That’s absolutely a stack of tool boxes and crates.
Post-scarcity society that can turn energy into matter and engineers will STILL stack random shit in the lab instead of making a proper mount.
Extra funny since they could just replicate the perfect mount just as easily
They are filled with rocks as is procedure for testing unknown phaser weapons.
smacks phaser
“That ain’t going anywhere”
Nice to see the Brazilian engineering traditions of gambiarra and “extreme go horse” are still used in the future
They don’t teach you that at the dastrum institute
it’s more fun that way, get off my ass!
It’s actually a plastic cart, those solid looking parts are drawers, that I believe swing out. My parents have one in black, coincidentally. I’ve noticed it a couple times.
Looks like Festool tool carts
Not as severe as this, but I always found it uncomfortable that the patients in medical have no privacy what so ever.
Sometimes they get a glittery blanket to hide under.
Fun fact: those blankets are made from the skins of Twilight vampires
Also fun fact: Start Trek cannon for TNG says there are dolphins in the enterprise that have some critical function for ship operations. I think they’re supposed to be evolved and sentient or something like that.
You should watch Lower Decks.

Do you think they know the dolphins from SeaQuest DSV?
And are any of them descendants of Flipper?
That multi-purpose glitter fabric tho, omg, I always hated it so much.
“I’m cold”
“here, use this glitter blanket”
“the fuck?”
“This is really thin and uncomfortable.”
“Yeah, but it’s all, like, futuristic and shit!”
“I needed a picnic blanket”
“here, use this thinn glitter blanket”
“the fuck?”
Dr. Phlox knew how to take care of his patients.
Look boys, a space anomaly! Wow. Never seen anything like it. Let’s drive our spaceship full of families and children right into it! Probes? No no no no. The whole ship!
The same place they tested that completely unknown device that exploded lightning and nearly killed Data. So the next step they took was recreating the condtions and making it explode again to zap Data because he enjoyed the feeling of a near death experience.
Look it’s fine, they pointed it AWAY from the warp core, what more do you want?
It’s either pointed directly at the warp core OR directly at Data’s chest
Data’s prolly into that shit
That’s how he learns to dream
Should we stand directly behind the tests? Should we do this in the cargo bay? Should we be behind some sort of protective screen?
All questions Geordie did not ask.
Also looks like the devices are just sat on top of boxes.
Where did they get those boxes. I’ve never seen them on the show before.
Definitely moving boxes. Probably geordies own. Hasn’t unpacked yet 😆
But they used a level 9 containment shield! Klavin! The shuttle bay would have been a smarter choice but that warp coil mock up cost a LOT of money and they were damn well using it!
It’s a lot worse than just next to the warp core too. It’s pointed directly at it and there is absolutely no backstop to that tiny target save for the core itself.
You’ve got it backwards. The phaser’s pointed directly away from the warp core, so the safest possible direction. Geordie’s at the phaser end, and Data’s the one relying on a tiny little target getting hit and using his own body as a backstop.
What could go wrong? It’s not like inertial dampeners ever stop working. People never get shaken around or thrown out of their chairs.
Shit’s stable.
To be fair, the warp core is heavily shielded. That’s still pretty wild though.
Science doesn’t progress without a few hiccups along the way.
Is it me or does the boxes holding the phaser look like a printer?
Wasn’t Geordie brainwashed by Romulans at that time?
True.
That’s why he behaved extra normal.Did we ever found out which of the Romulans had that affair with him (that supposedly happened on Risa)? I bet the brainwash tech only went so far & someone had to do the rest manually.
Every so often a scene like this shows up to ruin my competency porn.
