    Why is the straw all over the platform.
    Do those people walk around on a bed of straw everywhere, like royalty with rose petals?
    Which one of them walks in front and throws the straw down?

    Or are they just taking a supply of straw with them from the ships hold and no one had a way to bale it?
    Why couldn’t they bale the straw, was that technology lost to the sands of time?
    The ancient art of containing straw is one of the 25th centuries greatest mysteries.

      They’re like the Zerg, just with straw instead of the creep. It spreads wherever they go and they can’t survive long without it.

      It’s for the animals, you have no idea how tough it is to clean animal droppings out of the transporter.

        Oh that’s the easy part. That guy that looked at my wife while we were eating the other night? It gets teleported to his cabin.
