@theAeon I remember that now. It might have been a plotline in #JamesBlish ’s #SpockMustDie novel, too? (read it 50ya, so it’s fuzzy)

We never did get an explanation of how the visually-distinct #Supervisor ‘s transporter, from #AssignmentEarth, worked

Yet, the existing tech, as described, led to some interesting plot lines, though. Including #ThomasRiker, a variation on Blish’s novel.
