This feels like something that could be brought up on Lower Decks.

Kligon kids.

That last bit is important here. Ops, Security, and Engineering all wore red shirts. If you break down redshirt deaths by division, almost all of them are Security, while few are Engineering or Ops. Since Security is a position likely to involve combat, it shouldn’t be surprising if it’s the most dangerous.

Q. No question.

Moopsy wins. Section 31 tried to use them to win the Dominion War, but their agents kept getting killed by them.

Sabotage starts blasting on all subspace channels.

Lost Lemmings?

I think the rest of the Q continuum would prevent it entirely. At worst, the assimilated Q just becomes human, lacking all typical Q abilities. However, the assimilated Q would probably still have knowledge well beyond what the Borg have, so even the knowledge gain alone is a huge help to the Borg.

You’re right, this would be some good lower decks.

I expect that the Very Short Treks won’t be entirely non-canon. For instance, some episode might introduce an event, place, or technology that is actually canon even if the events of the episode itself are not canon.

Alternatively, they could be loosely canon in the same way as the Lego Star Wars shows/games, with the rough events and plots being canon even if exact details are not.

I don’t like sand…

Burn so hot it made every active warp drive explode!

Captain, will you be at my poetry recital tonight?

Really though, isn’t the function of the deflector dish to deflect space debris so it doesn’t hit the ship? If so, I feel like that’s a really dangerous thing to be messing with.
