Troi in the background smiling in the bottom panel just makes it so much better.

Unrelated Sidenote: The music from Subspace Rhapsody is on Spotify. Just saying.

    This is beautiful. I feel silly it took me a couple reads. Then in a flash I saw Picard elbowing Data out of the way to mash the fire button like a kid playing Tekken for the first time. Desperate shots go wide, there’s a heavy sigh as realization sets in…he stands up straight, smooths his uniform, “Onscreen.”

      Here I am just singing along to the Subspace Rhapsody soundtrack and I have to pause it due to laughing so hard at your comment. A very vivid picture of what you described popped into my head and I love it.
