A TUC Question

At least we know he would've cared enough to actually watch the damn show, first.

I'm relatively positive on Nemesis, but even I'll agree that Baird knowing jack squat about Star Trek did not help overmuch.

Baird is an idiot....he thought Geordi was an alien

Baird should have been more up to speed on the franchise seeing how much exposure he's had to the fantasy/sc-fi community over the decades. As early as 1978 he worked on the first SUPERMAN movie and got a production credit at the start of the film.

Routine "attention all hands" announcements are common on present-day navy ships, and if Starfleet followed that practice, the court reporter announcement wouldn't have seemed out of place.

It's not the call in itself that I find out of place. It's ok that they are calling the court reporter over the intercom, but why would they tell him who he had to take the statements from over the intercom, for everyone else to hear? I don't think that's common practice!

Sure it was a trap, but how was she to know if they were talking or not?

See above! I don't think it's common practice to name the suspects over the intercom. And what's more important: She had already killed these guys!

That's the thing, they could have been found and given quick medical care for all Valeris knew, Bones did say it was a phaser on stun not kill.

Spock was already suspicious of her as was Kirk when his log was used against him, she was screwed no matter what.

And she probably knew it, too. Killing Burke and Samno in such a manner that Kirk would be the first one to stumble onto them might have been a desperate last-ditch attempt to frame the Captain for having played a greater role in the conspiracy than that of a mere bystander and co-victim. Hiding their engineering suits into the restricted-access facilities of the top officers might have been an earlier, subtler attempt to directly implicate Kirk.

Valeris may have been running on fumes at that point, really. The plan would never have entailed or tolerated Kirk being rescued by his ship, and the other conspirators probably saw no further utility in Valeris and left her with no further orders or resources after Gorkon was dead. Which was to their own downfall, as a better-provisioned Valeris could have stopped the rescue attempt, or later on stopped the rescued Kirk from interfering at Khitomer.
