Interstellar Garbage Collectors

[Teaos]

The Federation it self might not do it but it could be a practical way for individuals to make money.

Like homeless people picking up aluminum cans, future hobos can pick up blown up space junk.

[Mikey]

Because, you know, the future hobos would all have their own salvage ships.

[Teaos]

Enlisted men have their own space appartments, hobos could have their own ships...

touche.

[Lighthawk]

" Captain, we're being hailed by a junk cruiser in orbit around the debris field"
" Just ignore them, lets continue on our way quickly and quietly, and maybe they'll leave us alone"
" Still being hailed sir. Very insistantly too...the translator's censoring subroutine just kicked on."
" Increase speed, lets get out of here before they do something..."
" Ah hell, sir they're moving to block our path."
" *sigh* Fine, try beaming them a few slips of latium, see if that'll appease them. Damn space hobos."

[Mikey]

"Sir, they appear to be arming some sort of device..."
"Details?"
"Ummm... it appears to be a squirt bottle of dirty water and a squeegee..."

"I didn't mean the Enterprise should be hauling garbage, I meant it should be hauled away as garbage."

"Intruder alert!" The security chief yells.
Dozens of hobos beam on board the Enterprise and begin squirting liquid onto the view panels and touch pads firing off missiles and sending the ship on random courses. More hobos beam onto the hull of the ship cleaning the windows into space.

[Tsukiyumi]

"What do we do now, captain!?"

" Shake your fists, and yell at them to 'get a job!'"

[Angharrad]

Another reason windows are a bad idea.

Good idea, Teaos. Honestly, I could see this. Pakleds scouring battlefields for technology uncollected, etc. It makes sense, on some level.
