You wanna see something almost nobody gets to see?
The real warp core.
This is inside of the warp core that we built on the set.
This is something that the special-effects guys have rigged up.
The lights are bouncing off aluminium foil that's just crinkled up,
reflecting back onto the external surfaces,
and then the warp pylons shoot up from that.
All these lights can be changed so that you can dim them up, dim them down,
run the warp core backwards, forwards,
bring in any type of lighting effect that you want,
so that we can change the colour of the warp core,
just add different gels on everything. So this is what makes the ship work.
Another little-known secret of the Enterprise.
Everybody's familiar with our replicators.
We stick things in, we get things out.
Punch in whatever you want. We got coffee, we got hot tea, we got cocoa.
Anything you could imagine.
What they don't tell you, though, is how we actually get it in there.
You're expecting some fancy piece of equipment?
We have a burly guy out here who has a couple of tubes
and a big glass of whatever juice they happen to order.
There's your secret of the Enterprise:
Our replicators? Plastic funnels.
Milk, cold.
