Ten points for whoever picks up on my recent
Simpsons reference without Googling.

To my shame I know very little about SFF fiction, so didn't recognize whatever the references. I'm hopeless at this. You'd have to switch to detective fiction for me to grok* anything!
See post 5147 above.
I mostly agree as to your other observations,
choie, although, for all we know, our PCs are unusual among their crewmates in carrying their communicators even while back aboard the
Yorktown. That was not typically done, from what we saw on
ST:TOS, when Kirk, Spock, McCoy et al. were never far away from a bulkhead- or desk-mounted comm unit while shipboard.
