In this one, it looked an awful lot like they got dusted, to me.
Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 4x04 "Something Borrowed, Something Green"

I would prefer this, I think, because I've been having trouble reconciling a sitcom spending a few minutes most episodes this season racking up a body count that would now be in the hundreds, or even thousands.
As a franchise, of course, Star Trek can handle both silly comedy and lethal brutality (and even Lower Decks has successfully juggled in a few serious scenes amongst the comedy, at times), but the way these vignettes have been inserted into the A plots this season is like if in "The Trouble with Tribbles" Arne Darvin had been gang-raped just before the credits rolled.

It would explain why he needed the orb of time so bad.
