The ion storm didn't cover the whole planet, but it did cover Pike's and Spock's location. Mantle is BIG.
Further, the mantle can be transported with less complex molecular resolution, transporting people requires quantum resolution.

That is in fact what the episode itself is saying. Or, as M'benga put it, they've traded old bigotry for a new one. They being Starfleet.I'm with Pike on this one. I think prohibiting Augments from serving in Starfleet is silly, and counter-intuitive to what the Federation stands for. And considering that there are alien species that are smarter and stronger than humans, it don't make that much of a difference, really.
Just saying.
What? TNG and VOY writers took it as a BADGE OF HONOR that they never watched TYOS (Per GR's direction) - so why would they reference augments in any of the utter cray (which TNG "Unnatural Selection" was IMO) and my stance of VOY is well known <-- It's all crap.Wrong.
The Darwin Genetic Research Station was a Federation research station studying genetic enhancement.
Chakotay had Sensory Tremens that he had genetically deactivated.
Miral Paris had genetic modification to fix a deviated spine before she was born.
Dude, calm down. There was no dishonesty on my part. Nothing in your post changed the claim that she's an alien, so I didn't include it for convenience. I'm simply remarking that nothing so far suggests that Una, and by extension the Illyrians, are anything but human.That WASN'T the point of my post which you quoted. You LEFT out the most relevant part of my statement IN that post:
If you're going to cherry pick something just to play a 'gotcha' with your replies - please don't include me in that type of BS. You intentionally and COMPLETELY misquoted me in your reply.
The last season had an extreme bit of stupidity involving the environmental suits only filtering out things they recognized.Torpedo what, specifically, in Discovery?
Ah, yes. But that's 32nd century tech. 23rd century tech was much more reliable.........The last season had an extreme bit of stupidity involving the environmental suits only filtering out things they recognized.
I'm not assuming 'disagreement' per se is a problem her - taking a statement completely out of context is my issue with what you did. I DIDN'T just simply claim her character is an alien. Even when I 'edit quote' others posts, I quite the entire relevent statement of theirs that I'm reply to IN CONTEXT.Dude, calm down. There was no dishonesty on my part.

It's a particularily obnoxious behaviour to automatically assume that any disagreement or misunderstanding MUST be deliberate.
Did she actually lift him or was it a special effect?
Again: calm DOWN. To me, what I quoted WAS the relevant statement. The rest had, in my understanding, NO BEARING. So I quoted and responded to what I thought was relevant. If you think I made a mistake, then by all means correct me, but don't accuse me of dishonesty.I'm not assuming 'disagreement' per se is a problem her - taking a statement completely out of context is my issue with what you did.

Sounds like the TNG era transporter.The last season had an extreme bit of stupidity involving the environmental suits only filtering out things they recognized.
In one of the later episodes of the last season, their suits didn't filter out the feelings chemicals because they weren't programmed to recognize them. Something like that. Instead, they'd be programed like the bio filters, exclude anything unrecognized.Torpedo what, specifically, in Discovery?
It's actually not difficult using the fireman's lift.Being tall doesn't make you automatically strong. Have you ever tried to pick an unconscious person up like that? Good luck.
Notice how Denobulans are never seen or mentioned again after Enterprise? They're not even confirmed to be in the Federation.Nitpicks: so the ban on genetics is federation-wide and not only related to humans. What about denobulans, then?
Ah! I thought you were refering to something earlier in the series, and since I only watched it once I couldn't recall. Turns out I saw that less than a week ago. I did find that weird at the time.In one of the later episodes of the last season, their suits didn't filter out the feelings chemicals because they weren't programmed to recognize them.

That would make sense, but Illyrians seem to specifically use genetics to adapt to new environments, which -- you'd think -- would be more accepted by the Federation.From what I understand genetic engineering is not illegal when it comes to medical reasons but only if you want to enhance yourself and I thought it was only for humans and not aliens so I am a little confused.
It's Section 31's fault. They hate all augments because, um, they can.That would make sense, but Illyrians seem to specifically use genetics to adapt to new environments, which -- you'd think -- would be more accepted by the Federation.
Don't know which episode it is, but I recall Picard speaking negatively about genetic engineering. Don't remember if it was a captain's log or if he was talking to someone.
They should hook up with the Tal-Shiar, who hate all synthetics.It's Section 31's fault. They hate all augments because, um, they can.
