The nacelles are dark because, uh, they're undergoing some routine dilithium maintenance, and they have to pick up Troi, who is returning from a conference on a shuttle, but no warp at the moment.
Given the vastness of space and how fast warp drive is and how slow impulse drive is, would you ever consider just, like, staying at full stop instead of going at impulse?
In the kinds of sci-fi where faster than light travel does not exist, often what you're reading about is ships that spend a lot of time really close to the speed of light, and their crews experience really intense time dilation because they're, they're constantly accelerating until-
... to not be going at an insane rate of speed when they arrive at whatever their destination is.
And I wonder if going at impulse causes some time dilation if you leave it on too long.
Like, like, "Yeah, we were at impulse for, like, two days, and, uh, afterward, like, I, I, I called my niece to wish her, like, a happy birthday 'cause she was turning eight, and, uh, a fucking PhD candidate picked up the phone." You know?
Well, they don't have that protection, and also not having any protection is Tasha Yar in the martial arts tournament.
She's a fox.
In France, she would be called La Renard.
A valid assumption.
But Worf has bet heavily because he's apparently not in the martial arts tournament.
