"Mr. Spock, What do you have in mind," Sulu asked as Spock accessed the
computer via the sickbay interface. "I intend to beam us out of here," Spock replied. "Beam?!" McCoy spoke up. "Spock, I'm not real fond of using that crazy atom scrambler at the best of times - which this definitely does not qualify as!" "If done properly, there is no more risk than during a normal transport, doctor," Spock replied, not looking up. "But Mr Spock," Fred said, drawing on Uhura's memories, "Won't the women on the bridge be able to detect our transport signal?" "Yes, most definitely," Spock said. "But we shall be one among many." "Ah, I see," Chekov said, looking over the Vulcan's shoulder. "Ve actiwate all the transporter pads across the ship, and the trails vill be untraceable." "Precisely, Mr. Chekov. They will, of course, eventually be able to isolate ours, but we shall have changed positions via more pedestrian means by then." McCoy, though, was still unconvinced.

Come out, and maybe we'll let you live!" McCoy looked more annoyed than angry. "I guess I'll save my rebuttal for another time, Spock. For now, though, let's get out of Dodge."

He and McCoy were joined by Fred, Sulu, Chekov, Ensign LeClerc, and the two orderlies. "Brace yourselves," Spock ordered as he punched a button - and just as the doors to sickbay were blown open, the eight of them were caught in the transporter beam. Uhura had beamed up and down many times, and those memories were sharp to Fred - but the actual experience was still quite disorienting. it was as though she were in two places at once - and at the same time, nowhere at all. After what seemed like an eternity (but was more likely, she knew, less than three seconds), the sensation vanished, and Fred, along with the others, found herself:
