Timescape (episode) Aboard a runabout, Picard, Data, La Forge, and Troi encounter time distortions; they also discover the Enterprise, frozen in time, seconds away from destruction. Summary Edit Teaser Edit Commander Riker is sitting on one of the beds in sickbay with two deep cuts on his forehead. "Captain's Log, Stardate 46944.2. Captain Picard and Lt. Picard's experiences were no better – he attended the physiognomy workshop where the lecturer, Dr. Act One While La Forge scans Picard and the Counselor with a tricorder, Troi recalls what has happened, but she can't explain the event.
While Data and La Forge are piloting the runabout, Data reads that there is an engine failure which makes the ship violently jolt and veer to the right. While working in the cabin, the captain notices something unusual: the fruit on the table (which was fresh minutes ago) is rotten. Picard orders La Forge to try and pilot the runabout away from the disturbance. Act Two Act Three. Disruptor. Disruptor is the designation of several types of weapons in common use among many races in the galaxy including the Borg, Breen, Cardassians, Cravic, Dominion, Eminians, Federation, Ferengi, Gorn, Hirogen, Klingons, Lokirrim, Lysians, Pralor, Remans, Rigelians, Romulans, Son'a and Vidiians.
Lysian destroyer starships were armed with a disruptor weapon system that had a capacity of 2.1 megajoules. (TNG: "Conundrum") This was an extremely weak ship-mounted weapon system, as even the Cardassian hand-held disruptor rifles, also known as phase disruptors, had an output rating of 4.7 megajoules. (DS9: "Return to Grace") Cardassian rifles did not normally emit nadion pulses, but could be modified to do so. (VOY: "Endgame") The high-energy disruptor weaponry used by Cardassian warships in 2367 had an estimated coherent output of 700 MW and a 340 kHz rapid nadion effect. The people of Eminiar VII employed sonic disruptor weapons based on projecting high intensity sound vibrations.
Edit Background. Star Trek Annoyances. Antiproton. An antiproton is the antimatter counterpart of a proton. A beam of pure antiprotons was an incredibly destructive weapon. Such a weapon was used by the so-called "planet killer" to destroy planets. (TOS: "The Doomsday Machine") The Crystalline Entity left behind a trail of antiprotons, by which it can be tracked across space. (TNG: "Silicon Avatar") Romulan disruptors left a characteristic trace of residual antiprotons, which could be used to date when the weapon was fired. (TNG: "Face of the Enemy") The deflector dish of Sovereign-class starships was charged with antiprotons. The Jem'Hadar used antiproton beams to detect cloaked ships. In 2372, The Doctor on the USS Voyager used bursts of antiprotons from the warp core to reverse the effects of hyper-evolution on Tom Paris and Kathryn Janeway, by destroying the mutated segments of DNA.
The use of a cloaking device often left residual antiprotons that could expose the ship's presence. See also Edit Antiproton beam Antiproton at Wikipedia. Money. "Well, if you don't need money, then you certainly don't need mine! " -Nog, 2373 ("In the Cards") Money was a medium of exchange used to facilitate transactions of goods or services. Money in the 21st century sense was not used on 24th century Earth. The exact nature of the Federation economy is difficult to describe; while money had not entirely ceased to exist, it did not play the central role in the lives of Federation and Earth citizens that it once did.
However, money was not totally abandoned by all Federation citizens and some individuals, such as Carter Winston, acquired vast personal fortunes during this same period. When preparing to fight the Klingons on Organia, Kirk said "Well, the Federation has spent a lot of money on our training... " The term "starving" may be a social euphemism. Monetary units Edit Background Ronald D.
At least once, Kirk commented to Scotty, "You just earned your pay for the week! " DS9: For The Uniform Review.
