"You didn't tell him how long it will really take?" Scotty
Of course he didn't! He already 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.
That's from Stargate SG-1. The conversation is between Hammond and Siler.
1x17, Solitudes
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.
buffer time, baby
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
As an actual engineer, that shits real
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.
hell yeah
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.
And, in those situations, I really don't think picard is being unreasonable. When your options are "do the tech thing" or "have long odds at pulling something else off", asking for the tech thing as quickly as possible sounds pretty reasonable to me
Idk I'm overthinking a meme
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
Under promise, over deliver. A true engineer.
Picard isn't an idiot and knows it doesn't take long to rotate a crystal.
All you gotta do is poke it with a stick and it'll be "repositioned"
"Kelvin Kirk crawled inside the warp core and kicked the emitter back into position. Show some initiative, Mr. LaForge!"
