For real though, I get goosebumps every time they come up with some novel use for the navigational deflector and save the day.

OC in that I made it just now, but it’s very likely not the first time this comparison has been made.

      In 2374, the ship’s main deflector was modified by Seven of Nine to generate resonant graviton beams to open a quantum singularity into fluidic space. (VOY: “Scorpion, Part II”)
