Personally, I agree with Doctor McCoy's distrust of transporters. Whenever I can, I build an underground transport system.
Actually, the Castle's tubular system of spherical elevator cars is my most advanced project.
The only character I've had who used a "transporter" in the Star Trek sense, more or less, only did it to avoid thirty thousand years of flight time. Then his signal had to be downloaded into a body grown for the purpose.
It's not my preferred method of travel.
Was that from ‘Beyond The Blue Event Horizon’?
