/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I mean, I've seen the Computer beam them up in most sub-optimal conditions. Usually, on away missions, using the shuttle. And I, of course, understand that the real answer is "because the plot demands it". But it still annoys me a bit.
If the transporter really worked they would just transport people out of caves all the time. Saying they can't do that makes zero sense that rocks would block a subspace transmission. It's not going through the rocks, it's circumventing them through another dimension.
They try to hand wave it away by saying that they can't get a sensor lock, but wouldn't you in that case just lock onto the entire interior of the cave, and beam all of it to the surface. You'll probably transport a lot of useless boulders as well but who cares. It's not like you have a weight capacity.
They just have such ridiculously OP tech that you can solve virtually any problem with ease. For instance:
You could even automate the process. Automatically purge rock from the pattern, since obviously no part of the away crew are made of rock.
Until you transport a Brikar ensign and they materialize without their skin ๐
Beam them into a cargo hold, with gravity disabled
