Uhh! Upload Holocaust! Scary. I wonder how the teleport tech works in Star
Trek. Nano, accelerated particles, or upload clones? Remember the episode
where they teleport Riker off a ship and the teleporter malfunctions and
they have a clone that remained on that ship for like 20 years? Or the
episode where that guy was afraid to go into the teleporters because he was
afraid his consciousness would cease to exist? Perhaps we're seeing a
million clones of Riker, and Picard!
