Oddities#

Velura's assistant Smith wants to leave his job at the mining outpost behind, but there's no way to grant him passage on the Enterprise. Data states that taking him "would be against Starfleet regulations", Worf rues that "there is nothing we can do to assist him", and Riker reflects that "he certainly can't come with us". In fact, this encounter has no branching choices at all: you can only click Acknowledge in response to Smith's complaints.

However, at one point, players were clearly meant to have the option of beaming him up. An unexplained but very common glitch turns the "Mr. Smith" topic in the observation lounge into an airing of grievances about his presence aboard ship:

Despite the above, Smith is still back at the D-39 base, and can be killed if it suffers a terrorist attack. Even then, the erroneous lines remain accessible in the lounge.
