Bio-matter resequencer

A bio-matter resequencer was a device which recycled waste products aboard 22nd century starships such as the. In this process, waste matter was sterilized and broken down for reuse in manufacturing boots, storage containers, and other necessities.

After four Ferengi, Ulis, Krem, Muk, and Grish, took over the control of Enterprise and knocked the crew unconscious, they tried to find the ship's vault. Commander Tucker, who remained conscious, placed a security lock at the the entrance to the bio-matter resequencer room and presented this room as the vault. The Ferengi ran into a trap and were shot by T'Pol, who had been waiting behind the door. In 2151, Enterprise captain Jonathan Archer delegated Molly McCook's question, "When you flush the toilet, where does it go?", to chief engineer Trip Tucker. Displeased, Tucker protested having to answer the "poop question", but ultimately relented and explained the ship's processes of recycling and bio-matter resequencing.
