Bodily functions

[Guy Gardener]

Raised a kid too.

Picardo didn't know who the doctor had had sex with when he first read the script for Message in a Bottle.

Was Ranek attracted to HER meat alone, or HIS (IT'S) attitude, foibles, intellect, confidence and "soul". The lad didn't know that he was a homosexual, and the doctor was unphased marching off into sex with the wrong sex organs to tap his sister.

Sevens personality is dull. It detracts from her general good looks. Her body is probably an 8, Anika's personality is minus 2, annd the doctors personality freejacking her is what? Plus one or plus two? Or can women get rated as an 11 out 10 as if this is spinal tap?

Alicia Coppila Alert!

Alica is playng a Queen in The Nine lives of Chloe King.

Not sure if she's Giles or Scorpius?

Tom and B'Elanna apparently had wild enough sex that everyone on their deck knew about it, so, no, Doc isn't the only character with explicitly mentioned canon sexual romps (plus how did they make the baby? Magic?) And then there was that little... thing with Neelix and the Klingon lady (ack.) Chakotay pretty obviously got with Riley. Poor Harry caught a space STD from that one lady with the nice hair.

Folks were probably just using birth control. I know I would.

You obviously missed my 'one conception in 7 years post' froot.

Thing is, they were under no illusions that it was going to be a generation till home. Humans under those circs would not behave like monks/nuns. Many more would have paired up and many more would have had children. There's no reason why their professionalism would have been compromised by this. Let's face it, if they could evacuate large numbers of people, Voyager could have coped with a few dozen ankle biters on board.

 

[froot]

Whups. Sorry. Thought you meant the Wildman baby! But I guess that was technically pre-Voyager.

EDIT: They even allude to possibly being a multi-generational ship a few times. I agree that they could have probably handled it, but, I dunno. Professionalism aside, raising kids there doesn't seem all that safe, what with all the people-eating nebulae and cranky aliens.

Although I suppose the Enterprise got away with it.

 

[Deckerd]

Hope springs eternal. Especially in extremis. I feel an opportunity was lost. They didn't even need to have more than the odd reference to the Doc's traditionally earned obstetrics expertise.

 

[pimp]

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.

Fair play

Seven started taking in nutrients when her fleshy side of her system started to reassert itself (the Gift). Her reproductive organs didn't reject the doctor's treatments. What went through periods of rejection was her neural system. She died if Kes didn't intervene and look at her. After acouple days of transition on a bed in sickbay her fabulous cerebrum finally established itself and she took her place with officers and ship.

 

[Guy Gardener]

There were four kids conceived and born on (or near)Voyager in the Delta Quadrant.

Three lizards and a 29th Century Drone.

Naomi was conceived in the Alpha Quadrant and Miral was born in the Alpha Quadrant, so they really don't count.

5 if you include Seska's baby.

Wasn't it nice of the Doctor to maintain the crews birth control regime (monthly shots) during the Killing game that with all those false personalities that crew was on top of crew they shouldn't have had reason to be on top of, firing live rounds at open goals considering the reservations of a klingon rapegang or the medical technology of the 1940s and any number of any other playgrounds the Hirogen created to play in for the month preceding their fall from grace.

 

[froot]

^ The amount of fanfics written on the subject of "Oops, guess we concieved a baby" under the mind control in "Killing Game" are too numerous to count. Like the grains of sand on a beach.

Miral was born in the AQ, but she was conceived out in the Delta Quadrant. Still pretty upset they didn't take the lizard kids along for the ride.

 

[Mr Silver]

I'm more concerned about how far the Doctor's "human experience" additions to his program goes. Does his modifications include the ability to take holographic dumps?

As for why there wasn't loads of sex during their stay in the DQ, it was probably down to the convenience of having a holodeck.

 

[Guy Gardener]

I've speculated that Naomi might have been Caretakers child.

Although Seven is "kind of" converted back to being more human than Borg, she still has a lot of Borg systems inside her. The most unsettling thing for me is seeing those tubules jet out of her wrists and plug into stuff. I mean... wouldn't that mean she could at will turn any of the crew into a Borg if she wanted? Not exactly an ability you'd want Seven to have if she ever went bonkers and tried to take control of the ship.

Anyway... with her body still being inhabited by nanoprobes, nannites, or what have you, and that she still needs to "regenerate" in an alcove, her body is still dependent upon Borg technology. Thus, it's easy to assume that there are "waste collection" nanoprobes always at work in her body. She probably didn't have a bowel movement the whole time she was with the collective, so I'll bet it wasn't a good idea reviving that part of human biology. Plus... it doesn't look like there was any easy way of peeling off that catsuit--a real bugger if she needs to relieve herself quickly.

 

[Guy Gardener]

When those ferengi tried to steal her nanoprobes, I don't recall then calculating the profit they could generate by making bol movements extinct?

Is this something nanoprobes "just do" or do they have to be specifically tasked toward any one duty because they were flooding Neelix with those little buggers something chronic for a while there?

 

[Deckerd]

That doesn't explain what the nanoprobes would do with the waste. They can't just 'magic' it away and they don't leave the body. It's called waste for a reason; there isn't much left of use to the human body, which is extremely efficient at getting nutrients out of whatever comes down the pipe.

I suspect they "collect" it in some fashion. Then during her stay in the alcove, the waste is extracted and repurposed. Same principle that is used with other sci-fi travel concepts. Aboard the International Space Station, they reprocess urine collected from everyone aboard and convert it to drinkable water. In space, water is more precious than gold.

Or... the nanoprobes might convert waste to something completely inert, like H2O and CO2. Ever notice sometimes that thin trail of moisture on the floor as Seven struts on by?

If shit is close to %90 water (depending on your diet) that means hydrogen and oxygen to begin with, but if they have miniature super colliders coiled around their "still-suit" that means that they can turn shit into deuterium.

Of course that still leaves 10 percent waste from their waste.

Boob reinforcements.

Hey! I'm sitting on one of them!
