one of the things that cracked me up, though, was that they could re-materialize the “kid” in stasis with that vacuformed stuff on top of him but couldn’t, like, selectively not transport a space suit or other hazmat suit. (I.e. beam the person over, re-materialize the suit first, then the person. then when they’re coming back, you beam the two over but leave the suit de-materialized and just replicate a new one.)
They absolutely could have safely sent bodies over if what we saw on the episode was ‘safe enough’.
(as a side note, why did they have to expose anyone at all to see? A petri dish with something that looks vaguely like human cells would have been enough. we’ve been doing that ourselves for ages.)
yup. Brusque. Domineering. Unprofessional.
