'Star Trek: Lower Decks' Season 5 episode 3: Why are nanites causing havoc in a luxury space hotel?

A green cartoon lady in a blue and black uniform looks at a brown cartoon man in a yellow and black uniform, looking at her. He holds a grey handheld folding device next to a tall lamp tilted to the right. The lamp has fuzzy glittery glammers on its pole and shade.

There are echoes of "Apocalypse Now" in the third episode of "Lower Decks" season 5, as Lt Bradward Boimler is recruited to track down a flag officer who's gone AWOL in a luxury space hotel — the admiral's name, Milius, is presumably a nod to John Milius, screenwriter of Francis Ford Coppola's Vietnam classic.

But the more clear and present danger in "The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel" is the swarm of nanites infesting the resort, prompting the management to call in the Cerritos crew for a spot of outer space pest control.
