Alt text (which is actually, and always has been, the title text but we all just call it the alt text: “wipe questions about old star trek episodes from MY mind and there simply wouldn’t be anything left, and i would be as blank as Uhura was when her memory was wiped by Nomad, the space probe created by the collision of an Earth probe designed to seek out new life forms, and Tan Ru, an alien probe programmed to secure and sterilize soil samples from other planets, and their two programs merged and create a probe who believed its purpose was to seek out and steralize imperfect life forms and which then mistook Captain James Kirk as Jackson Roykirk, its creator!”
I love how they casually stomp on log cabins and cars while deeply pontificating philosophical issues
This makes sense if you subscribe to the thought that everyone dies in the transporter, but they recreate the person like the food on board and upload their consciousness into the newly created meat sack.
They could upload a backup into Uhura, and she would be good as new.
Wait, why did it take a week? Why do they have backups?!? 😳
You don’t need to upload anything. An exact copy would already be conscious.
Omg, HOW did I forget about dinosaur comics, I’m so disappointed in myself
It would be awesome if someone shared them here. I keep forgetting to check the website and I don’t think there’s really any other way to follow then.

Coincidentally i happened to see this episode last night, and it is basically as described in the comic, and i had the exact same problem with this plot.
