That Voyager is one clean burning starship though, I’ll tell you what. (lemmy.world)

The cannon answer is that it doesn't work that way, it coverts you to energy and that energy is turned back into you so "nothing changes". In cannon it doesn't kill you and assemble a new copy, and you can't duplicate a person because you only have one copy of their energy.

Accidents like Thomas Riker are not supposed to be possible and only happen when they encounter strange energies which cause reactions that aren't understood, so they can't just make duplicates on demand.

The transporter doesn’t work this way.

Sometimes it does but that doesn’t count because it’s not supposed to work this way.

Just ignore it, it’s probably nothing.

Your soul is already lost to the warp.

I didn't write the cannon, I just went to warp in it.

A photonic cannon?

I'm pretty sure even in Voyager there was an incident where someone got stuck in the transporter puffer/cache/whatever it's called in the og

Off hand I actually can’t think of any, aside from as close as Tuvix got.

There was the episode where the population of Neelix’s home planet were revealed to be in some kind of particle limbo from a Star Trekium powered super weapon and a scientist was trying, unsuccessfully to restore them.

I think there was also an episode where Voyager smuggled some people through hostile space by hiding them in the pattern buffer.

You’re right, ‘Counterpoint’ from season 5.

That was a badass ep, thanks for having a keener memory than me.

In the new one, the doctor is literally keeping his daughter in stasis in it...
