Things that go BOOOOOOOOOM in the night
The crew of the 
USS Murgatroid waited, crowded into a small volume deep inside the ship, within a thick layer of holographic "matter", held in place by force-field restraints. Waiting for KROM to cause a warp core breach in the nearby
ISS Voyager.
The universe itself also seemed to be waiting for something.
Finally, breaking the nervous silence, Lieutenant Daremo spoke up. "This is stupid!" he announced. "Voyager isn't going to blow up! We're wasting our ti-"
Anything further he had to say was rendered inaudible, as his previous statements were rendered inoperative. With supreme comedic timing, the
ISS Voyager exploded in a warp core breech. The first shock wave from that explosion slammed into the
USS Murgatroid, propelling it halfway across the star system (and, hence, outside the range of the subsequent waves of destruction and/or flying pieces of Voyager).
Once his ears stopped ringing, Doctor
Mib Khan asked Chief Engineer
Ifix, "Did it work?"
Ifix paused for a moment, in thought, and then shrugged. "Still breathing," he answered.
