He certainly treated it very special, what with documenting all his excretions and all...

Captain's Log, stardate 5147.8...

But we've seen Kirk finishing up his logs in the Captain's chair. Unless... oh my God.

So, everytime he sits in the chair, he could be performing excretory functions. Maybe not everytime, but when he's making a starlog entry. How is this possible?

Well, we know, per The Ambergris Element, that the uniforms are composed primarily of xenylon algae. This algae could have odor-eating properties, to make working alongside a defecating officer more plausible. Perhaps the chair and uniform pants communicate with each other on contact to create a necessary opening to remove waste material. Which is then placed within the chair, or recycled via tubing to a spot elsewhere on the ship for reclamation. Body sounds could be masked by the ambient noise of the bridge, with better techniques (and less noise) employed in the 24th century.

This would apply to not just the Captain's chair, but to all chairs at all stations on the ship. We know from blueprints and such that ships actually do have bathrooms, but this could be for those without easy access to a chaired station and consist mainly of a row of chairs. Main characters never use them, instead relieving themselves during the more tense scenes of the show.

Now, I know what you're thinking: But women don't wear pants (in TOS)? That makes no difference, as their skirts and pantyhose would be composed of the same xenylon material as all uniforms.

Now, I know what you're further thinking: This covers defecation, but what of urination? Ahh, there's the key. Short of all officers (and enlisted crew too, I'm using this as a catchall) undergoing catheterization, I think the xenylon might collect all excretions (urine, maybe sweat and even dirt that's picked up) in routine self-cleaning and deposits this at the earliest opportunity.
