[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Yeah, Seven's "quarters" were actually on the holodeck, so furnishing them was no problem for Seven. The problem is, Seven probably created this fake with the supposition that it would also be doable in real life. Then again, we can naturally argue that she tickmarked every holo-character template at the box that says "Character will ignore certain blatant conflicts with reality without as much as a shrug"... I doubt that starship furniture is really replicated, though. Just because the replicator exists doesn't mean it should be used for everything. (Similarly, just because the bridge is a detachable module doesn't mean that whenever the coffee mug holder on the Captain's armrest is changed, we should yell "a new module!") Even comfy couches can be collapsible, perhaps stored in quantity in some cargo hold. Or then every room is in fact pre-furnished. It need not be wasteful - it's just a point-of-view issue. It would be more wasteful to leave them undecorated if the energy and materials for decorating them had to be taken away from a pool of vital shipboard resources. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
