I just learned a little bit of trivia about the Star Trek; Enterprise episode, “Dead Stop”.
In the episode, the ship has been badly damaged by Romulan mines and the best speed they can make is warp 2.5, which means that it will take them a lifetime to return to the repair station on Jupiter. Captain Archer sends out a distress call and a Tellarite freighter tells him of a sort of galactic roadside assistance station not too far away. When the Enterprise arrives, the ship is scanned and the environment of the station is adjusted to match that of the ship. The automated repair station gets the ship repaired in record time and only charges 200 liters of warp plasma for its services.
The trivia that I learned about this episode is that the voice of the repair station’s computer was done by Roxann Dawson (B’elanna Torres from Star Trek: Voyager) and, interestingly enough, it seems that Travis Mayweather has a miniature of the NOMAD satelite from the TOS episode “The Changeling” on his desk.
Now I’m off to go watch that episode again.
