/c/TenFoward: 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. 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.

MODERATORS
After all, Why shouldn't I?
Great now we have a latent copy of the one ring in the transporter buffer.
Surely nothing bad will ever come from this...
"One buffer to rule them all!"
And bind them...
And the capability to create as many copies of that ring as you want, actually.
Just one copy of "the one ring" would cause chaos. Now, imagine a hundred million of those fuckers on the open market! While some of the immediate side effects might be a bit weird, but it seems like the entire system of control might collapse fairly quick.
Leak a copy of the transport buffer to China, while we are at it, and we should be seeing those show up on EBay for $1.99 in about a week or so.
It's no so precious any more, is it??
The transporter wouldn't be able to disassemble the one ring. In universe, my assumption is that they wouldn't even be able to get a sensor lock on it.
Probably couldn't transport anyone carrying the ring either.
Alternative solution: They collect a sample of lava from Mt. Doom and dump it on Bag End.
Oh poor Frodo.
Could they teleport lava?
My man Hemmer sure could.
I bet B’elanna could lock onto it. She’d do like a mithril lock or something. It’s like a skeletal lock but for dwarven jewelry.
Data would never misspell successfully
It would be interesting if the ring ever made its way onto DS9 and into Quark's hands. Everyone would wonder why he's obsessing about a ring made of worthless gold.
The eagles only couldn't be used because they are only capable of sub-orbital flight. The Eye of Sauron can only see inside the atmosphere.
LOL WTF did I just watch?
Yes.
This would violate the Prime Directive.
