Mudds is a notorious dive for all sorts of unsavory rogues. I aced my ‘Hoodlums and Racketeers’ seminar at the academy. Let me do the talking.

Freeman

Somewhere out there, there’s an apex predator and I want it to know I’m the new apex predator around here.

Mariner

How’s your adrenaline still so high? Mine wore off, like, two panics ago.

Mariner: I’m ready for anything. Y’hear that? BRING IT!
T’Lyn: Perhaps we should find shelter before anything is brought.

Tendi: I just need to upload the buoy updates and we’ll be done.
Mariner: This SUCKS. Where’s an unexplained high stakes space anomaly when you need one?

Freeman: Why is my daughter trying to get herself killed?
Boimler: Uh, you noticed that too, huh?

Scientist: Those monsters are going to f–king kill us all!
Mariner: What? I thought you loved them!
Scientist: Only when the fence is up!

T’Lyn: What is the area of your research?
Scientist: The most fascinating creature on Persiov-9. The Venomous Tremble Lizards.
Boimler: How venomous are we talking?
Scientist: Their skin’s drenched in neurotoxin. And their blood is a corrosive acid. Oh, and if you touch them, your eyes SHOOT out of your head!

Tendi: I just wanted to say it doesn’t matter if we start hanging out with Steve Levy or Delta Shift or having a baby, we’ll always be friends. I love you guys.
Moss: I’ve eaten many outsiders in this cave, but I have never made a friend. Can we be friends?

Tendi: I think this was actually one of the best days of my life.
Mariner: Uh, you mean with the zombie outbreak, then getting stuck in here and peeing in the corner?
Tendi: Well, I didn’t love peeing in the corner.

T’Ana: You’d make a not completely terrible father.
Rutherford: Wait, are you saying I’m the first engineer you like?
T’Ana: Shut the f*** up.

Boimler: You chanted with them?
Rutherford: Chanting’s our thing!
Mariner: I can… I can chant with other people.

Star Trek: Lower Decks Quotes

Boimler: Romulan whiskey is against regulations!
Mariner: Yeah, because it's awesome.

First contact is a delicate, high-stakes operation of diplomacy. One must be ready for anything humanity is interacting with an alien race for the first time. But we don't do that. Our specialty is SECOND contact. Still pretty important. We get all the paperwork signed, make sure we're spelling the name of the planet right, get to know all the good places to eat...
