Bodily functions

[Deckerd]

A conversation about Odo in human form got me to thinking about something else. Seven only starts eating some time after she is more or less transformed back to being a human, so I'm guessing this means she only starts eliminating waste at that point. What a treat for her.

 

[BlobVanDam]

Damn, and until now I've been clinging onto the belief that she was too hot to take a dump. There goes that old theory.

 

[Deckerd]

I'm half hoping Guy Gardener sees this thread, half not.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Why, I'm all blushing and stuff.

This smells familiar.

Major point is the still-suits from Dune.

Free Borg probably plug into something to release what they have stored, maybe compressed inside like a sort of unibladder. Not that there are not uses for sweat, pee and pooh... It's much safer, even "safe" in rare occasions to consume other peoples waste (rather than ones own) that Borg might continually be trading pooh and wee between themselves as they brush past each other like Bees cross pollinating with flowers which would be decentralized recycling and more in flavour with Borg habits we have come to expect.

So Seven either stinks REAL bad because that suit that Doctor made for her is really a diaper, or she's saturated in enough perfume until one can smell her from around corners in a better way like someone who has something vile to hide like chain mint popping to obscure halitosis.

I knew I'd be reading it from behind my fingers.

One of my favourite lines ever was from Not Another Teen Movie when Jimmy Olsen has his huge romantic moment where he says that he will take a dump on the blond cheer leaders chest...

It's more ardent in context.

 

[Deckerd]

It wasn't so much a question of tight suits. After all, many superheroes must have had the same problem (as hilariously depicted by the late, great Kenny Everett). Just that the writers didn't think through the whole process of her starting to eat again. Of course nobody went to the toilet in Starfleet so I suppose she must have had those same modifications.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Well it was sort of implied when on-screen how they were talking about over time she would be working her way toward solid food when her body finally adjusted to the status quo even if it seemed they were more interested in how she swallowed and metabolize rather than pooping.

I'm curious if the borg had small methane powered servos here and there that some of their more mechanical aspects were entirely self-sufficient.

Not even Tom Good would go that far?

 

[Deckerd]

Brings a whole new meaning to steampunk.

 

[Guy Gardener]

That would have been a fabulous prime directive episode.

Finding a world with somewhat Victorian technology and Janeways away teams have to hide their tech in plain sight.

 

[F. King Daniel]

I always thought any thread starring Deckerd and Guy would damage my brain.

I was right.


Maybe Trekkers save themselves the trouble and just beam it out of their colons. They have the technology!

An external booth replacing the conventional water closet, or a cybernetic implant personal substitute bowel?

External is just a matter of choice.

Internal however would bring up all that Eugenics hoo-har about man vs. superman, not to mention if every human being was carrying a significant and standardized powersource inside them, the baddies might think to use it as a marker to target their weapons with...

And how long is this power source supposed to last?

A dilithium reactor an inch away from your reproductive plumbing can't be good for the species or planned parenting.

If the powersource for the transporter is supposed to last a hundred years, then our bunghole is going to compensate, so that after two decades, if the transporter breaks down, people are going to die.

The same problem mostly for a shorter term battery that needs to be replaced every month. You see how well women do with the pill. Replace your battery or die. Gods forbid any one monopolized the supply of batteries that they couldn't leverage the Federation for anything they felt like.

Then of course you got kids playing with this hardware to create birth control and abortions, and then they fuck up and transport a lung outside their body when they miss the three month old foetus they were aiming at, they don't want to tell their parents about.

The Drone "One" had internal transporters.

If you can transport waste, the tech to transport yourself can't be altogether too different

Which brings us to the Prime Directive Issue.

Any Bullshit little aliens running around still burning plutonium to make their starships run, is going to think it's Christmas that the secret to transporter technology is in not only inside every human being, but the also inside the weakest and stupidest human beings too, that numerous Federation Citizens are going to be waking up in bathtubs full of ice with their lower intestines removed.

So these devices would have to come with self destruct switches to ward against espionage, which would equate to kill-switches since these humans suddenly can't shit.

So again, you've got bad guys tapping the killswitches or transporting one persons organs inside another persons skull to begin an invasion with gusto exploiting human stupidity to do such a woeful and lazy thing to themselves.

The two things you (almost) never see on TV shows: people and toilets and people watching TV.

 

[froot]

I knew better than to read this thread...

My theory:

Seven runs on cold fusion and is 100% efficient. She does not produce poop.

 

[pimp]

lol seriously why would you be thinking about how a certain char on the shows defecates, I'm sure there are other things to talk about Seven wink wink nudge nudge

 

[Deckerd]

Are you serious? What better thing to talk about? Besides, everything else has been talked to death. Except perhaps why there was so little sex on Voyager. One conception in 7 years? That's so wrong.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Everyone knows the Doctor is a perve.

When Janeway gave him that Drone to surgically rectify back into a human being, odds are that the Borg removed or clotted her reproductive system, zipping up or out and out removing her vagina because it is completely redundant and surplus to requirements of the Borg Agenda.

By 'zipped" I probably mean threaded with a weave of cables and wires. Diodes and transistors. Considering all the meat and tubing they could throw out, that could have stuffed her some instrumentation the size of a breadbox.

Her Junk would have been a mess.

Unsalvageable.

(Picard needed a new penis too.)

The Doctor would have had to have taken a carving knife and soldering iron to her crotch until after hours of digging, sculpting and fishing out hardware with a magnet and tweasers till her delicate flower finally looked like a sexual organ again.

Point being, is that it was more "The Doctors" dream poon and not ultimately a representation of Seven's womanliness. It's the same paradigm as moving into a new house that's been decorated by some one with "unique" tastes.

Sex with Seven is not sex with Seven, it's sex with the Doctor.

And who the hell wants to have sex with the Doctor?

 

[Deckerd]

There was certainly something odd about him putting her in that outfit. Everyone else got loose fitting clothes. You'd think with all those stitches she'd need baggy pants at least.

Why did everyone else behave like religious recluses, though?

Sex with Seven is not sex with Seven, it's sex with the Doctor.

And who the hell wants to have sex with the Doctor?

A: The guy from "Body and Soul" who kissed the Doc while he was in Seven's body.

And it's canon that the Doctor became sexually aroused while in that body, so I think you're on to something.

I think the Doctor is the one of the few Trek characters whose sexual activity is canon. Sure, Kirk kissed a lot of girls, but we don't know for sure that he had sex with them. The Doctor admitted to having been sexually active in that episode with the Mark III and, in "Body and Soul," became aroused. He's definitely sex-mad when compare to the others.

 

[Deckerd]

Didn't he 'settle down' with someone on that planet for a few years? In Blink of an Eye. Basically the Doctor got more than the rest of the crew put together.
