VOY 3x26: Scorpion Part 1

Is there some kind of Starfleet form I can sign to opt out of transporter hacks you “just came up with”?

    whenever I see transporter memes, it reminds me that no one in starfleet needs to die. they could save and update your pattern. you’d only lose the away mission.

      Pretty sure that’s explained in canon by being too compute and storage intensive. You can’t store a person’s pattern in any medium, apart from the buffer.

      And in there it’s only very temporarily before breaking down (see scotty in the Dyson sphere or m’bengas kid)

        and I’m pretty sure any society advanced enough to develop FTL can figure out the storage problem lol.

        also, scotty was in that pattern buffer for 75 years lol. All I’m saying is if scotty can rig that up in a crashed ship (IN A CAVE) star fleet probably could figure something out.
