Poll question: You are trapped on a Demon class planet out of communicator range
You are trapped on a Demon class planet out of communicator range with a Ferengi. You each have environmental suits with 24 hours of life support, but you know the last communication with Starfleet put both of your ships at least 48 hours away at maximum warp. You:

1. Why can't I just make some extremely minor alterations to my tricorder

7. That's where I put the Ferengi
Wouldn't want to be cooped up with that fellow any more than I have too. And I can't just kill him and hide the body, since I don't know which ship will arrive first...

2. I grew up and live in South Louisiana. Demon-class was today.
87 F and 95% humidity. I say, "C'mon Ferengi-face, we gon' find us some crawdads and boil 'em up. By the way, Ferengi-face, I like my ears rubbed, jus' like y'all do. But first we find us some mudbugs."

Demon-class, ha! With or without skeeters?

9. Also very good
Nothing makes sense, because time is excellerated when in warp 10. But hey? What's to say they can't get an unexpected visit from a 30th century time traveller, or even an enlighted Wesley Crusher living up to his abilities? Wes then gives takes them wherever they need to go, by using the same forcefield you proposed.
Wait, that's actually not that bad...
