I don't think it's clear what he means, tbh. I don't see how it could mean anything other than a permanent military presence there, which...isn't currently on the table?

I'm a little surprised this didn't get any traction - I think it would be a fine candidate for a c/startrek post, if it were to expand a little bit on the DS9 episode and its specific parallels to current events.

It's a completely different promise, but the saga of the mayor of Kamloops is kind of enlightening.

Didn’t he seem visibly shaken when asked about the Protostar crew, like he knew something SAM didn’t?

I didn't think that at the time, but on rewatch...maybe? At least some of the Prodigy kids are on the memorial wall, but that doesn't really mean much in context. I'm not sure how the production timelines of the two series aligned when this pilot would have been filming, but they may even have been attempting to do a little synergy.

I would say "yes" to "odd" (or at least unusual), and "no" to "out of place".

I guess if "Federation Standard" is just American English, the common sign language might as well be ASL...
