hmm, when was my last time i used some trek in my playlist...
ruclips.net/video/JpJu7nFgTLY/видео.html
I do appreciate you uploading all these lovely TNG clips to youtube, i really do. But please can you not force the volume levels up of the original audio in such an extreme manner, you can literally hear the audio crackle and distort and it gets a bit annoying after a while.
@@wibblewobble1934 I used to get countless complaints saying that the clips were too quiet, you're the first person to have a problem since I turned the volume up 🖖
Worf: procedure dictates I ask for your alibi.
Geordie: I don't have one
Worf: cool
Worf: I ran tight security
Odo: hey, remember when you had someone beam weapons down, and out of your suspects, your chief engineer didn't have an alibi, and you didn't take him into custody. Then, it turned out he did it?
Worf: ...
@@Zhortac when Odo reads off a whole list of security breaches :D. To be fair, they were always telling him to not do things.
Procedure states I have to mop the floor, Not that the floor must be cleaned
@@mc-zy7ju If Worf knew a little more of Odo's history, he could've clapped back with the fact that he let three innocent people be executed simply because his need for order and justice combined with the pressure he was getting from the Cardassians led him to jump to conclusions and not do a thorough investigation. And then when he found the actual criminals afterwards, he kept it a secret for over a decade, only admitted to it when an accident led to some of the senior crew reliving his memories.
I mean, sure georde was the only one without an alibi, but if he really were the one who did it then wouldnt he try to disguise it in some way to make it seem like anyone could have done it?
"Damn... whoever pulled this off must've been extraordinarily clever, and handsome, and had stylish space sunglasses."
And was black
Tbf he doesn't know he did it. They mind controlled him through his visor's connection to his brain.
@@patrciaclemons8183 Geordi doesn't know he's black tho.
And enjoys pulling himself off.
lol
You guys are being too hard on Worf here. He has no reason at all to suspect Geordi. Sure his Alibi isn't solid but you have to keep in mind that this is the Chief Engineer of the ship and Geordi has had several opportunities across the years for sabotage or to otherwise act as a spy. Not to mention he's completely cooperated with the investigation, to the point where they probably wouldn't have discovered Cargo Bay 4 without him. He also Implicated himself as a potential suspect right off the bat, and is a personal friend of Worf who has saved his life several times.
More importantly, this investigation is on a deadline. They NEED to find the spy/saboteur and fast. Worf had to make a call here on how to spend his limited time. Does he A. Investigate Geordi, who he trusts and has no reason to suspect beyond his Alibi not being solid, B. investigate the other 3 suspects who all have rock solid alibis. Or C, Consider the very real possibility of an impostor or infiltrator aboard the ship?
Worf made a completely logical choice here, just because it was the wrong choice doesn't mean his reasons for making it were wrong.
Completely agreed. My thoughts were more like, check for fresh fingerprints on the memory DIMMs lmao
hmm, not convinced. If I where him I would have fastforwarded the episode to where he solves the plot.
I see where you're coming from, but you've fallen into a logical fallacy in assuming Word had to pick one option. The real solution is both A and C, at the same time.
@@inajar7947 It's not a fallacy because then he would have to pursue c without Geordi's help, they have war on the line here they need all hands on deck. Worf is n't even going to consider investigating the chief engineer who is actively working on solving the case.
It doesn't change the numerous reasons I listed that show why Worf would never suspect him in the first place either. The Romulans plan was very smart. You can't catch somebody who has no idea they're guilty.
They got really lucky that Data detected the messages, if he hadn't their plan would've totally worked.
Bah! Worf is a great as a night club bouncer. Tuvok is a better more efficient detective
"At least we know Data can't have been compromised."
"How?"
"It's not his turn."
Legit funniest thing I’ve read today
"Brent only show up for two day of filming."
Worf: Who could do this?
LaForge: Like 4 people.
Worf: Who doesn't have an alibi?
LaForge: Just me.
Worf: ... Damn. Who could it be?
That part always irked me.
Geordis story could be confirmed by the computer if it tracks his communicator's whereabouts
@@davidbennett288 If it did that, then the computer would report that not only was he not in his quarters but he was actually at the scene of the crime which would be a dead giveaway unless he altered the computer to misreport his whereabouts which I guess he could have pulled off.
@@blockmasterscottWorf would have never suspected him because it wasn’t in his character. This wasn’t his doing as he was brain washed. Worf was short sighted, but his intuition of Jordie was correct
Geordie: I was alone in my quarters...
