If this were the ''Cerritos'', the plan might have worked. However, this is the ''Enterprise'' and with such a ProperlyParanoid Communications Officer like Uhura at the console, La'an is alerted and the two are apprehended before they can even leave.

* DeconstructionCrossover: When ''Star Trek'' does {{Crossover}} episodes between series, things go pretty smooth between the crews because they more-or-less operate the same. This time, when two Ensigns--one a ProfessionalButtKisser and the other a MilitaryMaverick--from the dysfunctional but well-revered ''Cerritos'' wind up on the ''Enterprise'' run by the more straight-laced yet laid back professionals under Captain Pike, it doesn't gel quite as right. Boimler and Mariner are a bit disappointed that Pike and company aren't quite the people that history revers them as in the 24th century, while the ''Enterprise'' crew has some difficulties dealing with the two time traveler's antics that they would normally be able to (mostly) get away with in their time.

* AllForNothing: PlayedForLaughs. Uhura spends all day trying to translate the language on the time machine, and thanks to Ortegas, learns its Naussican. Turns out that translation was just telling people it was a time machine.



* BotheringByTheBook: Uhura is surprised that someone like Mariner is well-versed in Starfleet regulations. Mariner notes that of course she is; there's all sorts of regulations that basically allow you to be lazy.
* BrokenPedestal: Meeting the real people behind the legendary crew of the ''Enterprise'' means Boimler and Mariner have to correct some of their preconceptions.

lazy. She then threatens to report Uhura for not taking a meal break as required, but Uhura sneaks her work along with her anyway.
* BrokenPedestal: Meeting the real people behind the legendary crew of the ''Enterprise'' means Boimler and Mariner have to correct some of their preconceptions. Boimler is shocked to find Spock is more human than the history books record (to the point that Spock ''smiling'' creeps him out), while Mariner is a bit bummed to see that Uhura is so caught up in work that she won't find the time to relax.
* CallBack: Pike tells Boimler and Mariner that he had difficulties with his father growing up, which he previously mentioned to Michael Burnham on ''Discovery''.
* CallForward: When Boimler ends up on the bridge of the ''Enterprise'', he includes a dash after the destination before remembering that it's the original registration, as there's been five other ships to bear the name by his time. The rest of the crew is confused what comes after the dash.



* ClosetGeek: Mariner is more of a fan of old starships than she lets on, as she recalls the exact lecture at the Fleet Museum about how old starships with legacy status always carry a piece of their predecessors during construction. According to Boimler, despite Mariner denying it, she was the first to the door entering the museum.



** The ''Enterprise NX-01'' is mentioned a few times as being at the Fleet Museum, where ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' showed her resting comfortably by 2402.

* {{Fanboy}}: Boimler is one of Captain Pike, and Mariner is one of Uhura. Mariner mentions that Boimler dressed up as Pike for Halloween (apparently the jawline was the hardest to get down).
* {{Fauxshadowing}}: The ''NX-01'' is mentioned early on as having the same material as the time machine on the planet. Boimler has a EurekaMoment where he remembers that remark he made. Does that mean that the ''Enterprise'' is going to go the Fleet Museum to borrow a piece of her predecessor to get Boimler and Mariner home? Nope! There's actually a piece of the ''NX-01'' on the ''NCC-1701''! Besides, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Starfleet would never let anyone damage a piece of history, let alone their very first starship.]]



* NotSoDifferentRemark: After recovering a piece of horonium from [[Series/StarTrekEnterprise the NX-01]] ''Enterprise'', Ortegas and Uhura start gushing over Travis Mayweather and Hoshi Sato respectively, realizing that they sound like Mariner and Boimler. Spock calls them exhausting.

But while Sisko and company got to geek out being the presence of the legendary James T. Kirk and helping the ''Enterprise'' and her crew keep history on track from behind the scenes, Boimler and Mariner's antics from the ''Cerritos'' gives the ''Enterprise'' crew a headache and a half as they try to get them back home.
