Ha, Haaa.
That being said, what WOULD they use the tubes for? Maybe an emergency tube incase a pathogen escaped? A treatment chamber for anyone who may have inadvertantly been exposed to a pathogen and needed a dose of the anti-pathogen?

Soong is shown teaching a group of kids "eleven years ago": around 2143. Those kids had to be at least, say, eight years old. So, Soong hasn't worked at C-12 since the early or mid-2130s.
Phlox worked at C-12 sometime before 2151, since we know where he's been since then. If he had worked with Soong, you'd think he'd have mentioned it.
Lucas mentioned in his most recent letter to Phlox that he was about to be transferred, but he didn't say where. It turns out that it was C-12. I don't recall when the last time was that Phlox mentioned getting a letter from Lucas, but, even if we assume it was before they entered the Expanse, we can guess it was 2152.
So, Soong worked at C-12 until the 2130s. Phlox worked there, probably, in the 2140s. And Lucas has only been working there for a year or so, tops, in the 2150s. They've all worked there, but none of them worked there with any of the others.

And, horror of horrors, one of those awful Oirish holograms.
Interesting resume, though. He graduates from college in 1970, does nothing apart from a couple of films in the late seventies, then explodes as a character actor from the late eighties onwards. What did he do in that missing decade and a half?
Anyway, moving along, having just viewed this ep in its entirety -- is it just me or is this Klingon Bird of Prey more heavily armed than its 23/24th Century counterparts?
It has photon torpedoes, and wing tip disruptors which was what we have always viewed with the other BoPs -- but we've also seen its belly disruptors and belly cannons. But did I just see in the preview for next weeks episode disruptors up on the "nose"...or thereabouts...of its "head"? I'm not for sure, but that seems to be overdoing it, to me....

Maybe disruptor cannons become more powerful in the future, so it's less necessary to have lots of weapons points; or perhaps the cloaks that later BoPs have require a whole different type of power-distribution network.

Umm, so far the NX-01 has demonstrated something like eight out of her twelve "gunports", while the NCC-1701-A had eighteen... No great disparity there. (And the BoPs in TNG era probably had more guns than the ones explicitly modeled, too, since we see an aft disruptor fire in "Way of the Warrior")
Then there are the six "real" torpedo tubes and the assorted "unreal" ones on the NX-01, versus just two on the NCC-1701-A (but at least six on the pre-refit NCC-1701).
*Boy* how I hate commenting on something like this when there would be a whole cool episode to analyze... But alas, it's about two years before RTL2 shows it here (and then dubbed in rather dull German).
And *girl* how I hate not knowing how to rename the thread even though I'm supposed to be the mod.
