To be fair, given the prevailing theory that this was a miniature universe unto itself, it made sense that the rules of operation were different from the norm, but it was still perplexing. Scotty didn't like the thought of being in a dimension so unreliable.

"Though the more I look around this place, the more I feel like it's all set up so nobody can get to the bottom of it," he went on.
