What the hell, android? You can't just walk off with Five's hot chocolate!
Bit of a slip-up on the writers' part when they had Five just say into her earpiece "I need help" without specifying where she was or who she wanted to talk to. Unlike TNG-onward Star Trek's clear demonstrations of the combadge's capabilities, Dark Matter hasn't established that the comms devices do anything related to location reporting or automatic routing, nor is it established that the ship's computer (or the android) monitors audio transmissions for signs of distress. But at least they remembered that a space elevator's orbital destination has to be in geosynchronous orbit!
