When someone responds:

“Riker to Worf…”

2.5 seconds

“Go ahead.”

When no one responds:

“Riker to Worf…”

0.5 seconds

“Worf, respond!”

0.2 seconds

Riker nods to a security officer who bolts for the turbolift

“Wait, who is manning security now?!”

And, “Are you really the closest security officer to his quarters?”

The 18-year-old blue shirt that was on the Science II station.
The science II station is better off without his meddling. Federation ships have to be the most frustrated AIs in the galaxy. They built them super smart, able to program living beings out of micro force-fields in their holodecks and yet these guys insist on keeping around a dozen touch screen buttons to push, chips to re-arrange and manually do calculations…
As it fucking SHOULD BE!

Peak Federation starship efficiency, one blind engineer and an infinite supply of holographic Datas.

This is Starfleet at 99.9% power.
