I'll go first. Mine is the instant knockout drug. Like Dexter's intramuscular injection that causes someone to immediately lose consciousness. Or in the movie Split where there's the aerosol spray in your face that makes you instantly unconscious. Or pretty much any time someone uses chloroform.

Hate to be that guy, but the federation exists in a post-money society. No one gets paid, they do what they do for prestige, pride, adventure, and the good of humanity. Maybe the management believe they can inspire their minions to do better, or maybe the SME's are so used to that shit that they under promise and over deliver.

SME: "oh no, our defences are down" Captain: "How long do you need to fix them?" SME: (hmm, captain will cut the time in half, it takes about 15 minutes...fuck it...) "Two hours" Captain: "You have one" SME: (Like candy from a baby)