Worf: Based on your track record with dating, this checks out.
Honestly... That would have been something that would have been hilarious to hear.
geordie: i was in my quarters
worf: was there somebody with you?
geordie: no, i was alone
worf: good, that was a trick question. your answer checks out.
LMAO!
Worf: "Captain, recommend we fire a full spread of photon torpedoes to uncover the truth."
“Agreed. Full spread, maximum yield.”

@@iceho6460Picard: “Quiet, you. This isn’t your show. You don’t exist here.”
Laforge: there must be some trail we can follow to find him.
Worf: fingerprints on circuit cards? (maybe he wasn't wearing gloves).
Laforge: nah, too old school!
didn't see this until after my comment.
Seriously that would have made this episode a lot shorter lol
@@johnmackelvey Old rule for anyone who writes: Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
If this was made today, they'd find touch transfer DNA evidence, and know who touched those chips last and how long ago with a sweep of the tricorder.
Stuff like DNA tech already really dates this show unfortunately....
@@Eddie42023 I thought that saying was just for Lawyers.
Rewatching these episodes now that I'm older and wiser, I can't help but think how silly it is that they don't have video surveillance and forensic analysis at their disposal. It would have been so easy to identify geordi
But Geordi did the equivalent of erasing the video surveillance; even if there had been, Geordi would have known it existed, and erased that also.
Very true. Tho given how easy it is to manipulate the video monitoring in the present day, it would be no real benefit in this specific situation. But tracking commands and power transfers is somewhat a forensic science.
No. He could erase that too.
@@andrejflis8161 Wouldn't even be much to manipulate. The cargo bay was otherwise empty, so just replay the last frame for a few minutes, et voila, no video evidence.
"There must be some kind of trail we can follow..."
"...like the fingerprints all over every single chip?"
Yeah Geordi, who the hell could pull this off?
Geordi:
*walks up to you and peers intently, then walks off*
*Data walks off whistling*
A brilliant plan, with only one major flaw. Not even Geordie Laforge can out-Geordi Laforge Geordi Laforge!
Seriously though, I picture Columbo leaving Geordi's room like, "Oh yeah, _just one more thing!"_
Geordi: What is it now, Lieutenant? I'm in a hurry!

@@jonathansotelo4877
Pretty much Jonathan. Worf would be more of a give-me-an-hour-alone-with-the-perp... I'll bring my own rubber hose.
It's the Klingon honour code. He's loyal to his friend. So he goes through with the necessity of asking him where he was, but trusts the answer.
it's why the romulans got lucky with him, because you have a crew that has that kind of connection they wouldn't suspect their friend

Worf: "Procedure requires that I ask each of you where you were at 11:23 hours."
O'Brien: "Well I was with Keiko. In the arboretum."
Data: "I was on the bridge, at my station."
LaForge: "I was alone in my quarters, and Costa was on duty in Engineering."
Worf: "Computer, verify locations of O'Brien, Data, LaForge and Costa at 11:23 hours."
Computer: "O'Brien was on deck 6, corridor D-17, moving between the arboretum and his quarters to change his uniform after falling into potting soil.
Data was in Captain Picard's ready room, feeding the fish.
LaForge was in Cargo Bay 4 deleting transporter logs and leaving fingerprints all over my circuits.
Costa was in Cargo Bay 5 transporting crates of weapons to the surface."

How was it? I don't remember it well and will rewatch if it's decent.

@@Eddie42023 nerd
Worf should've arrested him then and there, would've been hilarious!
4:14 I think Worf suspected O'Brien
why is Worf relying on eye-witness testimony when sensors can track an individual from anywhere in a star system, smh
@@radfordmcawesome7947
Well whoever did this crime has already shown they can manipulate the computer, so eye witnesses are probably a good call.
I want to know why they aren't scanning the chips for dna from when they were handled.
@@radfordmcawesome7947 Don't forget about fingerprints.
Oh Geordi, you were alone in your quarters? The perfect self-witness alibi! Great investigating, Word...
Yes, another episode of Star Trek where they show that they can keep track of where replicator energy is being routed at a specific time, but they can't keep track of who is in what room at a given time or fingerprints somehow don't exist. A plot hole is that Data uses the fact that he knows the location of personnel to prove that it was the Ambassador in proximity to La Forge.
