          Beckett Mariner: Boimy’s got a phaser rifle! Nice! Now, how are those different from regular phasers?

          Brad Boimler: Uh, they take two hands.

            Presumably higher capacity and maybe better output.

            But like, honestly? Data nuked a dam from miles away with a single shot from the Dustbuster hand phaser.

                Vulcan Science Academy: “Why do you need another warp core?”

                Humans: “we’re going to plug two of them together and see if we go twice as fast.”

                VSA: “Last time we gave you a warp core you threw it into a sun to see if the sun would go twice as fast.”

                Humans: “Hahaha, yeah. It did, though.”

                VSA: “IT EXPLODED.”

                Humans: “it exploded twice as fast.”
