Someone mentioned in a reply that in the series Redjac (Jack the Ripper) was beamed apart at "widest angle of dispersion". If anyone remembers the episode, they will recall that the body of the man who was possessed by Redjac was placed on two (count 'em: TWO!) different transporter cells. The widest angle of dispersion would therefore place half of the body in one part of the cosmos, and the other half in another part. In order for this to happen with the Genesis probe, one would have to first beam it onto the Enterprise, and then lay it down in the transporter. I do not believe this would be feasible due to the size of the probe (weight wise). Besides, what would have become of "Star Trek III - Return to Genesis"?? 8-) -The Parker Hobbit a.k.a. Thomas R.
