Is it that sickbay thingy that covers the patients bodies, like when Sarek was having surgery in Journey To Babel?
Name That Star Trek Object
- Thread starter Methuselah Flint
- Start date
No, it's not that device either.
Clue 1:
We see this used at various times throughout the series, although we aren't sure of its exact function and can only guess at what it does.
Clue 2:
One reason we are confused about its function is because we see it in identical situations throughout the series, sometimes it is used, sometimes it is ignored.
Clue 3:
Another twist added to the clues: While this object is not exactly portable, it is seen at various locations throughout the series.
Clue 4 (This should give it away):
I'll just add on a bit to Clue 3. While this object is not exactly portable, it is seen at various locations throughout the series...or more specifically, throughout the ship.
Clue 5:
To clarify Clue 1, while we sort of know what it does, we have to wonder why sometimes it's used and sometimes it's not. There's one specific episode where it's used in what could be considered an emergency situation.
Clue 6:
This object doesn't work independently, it seems to have some control over another object, but not always.
waste disposal chute (conscience of King to dispose of overload phaser)
"Alternative factor" doubles as High Voltage access door
How about this handy work console? It's been used just about everywhere on the ship (except the bridge)
Interesting...I didn't realize that the waste disposal chute was also used as the High Voltage door. But...incorrect answer.
Not the work console either.
I'm running out of clues....let's see if I can come up with another.

Clue 7:
The other object that this particular object sometimes controls, plays an important role on the ship and is used quite frequently.
The turbolift control knob/handle?
One time, Kirk needed to use it to control a freefall of the turbolift. Usually, it is just twisted and a voice command given. I assume there are many of the them on the ship since it supposedly has many turbolifts. Clue 3 uses the "twist" word in it, too.

We have a winner!!! It is indeed the turbolift control handle...and you got the hidden clue "twist!" You explained some of the clues, I think the others are self explanatory now that we know the answer. If not, I can explain each one, at least to how I came up with them. Good job, you're up Henoch!
Wild guess...the stripes on the uniform sleeves 
Wild Guess, Part Deux....The Jefferies Tube
Got it!!!
Shatner’s toupees!!!
Shatner’s toupees!!!
@MarsWeeps is on a roll. Correct, it's the desk/table top view-screens. You got the clues correctly, too. You're up, again.
This should be interesting....I can re-use some of my previous clues to describe an entirely different object. 
Clue 1:
We see this used at various times throughout the series. While its function is never mentioned on screen - we sort of know what function it's related to.

clear light up probe thing above sickbay beds?
Unbelievable! You nailed it in one guess! Looks like I won't have to re-use my clues after all.
Your turn!
