If Paramount were smart, they’d do something like this. Disney+ has all kinds of “screen saver” ASMR-adjacent things. Paramount could easily whip up an hour-long slow pan of generic crew life on the Enterprise. I mean, I’ve put on the 10 hours of nacelle white noise you can find on YouTube.
Question: in all of the shows, particularly the TNG era 24th century ones, did they ever depict using a wrench to turn a bolt or anything like that? Occasionally they’ll fire a little laser at something…
I mean just simply…how is the thing held together? The crew just walks up to a wall, grabs a panel and yanks it off. You can peel the Enterprise like an orange.
Magnets. Perhaps keyed into the biometrics of certain personnel? Honestly, I just assumed that they were basically a much more technologically developed version of those cabinets at my aunt’s house that you push the corners to open.
This week on Star Trek: Georgi puts on his PPE and cleans the Dilithium chamber during monthly warp core maintenance.
I’d watch it.
warp core maintenance asmr 10 hours
Legit I’d toss this on while playing a game.
Have some dialogue that sounds like people walking by (quiet, louder, quiet again) and some show dialogue between people in engineering and I’m sold.

Is the Enterprise entirely toolless?
The bolts are self sealing, so they probably don’t need a lot of tools.
It’s part of Trek philosophy: everything has to be futuristic and unfamiliar, even if it makes no sense, like palm flashlights.
My favorite Star Trek commentary is found on Ronald D. Moore’s audio track to the BSG mini-series.

And how do the doors always know your intent? The answer is don’t think about it, Morty.
they don’t
I think the tools you see O’Brien and others using do do that, just with directed energy.
