Reminds me when Data and Geordi was testing that phaser right next to the damn Warp Core.

Forget the episode but it's the one Romulans mind controlled Geordi.

It's crazy that the entire engineering section on Starfleet ships is just right next to the warp core, with absolutely zero structural separation.

The number of times ships had to eject their warp core, or had the warp core go critical, or had other warp core related accidents, you'd think Starfleet would have learned not to exclusively rely on emergency force fields and that they would have simply built two separate sections for engineering and for the warp core.

But no, even after all those experiences, they instead even ditched the isolation doors when they designed the Intrepid class, and basically wrapped the engineering section around the open warp core.

Cause what could possibly go wrong with that approach, eh?

Thanks I hadn't read that in a few years. Classic.
