Like why MUST every person have a tragic backstory? It's like the show's writers grew up only watching shows like "Party of Five" where everything must be depressing and tragic. M'Benga has his terminally sick daughter trapped in the transporter buffer? Really? And just because he said so, they just ignored updating the medical transporter before leaving the dry dock?
