Teleporter Accident: Difference between revisions

== [[Literature]] ==

* A couple of very mild ones happen in ''[[Artemis Fowl]]: The Lost Colony'' in the time-tunnel. Artemis and Holly each wind up with one of the other one's eyes, and No1 loses a couple megabytes' worth of memories.

''With Ron and Sid and Meg.

''And I got Sidney's leg. }}

* [[Arthur C. Clarke]]'s short story ''Travel by Wire'' wryly outlines some of the problems inherent in teleportation, with the system's designer admitting that he'd far rather travel by rocket.

* While scrambling into action at the climax of the first ''[[Time Wars]]'' novel, [[Red Shirt|several people]] are teleported to the same time and place. The resulting [[Biological Mashup]] is reported to be mercifully short-lived.

* Played straight, and averted in a ''[[Ciaphas Cain]]'' novel. A squad of World Eater Berserker Marines are teleported in front of Cain and co. These Berserkers are fine and butcher their way through hordes of Slaaneshi cultists. However, [[Footnote Fever|the foot notes]] mention that teleporting is inaccurate, especially when done through a planet as was the case here. Its likely that there are dozens of World Eaters entombed throughout the planet's crusts in near misses, unless {{spoiler|the cultists' [[Summoning Ritual]]}} helped.
