well, they get dirty enough to warrant a baryon sweep every now and then...Bryan Moore wrote:Would it really be needed? How dirty could things get on a starship?celeritas wrote:speaking of quarters, who vacuums all the carpet around that place? i don't see any 24th century roombas...
and speaking of dead skin cells, who does the laundry? do they have their own dry cleaning service or do they just replicate a new set of clothes every day?Teaos wrote:Dust is mostly dead skin cells and such. So unless they have a way of stopping that in the future I dont see how they could not get dust.
hm, perhaps that would be the reason why there are a lack of lavatories aboard their spacecraft...Teaos wrote:Maybe they don't do laundry and just really smell and are just used to the smell. Like people who live near a dump.
The Enterprise-D blueprints show a small bathroom just off the bridge. There's a door next to the one that leads to the Observation lounge. There is also canonical mention of lavatories in an episode of Voyager, when a load of ship systems go down and I think neelix says there's only 2 working lavatoris on this deck, or something.celeritas wrote:hm, perhaps that would be the reason why there are a lack of lavatories aboard their spacecraft...Teaos wrote:Maybe they don't do laundry and just really smell and are just used to the smell.

I think I recall seeing on either the 25th aniversary documentary or the hour special that aired a week before TNG's finale that showed on the computer map of engineering a bathroom near the warp core (along with a 20 foot mouse that lived in the shuttle bay, and other goofy things)Crushproof wrote:The Enterprise-D blueprints show a small bathroom just off the bridge.

yeah i recall that too -- the one in the engineering map is the only lavatory depicted on the whole ship, i believe...Bryan Moore wrote:I think I recall seeing on either the 25th aniversary documentary or the hour special that aired a week before TNG's finale that showed on the computer map of engineering a bathroom near the warp core (along with a 20 foot mouse that lived in the shuttle bay, and other goofy things)Crushproof wrote:The Enterprise-D blueprints show a small bathroom just off the bridge.

In a mildly intoxicated coversation with my Trekkie roomate a few years back, I distinctly remember joking how wonderful it would be to urinate into a live transporter feed and beam it above Wesley's headTeaos wrote:I suppose they could just go in a bucket and beam it out side. Very high tech.
