TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

If he was living in the 22nd century, he certainly would be replicating shit. And eating it.
Where is this from?
Discovery season 3. It’s one of the scenes with Osyrra.

I totally forgot. Did they revert to protein synthesizers? I was referring to those which are explicitly said to use recycled waste.
I assume the synthesizers in season 1 and 2 are the same tech from ENT.
EDIT: Presumably TOS uses the same protein synthesizers too. I’m not certain how food is made in the 24th century considering in “The Spy Humongous” Tendi says the food was wasted reassembled protein. Prior to that moment, TNG only mentions having the molecular pattern is required for a food replicator.
This is Admiral Vance explaining to Osyraa that the replicators use processed waste as their base. I would assume every generation of ship uses this tech if they used if from the NX-01 until the 31st century. Maybe the replicators are just souped up protein shufflers but they called them something new so that people wouldn't be constantly reminded that they're eating poo.
I mean, that's pretty much what life on earth does today. It's not like an apple tree conjures its fruit from nothing. Most biomatter was at one point shit or a corpse. By now, probably both many times over. We just use biological protein reshufflers.
The fleet being in their little hidden pocket forced them to make use of waste materials. I imagine ships sent out on missions also have a duty to collect supplies/energy usable for sustaining the population.
