La’an bluffs a Broken Circle weapons buyer with an ”antimatter detonation switch,” something she tells Uhura she made up on the spot. In “Surrender” Jack Crusher pulled a similar trick on Vadic, implying a personal forcefield was actually an unknown weapon.

It made me think of Kirk’s bluff in “The Corbomite Maneuver”.

It wasn’t necessarily a warp command, but I’d say that “Steady as she goes” was Kirk’s thing.
