  • Always thought that was a super weird automated behavior for Utopia Planitia to stick into the ship/computer/LCARS firmware…

    • combat situation
    • Captain (the only one who is briefed on omega stuff) is incapacitated
    • crew trying to, you know, save the ship and not die
    • “omega thingy detected, system lockout activated”
    • crew: what the actual fuck why did the ship stop working and throw an omega on every fucking display?!?
    • crew: can’t operate ship; everyone dies

    Like… that’s a tactically idiotic thing to have. Not to mention, a great zero-day exploit to fuck with starfleet, because if you can figure out how to make readings that look enough like an omega particle, you can potentially effectively mission-kill any and all starfleet vessels in the vicinity, under the right circumstances.
