Beam Me Up, Scotty.

B is for "Beam Me Up, Scotty" The transporter is one of the most exciting concepts in Star Trek. It gives our interstellar heroes speed and the element of surprise without taking up too much "story" time. The way it works is a real sweetie. Take the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 transporters which are entrusted daily to separate life form energy patterns, (thats us) by de-materializing and re-materializing humans into a perfectly stable matter stream.


Without air, trapped starfleet crew members will suffer from boiling blood, radiation poisoning, loss of consciousness and asphyxiation. Sounds lovely doesn't it? Well, try imaging what it was like for Decker being gobbled up by the "Doomsday Machine." So its a good idea The Transporter Chief, is on the ball when energizing.

Here are some top tips from Scotty!

1. Target Scan and Co-ordinate lock. Necessary to avoid beaming the Enterprise crew into solid rock formations or inhospitable environments.
2. Energize and De-materializing is a little tricky sometimes but transporting really is the safest way to travel. The trick is keeping the subjects molecular pattern image intact while the transporter "coils" convert "you," hehe. Fingers crossed.
3. Its reassuring to know there are several safety error checking systems to ensure you get from A to B. For instance each transporter has four molecular imaging scanners which act independently of each other. The next time you're on the Enterprise take it easy and relax with a romulan ale: This might be your big chance to get away from it all!



The burning question has to be did Captain James T. Kirk ever say "Beam me up, Scotty," on Star Trek the original series? He did say, "Two to beam up," and other variations but the best remembered bit of trek dialogue is boldly energizing the hearts of fans everywhere.

Akuta

A is for Akuta but who is he? Akuta is a childlike character who cries in Star Trek's classic episode "The Apple" except something is afoot! When the USS Enterprise crew beam down to a tropical paradise, Poisonous darts, explosive rocks, lightening storms and a spooky native lurking in the bushes greet the away team.


The village leader Akuta is easily recognized by his antennae given to him during the "dim time" by Vaal and looks quite harmless. The "Eyes of Vaal" observe and communicate with an almighty super computer keeping it aware of the strangers activities. Soon the order is given to kill. The question you've got to ask yourself is who's calling the shots on Gamma Trianguli VI?

Spock analysis reveals Vaal's cave is protected by a forcefield! Unless Kirk discovers Vaal's Achilles heel time will run out for the USS Enterprise spaceship trying to break free in orbit. The fun begins when the "Feeders of Vaal" are summoned to the feeding place. What will Spock and Kirk try next? How do you exhaust a super computers power source?

It would appear Yeoman Landon is too distracted with Chekov whispering in her ear to be even even slightly concerned about Vaal. Who could blame them taking advantage of shoreleave, chilling out on in this idyllic setting. Trouble is, Gamma Trianguli VI is not what it appears to be.

Chekov: If you insist on worrying, worry about me. I've been wanting to get you in a place like this for a long time.


Is Vaal really immortal?
