Tears apart the unit and discovers six Captains com badges in the hose
Yes we’re looking at you @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website
The Picard Maneuver ( @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website ) English9•6 months agoMy ready room has a supply closet full of extra badges, because I won’t use the ones that have touched the floor.

The Picard Maneuver ( @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website ) English8•6 months agoIn this context, Picard looks so pleased like he planned it.

Jimmycrackcrack ( @Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml ) English15•6 months agoI would be super dissapointed to learn that they figured out FTL travel and the ability to simply materialise food and all the other amazing technological feats but still hadn’t automated cleaning yet. I godamn hate cleaning.
Gormadt ( @Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English12•6 months agoAt least they’re not in charge of cleaning out the holodeck, that place has to be pretty rough
zqwzzle ( @zqwzzle@lemmy.ca ) English4•6 months agoEspecially after Dr. T’Ana and Shax gets through with it.
circuitfarmer ( @circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org ) English9•6 months agoAnd his needs are met. He’s got a place to live. He’s got replicators.
I’d vacuum every damned deck if it gave me a place on a starship where all my needs were met.
DuffmanOfTheCosmos ( @DuffmanOfTheCosmos@beehaw.org ) English3•6 months ago100%. I have a nice cushy work from home desk job right now but I’ve also worked service jobs and manual labor jobs and I would absolutely jump at the chance for a job as janitorial staff on a starship exploring the galaxy for nothing more than accommodations and the amenities of replicators and holodecks aboard said starship exploring the galaxy. Space shitter clogged? I’m all over it for a chance to just be out there with my needs met.

Blaine ( @blaine@lemmy.ml ) English5•6 months agoThanks for reminding me of yet another reason why Star Trek: Discovery is not canon.
Olgratin_Magmatoe ( @Olgratin_Magmatoe@startrek.website ) English2•6 months agoGiven that they have the ability to select pretty much whatever material they want with the transporters, I imagine it wouldn’t be too hard for them to do a once a day transport for all dust/debris particles directly into space, or some containment unit of their choosing. Same goes for pretty much any other cleaning task.
MarmaladeMermaid ( @MarmaladeMermaid@lemm.ee ) English4•6 months agoIt is mentioned in that one episode where they have a small village of “back to the land” type people staying in the cargo bay, along with their farm animals that they don’t have to keep sweeping up all the time, the bays will clean themselves. They just have to stop lighting cooking fires.
Olgratin_Magmatoe ( @Olgratin_Magmatoe@startrek.website ) English3•6 months agoThat actually makes me think, would it theoretically be possible to automate ship repair with transporter technology? All the time they have ships coming in with giant chunks missing.
If you are able to get a high resolution scan of the current state of the vessel, and have the plans to build it, couldn’t they set up a specialized transporter to transport the damaged bits away, and transition area that is destroyed, and then replace it with new parts as needed?
Basically do some a similar repair method from Space Engineers, just fancier with transporters.
talos ( @talos@startrek.website ) English2•6 months agoThis reminds me of the old web series Space Janitors.
I had never heard of this show before but it looks hilarious. https://youtu.be/VPhq2sudOi8?si=PXCNxk96-rMSAKnZ
