/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.

Wouldn't the first transporter trip filter those out, though?
Not if the episode plot hinges on them staying

Ozempic got nothing on this Mark IV site to site transporter slaps console
No. Transporter Chefs tend to be obsessed with filter performance and TTL (Time To Live). They keep turning off all of the "unneeded" filters. If a filter hasn't caught an issue in the last 100 transfers, it is removed (not commented out, they use "git" to catch those issues.) Eventually issues happen, but that is why they have defense in depth and so many red shirts.
The Federation doesn't tell you this, but a redundant backup is stored in the buffer for 24hrs just in case of delayed liquifaction.
They make a mean omelette though
