Being next to a nuclear reactor that‘s gonna melt down with Jean-Luc Picard… well we both won’t know how to deal with that but there’s a good chance that enterprise crew will come and rescue their captain so I might survive. Even if we don’t at least I will die alongside Jean-Luc Picard - that’s something…
you've been put in A Situation. you have to deal with it and get out to the other side alive. luckily a portal opens and a Star Trek character emerges to help!
