Would you work in the Federation?

    I've thought about this a lot. Really, unless you're a researcher or in Starfleet, life could get pretty boring. No one gets paid, everyone works purely for the good of humanity. So, that means, the guy who cleans your gutters doesn't get paid. Maybe he's not smart enough for a researching job. Maybe he's not qualified for Starfleet. Now he cleans gutters. I'm not nearly smart enough to be a researcher. It's either gutters or Starfleet.

    You assume that people doing the menial tasks enjoy it, because they're helping humanity, so if that was your job, you'd feel the same way having been brought up in that way. I don't think I could do it. Even though I'd be wearing a red shirt, I'd be in Starfleet. The constant fear of death is better than a life unclogging gutters.

    Leaves Holodeck after 7 day session, bleary eyed and bow legged with a bag of ice stuck down the front of trousers.

    Memo to self, wait till at the door before disengaging Holodeck.

    Enter next person. *scream Sweet crossdressing Klingons, WTF is all this sticky stuff on the floor/walls/ceiling?

    Mr Plazaman to the Captains quarters.

    Captain : Get the hell off my ship you pervert.

    Shuttle to Earth to look for gutter clearing jobs.

    Totes worth it.

    A great opportunity to have a glorious, heroic and brave death if the possibility arose: going into the warp drive like Spock to diffuse the critical buildup and so contaminate myself so I can never come out. Don't forget the significance of the Vulcan hand sign through the glass to end it all.
