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.
“Captain, this seems like a gross violation of both the Prime Directive and the Temporal Prime Directive”

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.
First, I agree with all of the above: within existing lore it seems obvious that the transporter wouldn’t be able to transport the one ring for several reasons having to do with magic.
But also, this is just a reminder that I think the transporters in Star Trek are so narratively uninteresting. I like Trek, but pretty much in spite of the tech writing. The degree of magic in their technology just does nothing for me. I wish we had more fiction that was like a cross between Star Trek and The Expanse.
So transporting it should remove any magic
Wouldn’t this violate the prime directive? Or if the captain fucks an elf is it ok then?
Starfleet makes an exception for elf romance.
What do you think the Elven ships are?
It’s more of a prime suggestion
better flush the pattern buffer a couple of times just to be sure
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.
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.
Eject the core!
Captain, scanners detect a silver ship with a bright light beacon approaching