Geordi deletes records as he goes, it literally shows this
@@damo9961 He deleted the record of the transport, and his tampering, he didn't delete the record of him not actually being in his quarters but in the cargo bay when the transport happened. Even if he did there would then be a notable gap where the ship lost track of him during the time of the crime, that would be very suspect. Geordi can't hide everything as the outside sensors still detected the transport and the ship status systems still caught the power spike despite it being redirected from another system.
I love how in retrospect, how this confirms what we see from Chief O'Brian on DS9. The enterprise was filled with the best of the best. Who could have done this. La Forge, Data, 1 other person, and O' Frick'n Brian. love it.
O'Brian is a smart cookie. I did enjoy his episodes of DS9.
Could have.
and remember - o'Brien is "just" Chief = enlisted crewman
according to Memory Alpha:
"In Starfleet, an enlisted crewman was one who had *not completed the four-year Starfleet Academy course*. Enlisted crewmen receive *basic training*, along with any specific courses required for their position at the Starfleet Technical Services Academy on Mars, before being posted."
this man is HIGHLY overqualified for his rank 😲
@@momokochama1844 That he hadn't made Master Chief before the end of DS9 is damned near criminal.
@@tanall5959 Enlisted rarely get the respect they deserve. In retrospect, it would have been more fitting if he'd been a US-style Warrant Officer (i.e. "Chief" Warrant Officer) given his level of skill - however, that often requires multiple educational degrees, which I'm sure the former Security, then Helm, then Transporter Chief Enlisted NCO, and later Station Chief of Operations, didn't have.
Check for *fingerprints* on the memory chips. Good old fashioned 20thcentury sleuthing skills.
Geordi investigating himself.
Sounds like a great idea for a movie.
I think there might have been a movie about someone with a split personality committing a murder and then investigating it.
@@Dowlphin Secret Window
"I know you hid my car keys, Picard; only the Federation would stoop so low."
The comm badges are tracked by the ships computer and internal sensors. How is this a mystery? Are they ALL in on this?
Just shows how half-assed the writing was.
That's probably the first thing he covered up.
Also all that advanced tech must make people blind to oldschool methods like fingerprints.
@@veerakuusela5005 It is weird how they seemingly forget even basic forensics techniques by the 23rd century.
Plus Troi, the only one who can "sense deception," is conveniently nowhere to be found.
Damn! That time Geordi Was like a crackhead helping you look for the money he stole from you.
I think Geordi was brainwashed half a dozen times. He became a serious security risk but kept his job 😂
Picard was brainwashed by the borg. Riker. Troi. Data. Multiple people were blackmailed. Name one character that wasn't.
@@nyetloki
There was one episode where everybody on the ship was brainwashed except a few.
That goddamned visor had more security holes than Windows XP.
The most remarkable thing about this episode is the end. It ends with Troi actually being useful. it also hints at how much work she must actually do, given how often someone on board gets their brain scrambled for them. I mean, Picard has been run through the ringer three times, just off the top of my head.
you ship internal sensors can tell you when someone is not aboard and when/how they left and Worf couldn't just check the log for the internet sensors for the cargo bay at the time of transport?.... right plot armor. still a good episode
He was deleting the logs as he went along. Presumably that includes the internal sensor logs.
It was also the 90s, i don't think they anticipated our capacity for surveillance and data recording that we would have just 30 years later.
The sensors were under maintenance by O'brien that day and he knew and just didn't say it aloud (cause who would)...that's how I work around it in my head. Dunno if it help you along. I ruined so much for myself thinking like that as well man.
Yeah the computer can detect where people are from their combadges
@@mc-zy7ju Except it's written into the franchise how the internal sensors can literally track every single person on the ship constantly. See: Any episode where someone asks where someone else is. The ship even knows if they're not onboard anymore. Ontop of that, EVERYTHING is logged. What you had for lunch yesterday? The meal, the exact time it was ordered, and the replicator terminal it was ordered from are all in the logs.
How about check the panel / chips for fingerprints no more than 1 hour old
Or fresh DNA (dead skin cells & the like)?
Sometimes relying on all this "magictech" tends to overlook the simpler approaches.
Was my very first thought in the last seconds of the clip.
I think I remember them doing this in other episodes. I guess we can't have the mystery solved to easily for the plot this time around.
Security cameras on a galaxy class ship? Naaaah
@@sharkdentures3247 There's an episode where they need a DNA sample of Crusher to restore her after a transporter accident. They were trying to figure out where they'd find one. They realized her hair brush would have some loose hairs on it. So what, the scanning tools/sensors that can literally detect DNA from hundreds of miles away and could scan her quarters for her DNA she shed all over the place with her skin cells won't work in this situation? Failing that, how about the fact that a DNA profile on record is STANDARD for all Starfleet personnel?
