Self-sealing Stem Bolt...

[2 of 10]

Does anyone really know what a "Self-Sealing Stem Bolt" is used for, it seems like whenever The Chief needs kind of device he usually asks for a self-sealing stem bolt. Is this some kind of an inside Trek joke...

 

[Delta1]

It is a stem bolt that seals itself.

 

[Herkimer Jitty]

They seal up holes in the plot. Unfortunatley, Voyager left spacedock without a supply.

[captcalhoun]

it's a technobabble widget that had its name re-used by the staff as a joke, like waste-extraction.

It's kinda like a left-handed spanner.

I believe stem bolts were also mentioned in ENT "Anomaly".

Stems bolts were and still are a very unfunny running "joke".

Just like episodes set on Risa.

[Newspaper Taxi]

Oh, Chief O'Brien! You and your self-sealing Stem Bolts and your frequent shoulder injuries. Won't you ever learn?

I ALWAYS LOVED DS9 FERENGI EPISODES! They were fricking hilarious.

 

[RoJoHen]

Well...they were usually awful in every other series!

I don't know how they managed, but Voyager had 2, that's right, 2 of em!

So, these Ferengi are hired by Wesley to deliver a load of self-sealing stem bolts to a buyer on Risa when suddenly...

I think Tuvok likes magenta.
