Any time sex on a holodeck is referenced, I can’t help but feel sorry for whoever has to clean it up.

It’s not a person, the holodecks are just designed in a horrifying way. We learned from an early TNG episode that when the holodecks do an uncontrolled shut down, they reclaim all the matter within them. It requires a special intentional function to leave the people behind.

So don’t worry about it, they’re self-cleaning

That’s a whole other question. The replicators of TNG era weren’t protein resequencers like they were in Enterprise. They were simple matter/energy conversion. They would reclaim the matter and store any remaining energy in the ship’s reserves.

In Voyager they said the holodecks ran on a completely separate power supply than the rest of the ship, so maybe they never really intermingled with the replicator systems

This was addressed in Lower Decks. The lower deckers have to do it!

Yeah, that’s where the image is from, assuming it showed up for you.

Oh, no, it didn’t. Still isn’t, either. Odd. And I’m on the web, not using an app.

Create post

/c/TenFoward: 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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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. 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’ and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
