Transporter use codes

Star Fleet has many codes, protocols, and procedures which govern the use of the transporters. Generally using these codes does not require a test. Some of the more noteworthy ones include:

• Transporter Protocol 5. Transport a person to the designated location, but do not send/bring his weapons with him. (A clever transporter operator could, similarly, program the transporters not to rematerialize a subject’s clothes, or personal possessions, or the like.) To ensure the safety of persons at the transport designation, transporters can stop any weapon discharge which occurs just as transport begins.

• Transporter Protocol 7. Rematerialize a designated person or persons first, leaving the other subjects in the pattern buffer.

• Transporter Protocol 8. Rematerialize a designated person or persons in the brig, or in some other specified location.

• Transporter Code 14. Dematerialize the object and then “rematerialize” it in a dissociated condition, thus destroying it. This procedure may not be used on living beings.
