[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel: [QB] I think the idea with the "transplanting" was to preserve anything that might possibly give rise to new life. I think there was a line where Chekov said, "perhaps its some preanimate matter caught in the matrix." If preanimate matter is something akin to primordial soup, I wouldn't want to be the one possibly destroying the beginnings of a planetary ecosystem. (I know there's an entry in the ST Encyclopedia, I'm just too lazy to go check it). Also remember, the goal of the Genesis Device was to create "life from lifelessness." If there was anything at all living on the test planet, there's a strong possibility that it might alter the results of the experiment, which is a very bad thing, from a scientist's point of view. By the way, if Chekov and Terrell went down to the planet, they are carrying millions upon billions of microbes on the exterior of the suits that would contaminate a supposedly sterile planet. (Unless, of course, the biofilters on the transporter got rid of all of those. Which is possible.) And, with this quantum torpedo thingy, isn't it relatively pointless to destroy the torpedo magazine? I mean, wouldn't that only cause a localized explosion within the hull? It might trigger the explosion of the entire ship, but using ordnace packages for that would be much simpler and more efficient, would it not? Hmmm, an interesting gedanken, as Einstein might call it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
