Update: The AMA has concluded. You guys are awesome, and thank you for participating. I hope you found my Admiral-y wisdom insightful.
I'm trying to be less of a lurker here, so figured this would be a good starter post.
I'll still reply now, but not in character. Unless you ask a stupid question ;)
What reference have I completely missed?
DS9 episode “Chrysalis”. There’s a great scene where some augmented, yet socially challenged savants dress up as Starfleet officers. Patrick pretends to be an admiral. When other officers ask him what’s he’s doing, he responds with, “that’s a stupid question,” and they let him proceed with commandeering a ship, etc.