I love how Worf was like, "Geordi, was anyone with you in your quarters?" And when Geordi says no, everyone just goes, "Yeah, that tracks."
Poor Geordi. He had a worse love life than Data, and that doesn't even make sense.
Tasha did call Data a "precious jewel" for his special skills. Meanwhile Geordi has to program his own holo-deck scientist "reenactments".
Nothing like a Tjwparso TNG clip in the morning to send me into a day of bingeing Star Trek.
4:25 Worf conveniently glosses over that Geordi has absolutely ZERO alibi about being in his quarters.
Geordi and Data would find out that the power was routed through the food replicator so that the cooking of the beans weren't detected.
Ya gotta love, that even when being manipulated, laforge is subtly trying help too.
there are video cameras in grocery stores....where are the cameras???????
Yeah isn't this the 24th century?
They don't believe in them in the 24th century
Geordi erassed the logs.
@@bloodred255 this is why you have separation of power. No one should ever have full control over everything.
@@cryofpaine Not even the Chief Engineer? Who is pretty much in control of everything? He is like the Head Technician of an entire company, which means he has access to everything.
Uncloaking? It's declaoking. C'mon Worf, get your head in the game.
When “off the shoulder” goes horribly wrong!
Just how many takes before they just went with what we got?
this channel has gotten me into star trek again! seeing the interesting snippets of the different plots makes me go to Netflix and watch the entire episode! and the fact that you post the season and episode makes it easy for me too
Everyone's going "all they need is check fingerprints!" and I mean...yes, however could the *chief engineer's* fingerprints get all over the entire ship's systems? I mean, it's not like he goes all over the ship and sooner or later has touched everything in it... Basically, yes, his fingerprints would be there. As they would be on everything else on the ship. "Captain, we even found his fingerprints on your favorite teacup."
Captain Picard: bring La Forge to my ready room and the cup........
Older fingerprints are being surpassed by new ones. You can read more details from the whole picture.
They might have found fingerprints not belonging to the four people considered.
Two BOP and one Vorcha, yeah that will do it. If Riker was in command he would loose to one 20 year old BOP
Only if Geordi's VISOR has been hacked...
Oh wait...
Based on how many times Data has gone off the rails or been impersonated by someone else, he should have been Worf's primary suspect.
Wouldn’t the ships sensors be able to track Geordi’s heat signature was nearby his comm badge in his quarters? If he was innocent that’s what I would look for to corroborate his alibi
It was the 1980s/1990s. The Surveillance State hadn't really caught on big yet. They had several times throughout ST history done the occasional "is so-and-so on the ship?" but I don't recall at anytime them running full-time tracking on each crewmember. It'd require a startling amount of processing power and data storage. It might make for an interesting "racial profiling" episode or arc. It would definitely become a freedom-of-movement issue and would dwell into ST politics about human rights. What I always wanted to know is what they did with all those ships logs.
@@desecration171 honestly real time tracking of each crew member on the ship would not even be a rounding error in either processing or storage on that ship.
I know that the situation creates plot holes about surveillance and monitoring procedures, but this is still a great episode. I always find this part unsettling and eerie. Imagine having to try to outsmart yourself without knowing that you're trying to do so.
Geordi: _'There's got to be some kind of trail we can follow..._
Uhm yeah right here. 0:05 You're welcome.
I should join Starfleet.
These are awesome quality vids..thanks for uploading!
Just here to say thanks for your chnnl. You always go above the rest and put on very professional looking clips. Thats very appreciated.
Even watching this in the early 90s this seemed off - the crew were tracked and monitored at all times while on board.
Most if the time, the combadges were tracked, each one programmed for the individual it is assigned to. We see people evade routine monitors simply by removing the badge. Any engineer would be able to make a dummy combadge to look like they are wearing one while they leave the real one stashed. The sensors would have to be programmed to look in a certain place or for certain lifesigns to actually find and track individuals, which would do no good after the fact.
@@MGower4465 good point
@@boundaryzero Plus, Geordi is the Chief Engineer. After Data, he would be the one most capable of erasing any traces of what he did from the ship's sensor logs.
4 people that could have done it and 3 have alibis, one doesn’t and worf is instantly like oh well must be someone else here… Great security Worf!
