I don't know why that line bugs me so much, but it always has. I get that she's basically excusing herself (+1 for politeness), but red alert already implies all officers should report to their duty stations immediately. It should have been a given.

The boring answer is that just like "shields up", it's there to help the audience. Maybe they did a take where she just hurries away and it looked weird so they added that line.
Or maybe she just really needed to go for a Commander Data, if you catch my drift.
Maybe she was just sundowning. She is super old after all.
Or she just really wanted us to know she wasn't heading to the bar. lol
I'll be at my duty station.... just if you were wondering where I'll be, that's where...I won't be anywhere else or anything.
Proof Crusher > Pulaski. Crusher was always exactly where she needed to be.
You let my pretend girlfriend Diana Muldaur say whatever she wants.
Plus, you're making fun of a blind lady, you monster.
Pulaski's "duty station":
"Red alert" also implies that the shield should be raised too, doesn't it?
Yep. Dunno why I can let that one go but not the duty station line. lol
TNG Technical Manual Page 171
Deflector systems are automatically brought to tactical configuration unless specifically overridden by the Tactical Officer. All available secondary and backup deflector generators are brought to hot standby.
I just thought she had to go use the 3 seashells.

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.
