Data is a fantastic Captain. Really love him in the bridge.

The artifact is stupid. Yeah it works through shields, but takes five seconds to kill a single person. How is it a superweapon?

Aim it at a battlefield or planet and thousands/millions/billions at war die instantly. I don’t believe it’s meant for individual use.

It looked very individual in the end, though, but maybe she simply didn't know how to use it properly?
