I had this game when I was younger https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation_–_A_Final_Unity a something just reminded me one of the puzzles involved removing a stuck alien data rod with a paperclip.

@geekylou Did... they have to specifically replicate a paperclip? Why would they have a paperclip lying about. Isn't it all on PADDs for them?

@benhamill it was a paperclip that you had to unbend i think. No idea why aliens would independently invent paperclips
