Another M'ress request from the guy who got me to draw her and Ripper a while back. Apparently the captain insisted a little too firmly that he wanted to "spend the night inside her."

The amusing result of saying that in this setting, they can use the transporter to beam people back into existence, is that they can't create matter from nothing. There must be a reservoir of "base matter" on board the ship. And since the ship is a closed environment for the most part, all "used" material has to be filtered and turned back into base matter in case they need it.

The upshot of this is that the new captain may be, at least partly, made of the old one's now-digested body. Especially if he gets eaten more than once. 83
