I suspect they used *two* transporters; doesn't the Enterprise have 4 of them? (Yes, according to my Star Fleet Tech Manual.) Two are on the port side, Deck 7, separated by a corridor; the other two are in mirror-image positions on the starboard side. Why not beam four to T.R.1 and the other three to T.R.2? --bsa -- Brandon Allbery @ North Coast Xenix | the.world!ucbvax!decvax!cwruecmp! 6504 Chestnut Road, Independence, Ohio | {atvax!}ncoast!{tdi1!}bsa (216) 524-1416 \ 44131 | E1439@CSUOHIO.BITNET (friend's acct.) ---------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- `Confusion is my natural state.'
