Down Tube Thingy looks like something a Klingon would use to try and Decapitate James T Kirk !
"Seems logical to me captain."
"So it would seem."
"Irritating? Ah yes - one of your Earth emotions."
"That sounds most inconvenient. Have you considered having it removed?"
"That should prove interesting."
"I am endeavoring, ma'am, to construct a mnemonic circuit using stone knives and bearskins."
"Captain, I don't think that insults are within your prerogative as my commanding officer."
"I have never understood the female capacity to avoid a direct answer to any question."
"It is curious how often you humans manage to obtain that which you do not want."
" I endeavour to be accurate."
Spock
