[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) I like to imagine that Lwaxana trained those three. The image of Majel Barret flipping around whacking people with a shock baton is quite amusing. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website 6 points 2 years ago It wasn’t the shock baton that came to mind, rather the TNG episode where Lwaxana figures out that the fish-alien diplomats are frauds and spies. Lwaxana’s telepathic insights could be distracted, but not for long. Even Deanna Troi, a less powerful empath, was able to survive alone undercover on a Romulan ship. Of course there would be Betazoid Intelligence officers embedded in the Federation diplomatic core. Once again, Lower Decks is the show that takes things to their logical conclusion. permalink fedilink source parent
