Star Trek TNG characters and whether they'd rat me out for farting on the bridge

(for the sake of argument let's assume it was a dank, zeppelin-sized fart I absolutely had to let out before it Hindenburg’d my intestinal tract, and not just me being rude for no reason)

  • Beverly: doesn't rat me out. Probably messages me privately later to politely suggest I stop by sick bay
  • Wesley: doesn't rat me out on purpose, but whispers to me way too loudly and still gets me caught
  • Geordi: rats me out accidentally after seeing an “unusual gaseous emission” on his VISOR and announcing it to the crew, but feels bad about it
  • Worf: rats me out without hesitation (and tells me my flatulence was “dishonourable”)
  • Pulaski: rats me out to everyone and offers to prescribe me an anti-gas med
  • Riker: rats me out to the captain but only if it's funny
  • Deanna: doesn't rat me out but subtly indicates to me she knows I did it, and 100% gossips with Will about it later
  • Data: doesn't rat me out but if someone else does he gives everyone an impromptu treatise on flatulence. Tries to teach himself how to fart later that week
  • Picard: does not rat me out but calls me into his ready room to give me a stern speech about “Starfleet decorum”
  • Ro: doesn't rat me out but tracks me down in Ten Forward after to ask if that was me
  • Barclay: too awkward to rat me out and accidentally creates a distraction for me by going into a coughing fit when he smells it
  • Yar: if Picard asks about it she'll rat me out; otherwise she won't, but she does turn to me and say “Seriously?”
  • Lwaxana: loudly announces to everyone within earshot that I farted and I was hoping no one would notice, but it's okay because it wasn't my fault for PASSING GAS IN FRONT OF A DAUGHTER OF THE FIFTH HOUSE OF BETAZED, THE HOLDER OF THE SACRED CHALICE OF RIXX AND HEIR TO THE
  • Q: says “ooh, how gauche!” and then either makes it so the entire ship can smell my fart OR makes my farts smell like wedding cake, depending on his mood

[ID: Ten gifs from Star Trek Deep Space Nine featuring Benjamin Sisko as Benny Russell, a science fiction writer in the 1950s. He is clearly agitated as he speaks.

He says, "I am a human being, damn it. You can deny me all you want but you cannot deny Ben Sisko. He exists! That future, that space station, all those people, they exist in here. In my mind, I created it.

And every one of you know it. You read it. It's here. You hear what I'm telling you? You can pulp a story, but you cannot destroy an idea.

Don't you understand? That's ancient knowledge. You cannot destroy an idea. That future, I created it, and it's real! Don't you understand? It is real! I created it, and it's real! It's real!"
