      I hope someone gave him some good instructions.

      Otherwise, at the last minute it’s going to be like…

        Well, luckily he knows enough about modern systems to know he can talk to the computer for most functions, and if he can’t figure something out, he’ll just disassemble the control panels and wire up an automation switch somewhere to do the hard parts.

        Honestly I think if I came face to face with a wall of instructions for using the bathroom, but I need to use it, I’m just going to find the nearest airlock, do my business, close it and cycle.Just Leave an apology note for whoever has to clean it.

        Forces of nature do not wait for the considerations of man.

            You make a solid point, but I feel like of all people, Scotty could rig up a force field to block off the front section. It’s even got a nice little lip around the inside just behind the cockpit.

            Overriding the safety protocols and interlocks to open the hatch mid-flight and re-close it on the other hand…

            I feel like he got things figured out.

            (also my headcannon is that there are fold-out facilities on all shuttles, similar to how they showcase bathroom use and hand-washing in Firefly)
