So, a lert is readable, and yell'able. &, I don't think lerts get blown in Star Trek. At least I don't recall a "blew a lert". We'll figure out wtf is a lert yet.
A lert is similar to an alot
*oatmeal reference
Edit: whoops 😅
Pretty sure the alot was Hyperbole and a Half wasn't it? The Oatmeal is pretty good too.

You’re right!
I didn't say "captain says"
Really doesn't need the explanatory last line.

Eh not as chaotic. I like the OG
I take it as Picard saying that while theyre all yelling
I needed it 🤷
It’s funnier when you figure it out for yourself. Then you can comment “Took me longer that I’d like to admit,” or some other shit like that.
Captain: Red Alert!
Riker: Oh was it a good book, Captain?
Riker: Ah, fine game from late 20th century. What does it have to do with the situation?
Related to Alot, I believe.

You beat me to it, a lot.

OW ALERT!
When it gets to the OOF ALERT you know the ships in trouble
...whatever picard's been reading, obviously...
