The one ring is sitting on the transporter room floor

"Mr. O'Brien, beam it into the fires! Destroy it!"

"No"

It is... Precious to me.

Since the beam reduces the objects into particles and reconstructs it, doesn't it imply that it's able to destroy the ring in the first place? I guess it's necessary to get rid of the particles to make it so they can't re-build it again. But that does raise the question: Would the ability to reconstruct the ring affect one the same way the ring itself would? Or does the ring need to exist to exert its power?

nope. it simply wouldn't be able to get a lock.

conversely if they are able to transport it, the act of disassembling it would unmake the spirit sauron poured into it, being remade somewhere else will not have the same ...sparkle.

"Captain, this seems like a gross violation of both the Prime Directive and the Temporal Prime Directive"

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 hours ago

better flush the pattern buffer a couple of times just to be sure

Wouldn't this violate the prime directive? Or if the captain fucks an elf is it ok then?

What do you think the Elven ships are?

Starfleet makes an exception for elf romance.

Depending on how far it was to Mt Doom, they totally would've searched for a scifi way to destroy the ring first. Probably involving reversing polarity and inverting tachyons.

Eject the core!

Trois would be too exposed to the influence of the ring. If she got a hold of it there's a real chance they'd fail miserably even with teleporters.

Don't they have some device that can conduct heat as hot as mt doom?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

True, the matter-antimatter reaction in a warp core would probably do the trick

In the books they pretty much confirm it takes more than just heat to destroy the One Ring.

Good forges burn hotter than lava, and dragonfire even hotter still, yet Gandalf said that the biggest, baddest dragon who ever lived Ancalagon the Black (who makes Smaug look like a whimpy little butterfly in comparison) wouldn't be able to harm the One Ring.

It's the magical tie to Orodruin/Mount Doom that allows for its destruction.
