Black Alert!

[Tuskin38]

I think the black badges will turn out to be very ominous...

I think they'll just turn out to be Starfleet Intelligence. Or some sort of special forces equivalent.
They're just the people assigned to protect the secret stuff.

It would be funny to be aboard the first Federation ship that had blue alert *and* an Andorian officer onboard.

Voyager did have Bolians aboard.

A 'Blue Alert on Discovery with it's TV-MA rating could have a whole new meaning!

In TSFS, the bridge lights on the refit NCC-1701 went blue when Spacedock took control for the approach.

 

[Paradise City]

Black alert.

Mutter..mutter...silly idea..grumble..grumble..

 

[Captain of the USS Averof]

Black light alert at the Discotheque...

They used to do "Black Alert" on the Enterprise-D every time Riker got done using the holodeck. It consisted of all the new ensigns having to comb the holodeck with black lights and mops.

Particularly during the episode "Perfect Mate"

I know, it's in the article I posted up thread. I just meant way back when Andorians first started serving, it might have been awkward.

I like it! I came very close to calling it here:

It's been in use since the TOS era apparently

No it hasn't.

 

[Kemaiku]

No it hasn't.

The Search for Spock isn't the TOS era? alrighty then.

No. TOS = The Original Series. Movies are not part of TOS.

Even if you included Kirk's movies, was "Blue Alert" ever mentioned? I don't remember that.

To me, the "TOS era" (note era, not denoting just one thing) covers The Cage through to the opening sequence of Generations, or 2254 to 2293, or the adventures of the 1701 through launch of 1701-B.

Disagree on the term if you want, but Blue Alert is a thing on the 1701 in 2285 and presumably earlier since everyone onboard already knows what it is.

That's fine but it should actually be called TOS era, not The TOS era. That's like saying "The The Original Series Era."

Condition Green is a thing in a lot of tie-in media and even the odd green underlit background in the live action stuff.

Condition Green doesn't actually mean that. It's a code to indicate that the speaker is under duress, so whoever is on the other end of the line can be alerted that there's a threat.

...At least you can do red, yellow and blue with lamps. You might do black, too, but <you-know-whose-voice>it would involve removing the lamp </you-know-whose-voice>.

I don’t know if it was ever used in the written tie ins, but green was used in some games as the standard operating mode of the ship.

The star fleet command series comes to mind.

I think Bridge Commander may have used it as well

Maybe they'll use white alert in the mirror universe
