You would not believe how much the Klingon actors studied the Klingon language.

The Klingon actors were the nerdiest of the nerds. Their homes and apartments were toy and fantasy-lands.

When the ride went down and we had to stall in the cargo bay, I got nerd blitzed with questions only Trekkies would know like:

Ultra Nerd: " So with the turbo lift down how which way would WE get back to the bridge? Hmmmmm?"

Me: " sir, you would take Jeffries tube 401 from this deck 13 to deck 1 up the ladder to sub corridor 2A near the primary plasma conduits and EPS manifolds."

Ultra Nerd: " I see....."

It was one of the best feelings when you woke up everyday knowing where you would go to work, the pride of putting on the uniform and placing my starfleet rank on my collar. Good memories

The real cool behind the scenes stuff was how we transported you from the false room that was balanced on a counterweight and pendulum roof that brought you into the transporter room. There were several thousand fiber optic cables that lined the false room walls to create the sense of being transported.

The best part was when the lights came up after I made the transporter gesture to complete the transfer and you would hear the ahhhs and oooo's. Many people actually cried when they realized where they were and what had just happened.
