[–] jalanhenning@startrek.website 1 point 1 year ago (2 children) Why didn't they just put Batel in the medical transporter's pattern buffer, like M'Benga did with his daughter? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website [S] 6 points 1 year ago I'm sure it wouldn't work for , but this is the unfortunate consequence of treating it so casually in season one... permalink fedilink source parent [–] SpaceScotsman@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago* My theory - M'benga's daughter had a degenerative disease and her pattern was stable enough to put into the buffer. But Batel's problem is she has loads of living Gorn inside her, and so has Gorn DNA in very close proximity to her own. At one point they even say they're co-dependent on each other. They probably didn't want to end up with a "The Fly"/Tuvix situation. permalink fedilink source parent
