BLAKE: Send solid objects like radio signals. Trouble was it seldom worked.
AVON: And on living matter it never worked. Put a living creature into one end, take a dead creature out of the other, or nothing at all.
(from 'Cygnus Alpha')
AVON: He falsely assumed that the technology and computers were an integral part of himself, like an arm or a leg, but take him out of his life support system and that's what you're left with. CALLY: And that's what the teleport did to him? (from 'Moloch')
Given the statements above, I was wondering about the Teleport system on Liberator.
Could the teleport system transport objects that contained NO organic matter whatsoever? For example, could one put a bracelet on Orac (fastened around its handle) and teleport it?
It's stated that the Aquitar project never worked on living matter, but the Liberator system didn't have this problem. If the Aquitar system SELDOM worked on non-living matter, could Liberator's system have this problem sorted as well?
Another similar point. Assuming that the teleport system separated Moloch from his life-support system (an easy assumption since that's what happened!), why did it not separate Gan from the technology implanted in him? What distinguishes a life-support system (which is technologically based) from a limiter, a box of lock-picking tools, a gun (all technologically based) - or even clothing?
By the way, thanks for all the con reports. They were very interesting reading, but now I'm jealous as hell!
