StarBase-1
Where the Admiral is playing darts while the Captain watches:
"So your orders are as follows:" <thunk> "You are to transport..." <thunk> "...Vital medical supplies..." <thunk> "...To our allies on the far side of enemy territory." The Captain squints at the dart board, where the admiral was reading the orders from his dart game, labelled "Order-Generator v1.01".

"It doesn't seem to be a very...accurate method, sir."
"Oh nonsense; the available tasks and zone sizes are dynamically adjusted to match the Captain's track record, the Admiral's dart skill, and the current geo-political situation."

"Sir, is this all you HQ types do around here?"
"Heavens no! Sometimes we play golf. Now be along with you, and send in that pretty secretary of mine to retrieve my darts."

Transporter Room
The captain is standing in front of a replicator, handing out equipment.
"One for you, and one for you--" He looks up at ensign Fodder, a security person in a red shirt.
"Son, that's just not gonna work."
"Sir?"
The Captain turns around, pulls a blue shirt out of the replicator and hands it to ensign Fodder. "Here, put this on."
First Officer says "Well that ought to substantially increase Away Team survivability."
"My thoughts exactly."

Bridge of starship
"Captain there's an enemy ship, shields raised and arming weapons!"
"Drop shields, let's see if they want to talk..."

Famous last words #374

Re:
 

Why drop shields if you're going to talk? You can talk with your phasers and quantum torpedos, can't you?

Re:
 

What?!? Firing your weapons? That's a sackable offence in TNG!

You must talk to aliens at all times, unless you have a Class A (Kirk) or Class B (Sisko) licence. Or special dispensation due to being stuck in the wrong quadrant.

Re:
 

What about being stuck in the wrong reality?

Re:
 

On a case by case basis, but don't count on it. You need at least three independent verifications that its an evil reality before they'll even consider it. This is TNG
