His pattern is completely scrambled in the buffer. He's gone."<br /><br />Captain: "Crap."<br /><br />(pause)<br /><br />Captain: "The science officer will give you the coordinates of his next of kin. Have the remains beamed there."<br /><br />Transporter Chief: "But, captain, his atoms have been completely randomized. Some of them have been Doppler-shifted to near absolute zero, others are plasma-hot. He, uh, won't stay in one piece if he's rematerialized."<br /><br />Captain: "Ick. You got a box or something?"<br /><br />Transporter Chief: "A box? No, sir, that won't do..."<br /><br />Captain: "Well, we have to put him somewhere!"<br /><br />Transporter Chief: "Yes, sir."<br /><br />Captain: "Oh! I know! Engineering has these little magnetic bottles they keep anti-matter charges in. They should be tough enough. Go see about that!"<br /><br />Transporter Chief: "But, captain...those bottles are kinda small..."<br /><br />Captain: "Well...use as many as it takes. Do I have to think of everything? Beam 'em onto his kin's front step. Make sure you put a note from me on it. Something classy. You know, 'heroic loss during a critical mission'..."<br /><br />Transporter Chief: "He was bringing back some Saurian Brandy for the officer's mess."<br /><br />Captain: "That's what I mean. 'Deepest Condolences, Ensign Rogers was a good man, yada-yada-yada. Best regards, Captain, etc., etc.'"<br /><br />Transporter Chief: "It was Ensign <i>Roberts</i>..."<br /><br />Captain: "Damned good man. Hate to lose him. Take care of it, chief!"<br /><br />Transporter Chief: "Aye, sir."Paladinnoreply@blogger.com
