Keeping the main thread clean:
With reference to
this post:to infest: to spread or swarm in or over in a troublesome manner, Merriam-Webster. Given what Trek has shown us about tribbles, and the location of the scene (the restaurant district with plenty of food for them), it isn't overly hyperbolic to call even a handful of them escaping the scene an "infestation," imo.
Re: the Lisa Flanders bit, take into account that Bart was actively being followed by internal sensors.

He's in a toilet stall by himself with no mention of a prolonged sensor blackout from either Mike or anybody else in subsequent posts on the topic. Bart Pimpson suddenly becomes Lisa Flanders, and nobody notices when reviewing the sensor logs (which Ra'zii was doing before filing the report)?
For a modern analogy, it's like a high speed car chase. Bart ditched his current car that the ground police are following, but forgot about the helicopter with the thermal camera high above.
I would argue that Bart's plan
could have worked, if he wasn't already tagged or simply masked him instead of swapping out sensor readouts. But it also completely fits the character: the hubris of a 13 yr old who has thus far been untouchable.
Re: the 2nd paragraph. I'm not entirely sure which part of my post you're referencing. If you could point out the sticking point, we can sort this out.
I don't believe I made mention of the sensors ever being off, nor did I make mention of who authorised the lockouts (fwiw, it wasn't security, it was ops, but my character wouldn't have known that. He would have known that Sam said she was keeping him in check).
Everything else is supposition based on Ra'zii and Sam's interactions and what he knows about the limits of her abilities (i.e. not much at all).
Are you conflating my character's thoughts on Sam and her abilities with the report (which from his point of view is factually accurate)?
