[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] There's also a control console seemingly dedicated to the operation of that hull orifice... Far too complex a setup for this to be a mere window. I'd suspect this is an umbilical connector of some sort. The hole isn't conveniently sized or shaped for the ingress or egress of personnel or goods. And clearly it wouldn't be a good idea to pump deuterium or fresh water or plasma or somesuch through it, as it opens directly to the Jeffries network. But it makes wonderful sense that this would be a purge valve for the Jeffries system. Rather than an "emergency relief valve", though, I'd suggest this is where the starbase plugs in when it starts to recycle the air aboard the Enterprise. That is, this is one of the dozens or hundreds of such plug-ins necessary for the job. Such a hole would not need any adjacent machinery, and indeed nothing useful is visible in the room, save for the control console. Oh, and the railing in the middle of the corridor... When does one need such "traffic dividers"? When there's a great rush to a limited number of destinations. Either this corridor serves a cafeteria, or then helps divide the flow of evacuees to lifepods (some which we saw are accessed via corridor walls in this ship). (OTOH, what the hell is the *real-world* reason for that set? Did they accidentally build too wide a set for two people to interact, and narrowed it down this way? Did they have a spare rail lying around? Were they planning on replacing the outer wall with a greenscreen and cool graphics of vast spaces beyond?) Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
