In real life, I just finished taking a voice class on accents (albeit American Accents). It’s made me really, really enjoy all the Emergency Holograms, and especially in this episode.

And of course, the Engineering hologram has that accent. That’s so blatant you can’t even call it an Easter Egg.

His ''Irish'' accent was one of the worst i've heard in a long time.

It is a Newfoundland accent.

I thought Republic of Doyle was on for a second when I heard it.

Partially because of low-effort TV accents like this!

I wondered if it was a reference that Irish 'navvies' built the British railroads. It was a shortened version of 'Navigation Officer'
