

Disengage the safety protocols and suddenly you’ve got weapons and shield emitters than ought to work just as well as their material counterparts, but can’t be damaged (or any damage can be instantly reset). We know that holograms can be projected into space so the only limitation would be the range of the holoemitters.

1. LaForge because obviously

2. MacDougal because she knows that isolinear chips are not toys

4. Logan because he’s an arrogant dick

And her first officer, Stockholm syndrome man.

All hu-mans look alike.

Soon the world will burn in nuclear fire… again!