Look at Worf staring at O'Brien for just a little too long... I'm convinced he suspected him, thinking he was using Keiko as an alibi haha 🖖
In 2021, I can see who's at my front door while I'm sitting on the toilet. How many sinister plots aboard the Enterprise would've never made it to first base had Starfleet invested in some decent security cameras?
It was a 1990s view of how the future would be. They thought that there would be cameras in a lot of places, yet they never considered them to be small enough to be placed in hand held devices.
@@joelellis7035 Wall-mounted surveillance cameras were a thing back in the 1990s.
ASimoneau - I see a flaw in your reasoning. First, the Enterprise doesn't appear to have toilets. Second, it doesn't appear to have a front door.
Well actually, yall, the ship DOES track your every move. You're right that this is the 1990's view on what the future might be, and its also true nobody thought cameras would get as small as they have, but they did think some kind of sensor would.
Thats why they have sensors everywhere.
Literally, all Worf had to do was ask where the crew was at the specified time, and it should have been able to answer. Its been shown many times on screen.
Its a major plot hole in this episode. This mystery should have lasted 45 seconds after they found out which transporter was used.
While they were at it, they should have bought motion detectors. How many times did we hear about intruders that don't register on internal scans? A motion detector would solve that.
Geordi should’ve been suspected. As Mr Spock said in Star Trek 6:The Undiscovered Country
“When you eliminated the impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable must be the truth.”
He was quoting Sherlock Holmes.
@@MundaneGray I know, but thanks.
Spock: there’s an old Vulcan proverb-only Nixon can go to China
Great episode. Smart dialogue and creative storyline.
Every time I see a complicated technical thing like this, it makes me think about Scotty disabling a shit by pulling some bolts.
That's a great way to disable complicated electronics but not if you want to cover up the fact that you tampered with it at all.
@@AlexanderRM1000 That is true. Usually when a saboteurs disables something, they are trying to be sneaky about it. I guess since they were stealing the Enterprise, Scotty was more worried about getting the job done rather than the Excelsior would figure out it was him.
Re watching this now I see how obvious it was that Laforge was the culprit, yet due to how everyone liked him no one wanted to see that he could even possibly be a suspect.
"Computer, who was in cargo bay 4 at time of xxx" Lt. Cmdr Laforge.... capt. I found our culprit
"There's got to be some kind of trail we can follow."
Didn't think to check for fingerprints?
I like how despite Geordi being the only one without an alibi, Worf doesn't immediately jump to the conclusion that its him, we know it was by now but he still has to verify and investigate further and not cast suspicion without evidence. It was kind of frustrating at first that he didn't put him under watch or into custody as a security measure but it was also satisfying that he didn't immediately.
Gee, if only there were some method of detecting the identity of a human who handled objects with his bare hands.... *hmmmm?*
exactly
The idea of touch DNA hadn't made it into the mainstream of even forensic investigations by that time. Kind of like an earlier episode where the Enterprise gets infected with an alien program that is slowly rewriting its software (essentially a virus). It took them nearly the whole episode to finally come to the conclusion of wiping all of their systems and doing a full reinstall from backups. Something we view as rather common today. This is always the problem of predicting future problems, sometimes we learn to solve them much earlier than expected.
@@joelellis7035 There's this thing you may have heard of called finger prints...
@@misteryman526 well, I hadn't thought along that line, but to be honest, I think getting a clear finger print would have been difficult. With a lot of the things he contacted, Geordi used the tips of his fingers which would result in partial prints. Furthermore, sweat is needed for a good latent print.
Okay, I have watched way too many forensic crime shows.
"Damn! Who could have pulled this off? (Shakes head) UNSOLVABLE!"
Riker: How many people onboard are capable of this, Geordi?
Geordi: Me-- uh, I mean, I dunno.
Geordi: Let's do a detailed scan of every one of these chips.
Data: Why not try to recover the fingerprints of the person who touched them.
Geordi: Data, we don't do that in the 24th century; this isn't the Sherlock Holmes holodeck program.

@@wilsonj4705 yeah im aware, the lack of security scanners or cameras, the fact every com badge is tracked, this mystery should have been over in 5 mins of investigation
A fantastic episode!
I'm Watching the series backwards, on a fistful of data's right now
400 years in the future and no ones like “Maybe check finger prints”?
How about checking to see if there are any residual fingerprints on all those chips that Geordi moved around. I guess they don't use that form of investigative technique anymore.
Forget fingerprints there is a crap load of dna everywhere in that room. From skins flakes to hair why the crap is No one using a tricorder??
