      100%. Even if Scotty called them warp cores (I don’t recall) he was probably just kidding. Or drunk on green stuff.

        The line is,

        Okay. If we eject the core and detonate, the blast could be enough to push us away! I cannae promise anything, though!

        It’s interesting that the dialogue is the singular “core,” while the VFX shows multiple ejections.

        I’m sticking with antimatter pods.
