Underground toilets

Working 1.5km (~1 mile) underground presents a unique set of challenges.  Among them: how do go to the bathroom?  There is very limited water plumbing, so the use of standard toilets is not possible.  The solution: incinerating toilets!  Just make sure you aren't seating on it when it's active.