The Consoles are obviously self-cleaning, so there would be no traces on them ;-)
@@cheapspace This is a future where common keyboards are built out of C4 explosives. The collective human IQ dropped 50 points after the Vulcans showed up.
@@michaelstoeckel2954 LOL i stand corrected!
You'd think they'd use one of those LED thingies to look for fingerprints ;)
The Enterprise is so advanced, they don't even check for fingerprints.
Wouldn't his fingerprints be all over those consoles anyway?
@@Mark73 "The age of this set of fingerprints exactly corresponds to the period of time in question. Can you explain this, Geordi?"
In over a dozen series, they have never used fingerprinting. What even makes you think they even do that anymore in the 24th century.
@@titanhades4331 Because there's nothing to suggest that fingerprints stopped existing in the 24th century, and that they're not still unique to a specific individual?
I never understood why the most capable ship for battle Starfleet had was the Enterprise. Their flagship can be a ship of peace, but you'd think that Starfleet could have invested in a few battleships that could out-gun the Enterprise... for situations like this one, where ships like the Enterprise would be at a tactical disadvantage.
Worf: how about we just pull the security tapes and that will tell us who did this
If only they had fingerprint technology, freakin neanderthals 😂
Hm. Since the computer tracks personnel by their communicator badges, couldn't Worf just check the log and see who was in Cargo Bay 4 at the time?
My question is where did Geordie get the crate worth of weapons to beam down to the planet?
Replicators?
@@NorninTGK they got lock in place so you cant make weapons, beside making that many with a replicator would cost a lot of energy and get noticed fast
It's certainly possible for someone to learn how to do this, just for this mission, so basing your investigation on technical capability is not unreasonable, but hardly exhaustive. What he should be asking is who had the clearances necessary to pull this off.
3:13 “dam! Who could have pulled this off!?” You did! You bastard!!!
I was in my quarters eating beans.
Worf: Beans are delicious
Geordie: I was in my quarters.
Worf: Was there somebody with you?
Geordie: You know I only have eyes for you, Worf.
4:38 Shit they could have just used fingerprints on those chips... old school.
ooo in HD quality too, nice
I think they should have kept Geordie's reprogramming hidden till the end. Imagine how much more interesting the investigating scenes would be if you didn't know Geordie was tracking himself down.
Worf didn't really need to ask about their whereabouts. He could have just verified thru the computer
Methinks it's because they've worked together for long enough at this point where Worf can at least reliably trust his own crew to give their word.
@@mistermcphologer3832 that's true. Professional courtesy
Geordi touched it with his hands. Fingerprints don’t exist
The old 'in my quarters alone alibi 🤔 sounds legit
There are now cameras on every corner of every street, but apparently nothing is recorded on the most advanced star ship that the Federation has.
THIS IS STAR TREK AT IT'S BEST. SOLVING PROBLEMS
Worf could've asked the computer where each of the members were. Unless Geordi had left his communicator in his quarters, the computer would have been able to tell Worf who was in the cargo bay.
geordi was erasing logs as he went, id assume that would include internal sensors
Worf-"Then there is someone on board who isnt what he or she seems to be. Oh, Im sure your fine though, La Forge, even though you are the only one that could have done it and has no alibi..."
Ahhh, the Level 1 diagnostic
Missing moar but sounds Cool
Dam! Laforge is so good that he can even fool himself!
Suspect yourself!
Whenever it's convenient to the plot, people can wander around the ship undetected (in this case even while wearing a communicator). But when Captain Picard asks, "Computer, current location of [person]?" the computer instantly knows.
Are fingerprints or DNA traces too archaic to think about as investigational tools in the 24th century? Geordi didn’t wear gloves, lol
Dunno the technology they have is ridiculous they may have some kind of cellular scanner that removes all that stuff. That acts like a rumba for oils. Note they don't have to dust their ships. The screens never have fingerprints or smudges on them. If they had oils from sweaty hands all over the place the ships would eventually get dirty. But Jefferey tubes are pristine like new, even on ships that are 100 years old. A Galaxy class ship heck even an Excelsior class is huge, if they had to clean them a small army would constantly have to be going about the place cleaning.
Wow, K'mpec, Gowron, and Duras are called in to face off against the Enterprise and keep it from warping away. That governor has some very valuable beans.
Worf: Where were you Laforge?
Laforge: I was having an orgy in my quarters.
Worf: IT'S HIM! You didn't think that lie would fool us, did you? I mean, really?
Data: I concur. Laforge should have said 'holodeck', even Westly knows that.
