I have reconsidered. I spent the whole night reconsidering, and what I’ve decided goes against all my principles. Someday my people are going to come up with some sort of a doctrine, something that tells us what we can and can’t do out here, should and shouldn’t do. But until somebody tells me that they’ve drafted that directive I’m going to have to remind myself every day that we didn’t come out here to play God.

Transporter technology is very new. I’m sure Humans were equally frightened when the automobile was introduced, or the airplane. New forms of transport take a while to get used to. I’m not at all surprised at your reaction. You wouldn’t catch me using that apparatus.
