The same thing just occurred to me! But there have to be planets that are all forest right? Star Wars teaches us that planets exist that are covered in entirely one type of ecosystem.
All planets, except Earth, have a single ecosystem. Also a single culture, a single country, and speak only one language. (The rare exception is the planet that has two or even three countries, and in every such case they have been locked in a hate-filled fight to the death for generations and nobody remembers the original cause.)
Lampshaded in Stargate, when they were dumped out of the Gate randomly onto a planet in a cave, and when they climbed up to the surface to see only ice and snow, so of course they declared they were on an “ice planet” and therefore there was no hope of rescue (since clearly all planets only have on terrain). Turns out they were on Earth. It seems, apparently, that there are parts of Earth that are covered in snow. Who knew?

I’ve never been into the Stargate show, but that sounds hilarious. I thought about trying out the show, but with as many years with as there are now, I’d be at it forever. That’s if I could even find them to stream them!
Nigel isn’t that wasteful – I’m sure that wasn’t real Wood, just “Wud” – a faux-wood product popular because it can easily be fabricated by replicating nannites out of any readily available cheap source of carbon. Most people just dump a few pounds of bulk diamonds into the replicator and presto – you’ve got a imitation wood door in no time.
Either he had no idea that things were that bad, or he really did set Dax up. I am hoping it’s the former.
Well, at least he hasn’t had them shot yet…
does dax have any idea how much it costs to import a real wooden door to a space station?!

One type of ecosystem on the surface at least. Could be much more going on under ground that we never get to see.
Still seems like a stretch to me. But hey, who knows?!

He does know. He just wants to show how pissed he is.
Maybe he figured the best way to hurt Nigel was through his pocketbook.

Sounds about right!
