Talk:Emergency transport unit

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

I removed the following personal note, as articles aren't the place for this sort of thing. --From Andoria with Love 06:28, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Such a device appears to be implausible. A unit that is required to perform the functions of a transporter would need to remain in a solid state to dematerialize, store, transmit and reconstitute anything, could not itself be dematerialized without removing a way for a transported item to be rematerialized. It is much more likely that the Emergency Transporter unit contains automated transporter control circuirty designed to automate the return the target to it's mothership.

It's valid speculation and should remain in the article. Speculation exists in every other article.

There really shouldn't be any speculation on MA, except perhaps when absolutely necessary to explain an apparent contradiction (none exists here) – and even then it should be brief and to the point. --From Andoria with Love 07:22, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
