As always: be excellent to each other, serious responses welcome, but generally keep it light-hearted.

      I agree that it goes against their core values, but they have shitloads of internal sensors that could be used very unethically.

      The way I figure, if the inertial dampers fail, everyone is gooified regardless of restraints.

        Where are the inertial dampeners when in battle. Seems like every battle we have some one flying across the bridge.

    I always found it hilarious plot convenience, either there’s absolutely no security, or there’s complete 3D holographic imaging available for reconstruction. Whichever is more convenient

    Similar to surveillance, but the lack of pre-emptive warnings.

    “Captain there’s an unauthorized shuttle launch/transport”

    “Can you use the tractor beam/get a lock on them?”

    “They’re too far away/too much interference”

    “Can we please get a warning before the thing actually happens next time ensign?”
