Root: Couldn’t be bothered getting changed.

Root: Dunno. Couldn’t be bothered programming the synthesizer.

Wheel: Hours spent in the kitchen trying to turn our remaining stores in to soemthing like food, and my reward is the sight of you eating this synthesizer crapola!

Root: Oh, Baby.

Root: Oh, Baby!

Notes

8.2

There are a few TOS episodes where we see people eating these yellow, red, and blue lumps they obtain from the synthesizer. Do they use the same colourings as are used in the new uniforms?
