Anson Mount’s Capt. Pike tasks Christina Chong’s La’an to run the nascent program through the wringer to see how it holds up. La’an, who loves a 1960s murder mystery series featuring an investigator named Amelia Moon, has Martin Quinn’s Scotty upload those stories into the holodeck’s programming, which then creates a new mystery for her to solve.

When La'an tests the prototype of the holodeck, everyone plays different characters in a simulation based on a detective series — and in a 'Star Trek' knockoff.

In Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Rebecca Romijn and Christina Chong play best friends. Lt. Commander Una Chin-Riley is the perfect First Officer, and La'an is the Enterprise's no-nonsense Chief of Security. However, Una and La'an undergo some changes in Strange New Worlds season 3 's genre-bending episodes.
