That microscope looks a lot like a pair of binoculars glued to a small sewing machine...

Two rules:
1: two is one, one is none.
B- always have a spare.
Anything you consider absolutely essential for something, you should have 3 on hand.

To anyone who has not seen Lower Decks, and either doesn't want to or can't:
Rumdar is a Pakled (the "It Makes Us Go", "capture Geordie and force him to make them strong" dumb guys)
When the captain of the USS Cerritos meets this Pakled (and others) they all call her Janeway (because she's a woman and in starfleet, therefore either she must be captain Janeway or all female captains are named Janeway)
They also refer to the Cerritos as "Enterprise", as well as the USS Titan, which they call "Another Enterprise", so either they think all ships are coincidentally named Enterprise , or all starfleet ships are called Enterprise.
What's the story, Wishbone?
I'd say inb4 someone who doesn't know anything about the incident or read the linked page makes a comment about scary nuclear power disaster, but I'm already too late...
Midwesterner here.... It's weird to me too.

The lifepod just stores the bodies at subzero temperatures until a disposal truck comes to collect the bio waste. It all goes to the same place anyway...
Unless it's one of the new ones, those just blend the body in-house and supplement the incoming lines.
Optimistic to think it's fabricated with nanotech instead of just pureé'd people and green dye.
No point in wasting the good stuff on the poors.
That was my next thought, but then where do they get their power, water, and oxygen?
I suppose it could be like a "reserve the surface room for a day" kind of thing, and hundreds of people live down below, with enough space for greenhouses and algea pools for oxygen production. Geothermal power, or simply a solar farm out of view, and deep underground natural water reservoirs...
I still think the immortal people in an indestructible house is probably the best bet.
I got to dodge some lumber on the way to work the other day.
It was going from rear driver side window to front passenger window, sticking about 3ft into my lane. The driver was "holding" about 20-30 2x4s.
Fun times.
