Oh I know, I'm Team Transporter Isn't A Murder Machine, but fuuuuuuck the writers make it hard sometimes.

Like, I quote Realm of Fear all the time because Barclay is conscious through the entire process *and* is able to pull people stuck in the phased state out of it before they go into the buffer.

Combine that with The Next Phase (TNG 5x24) and it feels to me regardless of what the tech manual says, its more likely that your matter gets phased and compressed before being *shifted* to wherever you're being sent and then uncompressed and unphased.

I love Trek but the transporters are basically magic.

It does not help that Trek muddies the waters as much as it does over the entire series lifetime.

Somehow, both Second Chances (TNG 6x24) and Realm of Fear (TNG 6x02) are both canon and entirely contradictory as to how the transporter works. You can't be both entirely conscious through the transport process and basically whole, AND be capable of duplicating into two people.
