    Morn on comms is either genius or foolish.

    On the one hand, you can encode any message and the adversaries will be so bored of his constant blabbing that you won’t even need to encode it

    On the other hand, you’ll need to divert your EPS relays all to comms as he’ll still be saying goodbye when you’re light-years away from your last rendezvous. You’ll need serious signal strength before he lets them say goodbye.

      Bonus: He’s old friends with the enemy, so there’s a decent chance he’ll let you live.

        The multiple almost warp core breaches both act as a deterrent but also require you to get assistance from other ships. And knowing your luck it’ll be Sisko and his kid just got in trouble and his autographed baseball was transported into a stew by Neelix and accidentally served by Keiko

      Nobody says goodbye on the space phone. It’s like they concentrated all their effort at being polite in every single other avenue of life that they forgot phone etiquette. Shit, man, Picard would mute the screen but not disable the video and then proceed to point at and talk shit about the person on the other end of the line.

      Morn would only be saying goodbye because it would confuse everyone and give us the advantage.
