If Orlan's character is just a joke then im out. Bridge officers do not get away with acting like that, no starfleet personel would be let anywhere near a starship if they acted like that, and no one like that would make the rank of Commander in Starfleet.

I agree with Teddy. He would not need to refer to a manual. He would know his job inside and out. He would be the Subject Matter Expert on all things to do with communications especially how to operate the machinery. There is no way this would be new to him.
