    I was today years old when I realized that the bridge crew all had chairs and the transporter operator was expected to stand.

        Both were ‘security.’ Makes sense for the cop to have their eyes on the room and not a screen.

      Guess that’s the difference between commissioned officers and non-coms. But he’s the transporter chief, just beam in a random chair from somewhere on the ship and program the transporter to automatically put it in the pattern buffer when someone enters the Transporter Room. Just make sure it isn’t The Chair, that might arouse suspicion. 😁

      if it was my job I’d optimise it to the point where I store myself in the transporter buffer until someone came in

      OR make a transporter clone and alternate shifts

      So true today, management and select few get offices and chairs while the rank and file get written up if we sit.

      some stations you are only at for a minute, some you’re at for an hour I guess?
