A spaceship captain and transporter technician are in the transporter room, looking frazzled.
Captain: She’s still on the planet. Use the transporter!
Technician: I can’t, there’s particle interference.
Captain: That’s not an acceptable answer, Lieutenant. We leave no one behind.
Technician: Well… her pattern’s still in the computer.
Captain: Just get her up here!
Later…
In a conference room, a hanging banner reads:
Society of Abandoned Transporter Clones
Welcome Jamal Ann Tina Tina 2 Newcomer!
Member 1: And then they just made themselves a clone and left me on the planet!
Member 2: At least you didn’t have to sit in the buffer for fifty years.
P.S. Our bills are paid by our wonderful patrons. Could you chip in?
It seems Tina is especially unlucky … LOL
Good one again, Bunny and Chris!
If we talk days of the week, that’s every day. In that case, every day ends with Y. That transporter’s useless. Sounds like it’s time for a new one!
They brought in a mechanic, so now it only breaks on days with the letter A in them.
Relax, it’s the safest way to travel! The chances that you’ll be duplicated, split into good and evil halves, switched with your evil parallel universe counterpart, agonisingly turned inside out, delivered to the wrong location or time, transformed into a giant microbe living in the pattern buffer, reduced to a distortion-inducing ghost, fused with another person and an alien orchid, left in an out-of-phase limbo, simply lost altogether, forced to stay in transporter stasis for 75 years, used for genetic material to create a 29th century Borg drone, embedded with nearby debris, inflicted with incurable neurological degradation resulting from cumulative molecular-level damage leading to dementia and eventual death, or turned into a child are very low. Most people only personally experience two or three of these in their lifetime!
Haha, wow you have a comprehensive knowledge of transporter accidents, and I actually remember most of those episodes too.
Best comment! And I second Chris.
:-D
Best comment for best comic!
On a more somber note, those of us who can remember/recognize each of those accidents should invest in those pill organizer thingies
