Rewatching ST:DS9 In a runabout on a survey of star systems near the wormhole, Sisko asks O’Brien to take Jake on as an apprentice.  They find a planet giving off low-level plot contrivance particles.

I’m amazed at the level of detail that went into analyzing the prop computers created over 50 years ago for the original Star Trek.
