  “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.

      To be fair, when she does fix it in four seconds, she’ll have already told Janeway that she’s going to have to shove the whole crystal mass by hand, and it will require all hands working triple shifts to fix all the problems doing so will create.

      Then she shoves the whole thing, and spends the next two weeks fixing all the damage.

      Janeway sips her coffee after a long night of rest and looks upon her haggard crew and Congratulates them for a job well done.

      She then finds a random ensign to promote in front of Harry.

      The Ship Must Go.

    Of course he didn’t! He did it yesterday

  Wasn’t there an episode where they said it would take like 24 hours and they were told you have 12 so the tech replied with “that’s now how it works sir it will take 24 hours”

    I remember that at the beginning of Voyager. Janeway tries that on B’elana and she responds with something similar.

    That’s what happens when you don’t listen to Scotty.

      I love the difference between the 2 styles of engineering.

      LaForge knows how to game the system.

      Scotty knows how to play the people.

    That’s from Stargate SG-1. The conversation is between Hammond and Siler.

    If you want to skip the validation cycle, we can have it done in 18, but we’ll have a high chance of blowing up.

  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.

    I’ve been watching Lower Decks thanks to all the memes here. I’m loving it.

      It’s even more enjoyable when you’ve seen all the episodes and trek moments they reference along the way

  • xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Picard knows about the 27 days of buffer time in that statement and just cuts it out lol

    As an actual engineer, that shits real

    • Honytawk@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      That isn’t just an engineer thing.

      Every worker needs some time for themselves. Nobody is capable of doing a single job for multiple hours without at least some slacking off. It is human nature.

  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.

  source

  • Honytawk@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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

  Stargate was so notorious for this that it became a running joke in Atlantis.

  • SARGEx117@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It’s fine, the Deadelus-ex-machina and Apollo are conveniently on their way to/from earth/atlansltis or conveniently rerouted for vague reasons and will arrive just in time to save the day.

    Time-travelling to get your job done in time? The Enterprise sounds stressful…

  Picard isn’t an idiot and knows it doesn’t take long to rotate a crystal.
