Clearly you haven’t spent enough time around engineers. There’s a reason the laser warning sign says " do not use remaining eye to look at laser "
Reminds me when Data and Geordi was testing that phaser right next to the damn Warp Core.
Forget the episode but it’s the one Romulans mind controlled Geordi.
“The Mind’s Eye” Season 4 Episode 24
It’s crazy that the entire engineering section on Starfleet ships is just right next to the warp core, with absolutely zero structural separation.
The number of times ships had to eject their warp core, or had the warp core go critical, or had other warp core related accidents, you’d think Starfleet would have learned not to exclusively rely on emergency force fields and that they would have simply built two separate sections for engineering and for the warp core.
But no, even after all those experiences, they instead even ditched the isolation doors when they designed the Intrepid class, and basically wrapped the engineering section around the open warp core.
Cause what could possibly go wrong with that approach, eh?
How else are you going to plug two more warp cores into it?
Thanks I hadn’t read that in a few years. Classic.
Wait, are we the Pakled?
“Quick! Eject the
warp coreengineers!”I feel like they do that all the time throughout the TNG era, owing to the fact that they didn’t have a “science lab” set in addition to the warp core set which at any rate looked cool and they wanted to use it whenever they could.
Sets are expensive.
But yes never ever test a phaser next to the Warp Core, kids. That’s a violation of the OSHA Directive.
I mean at least the pointed it away from the core.
IIRC either data or Geordie were standing right next to the target box when they first it the first time. They sure trusted their aim.
I mean Hemmer’s species (the Aenar) are naturally blind and see through telepathy, all of them. So that really doesn’t include him.
The desire to look into lasers is natural.

“And with it I will take over the Tri-State Area!”
“What is this? A Soong-type Android?”
PERRY the Soong-type Android‽
I was thinking Data, but here we go:
