In Star Trek the Wrath of Khan, it is revealed that all starships have a prefix number, allowing other ships to order a starfleet vessel to lower its shields. This was created in case a vessel is captured by an enemy.



By the 24th century and beyond, is there any evidence that starfleet vessels still have prefix numbers?



I would think they would be a huge risk vs the borg, and off the top of my head I can remember the episode Message in a Bottle in which the Romulans steal a new federation ship. While trying to retake the ship the other starfleet vessels do not use the prefix number.

          They do. In the TNG episode "The Wounded" (S04E12), Picard reveals the prefix code of the USS Phoenix to the Cardassians, allowing them to disable her shields remotely in the hope to stop her attacks on Cardassian ships.

          • The season 2 episode Unnatural Selection also makes use of them, although they're not specifically called "prefix codes".

          One-line joke

          A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
