10 Most Messed Up Deaths In Star Trek: Picard
4. The Way To Chaos… Goblin
Quantum tunnelling technology was really just an excuse to play a very large game of Portal. Stolen in the experimental stage from Daystrom Station, it did have disastrous applications. The statue of the Red Lady down in District Seven would soon be no more, as would 117 others. I do hate that for us.
The Red Lady (of the Enterprise-C) was a red herring, a rogue changeling distraction for something even more grandiose. Along with the 'portal weapon,' the shapeshifter splinter faction had also nabbed frosty Picard for a bit of Borgification. All that mattered zilch if you were only in the building to sign up. A promising future in Starfleet began and ended by being scooped up out of the ground, then dumped out of the sky. Vadic was just keeping it lively!
Out of the 117, we can only imagine that some were still alive on the way back down. The gravity-defying horror of it all! Chaos and many manners of death would follow when Generation Next of the Collective was activated. In the end, however, isn't chaos just the friend-with-benefits we haven't met yet?
