[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama Guy: [qb] Actually it was more like [i]something to the effect that[/i] the shields of a Nebula-class reset their modulation every 5 minutes and that he could beam in during that moment. [/qb][/QUOTE]Ah . . . well I'll be damned. I was thinking of the script. One of the perils of not having had all the episodes handy, I guess. ******************************* TNG S4 DVD - Disc 3, Ep 4 "The Wounded" (Circa 37:30): O'Brien: "Sir, let me beam over, try to talk to him. We served together a long time. When you've been through what we have you tend to get inside someone. He might listen." Riker: "He'd never lower his shields and allow you to transport on board." O'Brien: "The Phoenix is using a high-energy sensor system. It cycles every 5.5 minutes. Between cycles there's a window of a fiftieth of a second. Trust me, I can get through." Picard: "Make it so." Then the script includes the following scene not found in the actual episode, picking up where that leaves off: O'Brien heads for the Turbolift. STAR TREK: "The Wounded" - REV. 11/5/90 - ACT FIVE 54. 47A INT. TRANSPORTER ROOM - MINUTES LATER O'Brien and Geordi at the console. O'BRIEN It's good we're trying this with another Federation ship. It would never work with an alien vessel. GEORDI I'm not so sure it's going to work this time. Can you get an accurate enough fix on his shield modulation to get through? O'BRIEN I think so. The Phoenix should be following standard Starfleet protocols. They have to align their shields at the start of every sweep. GEORDI So you'll sync up the beam... O'BRIEN And slip right through... He holds up both hands... slips the fingers of his left hand through the separated fingers of his right. GEORDI But if there's any phase error... you could materialize outside the ship... we'd never have a chance to correct. O'BRIEN I've been monitoring his sweep patterns... I'm telling you, I can compensate... GEORDI And I guess we could increase the pattern buffer cycle to give us a little more margin for error... O'BRIEN The current cycle is almost finished, sir... they'll be phase aligning in twenty seconds... GEORDI Okay, Chief -- let's do it. STAR TREK: "The Wounded" - REV. 11/5/90 - ACT FIVE 54A. 47A CONTINUED: O'Brien goes to the Transporter pad. Geordi keeps his eye on the console. GEORDI Stand by... five seconds... here we go... two... one... He hits the controls, and O'Brien DEMATERIALIZES from the pad. GEORDI Good luck, Chief. [/QB][/QUOTE]
