Transporter double

[Valdivia]

As standard for your duties, you walk into the transporter pad to transport to a nearby ship, for transfer. After a final look back, you sigh and nod to the transporter chief and feel the familiar blue haze engulf you. An instant later the blue shimmer disappears and you stand there, in the very same transporter room, looking at the very same, albeit surprised, transporrter chief.

“Sorry, sir.” she says, as he starts checking the computer for an explanation. She contacts your destination ship, but there seems to be a problem. Apparently, you are already there. For some reason, as your pattern was transmitted, the computer failed to eliminate your copy from this ship. The transporter chief doubts. Two armed security officers enter the room.

“Sorry, but we would need you to step back into the transporter so it can complete its cycle. “

This is a new entry in our Morals of Trek category. This time, the scenario can be a bit familiar since Commander Riker lived something similar. But not exactly the same since, where the two Rikers had years to lead separate lives, you barely had a few seconds. Tell us what you would do!

Well I'm me, so I would definitely be telling the chief to get that other version to get back in the buffer. After all, that's the imposter, right?

There's two of me now. Can only mean double the fun.

One of me is already more than the world can handle.

Very tricky question. Was the copy created on the other ship or the original? Both are alive. But who has the right to continue the life path. Particularly if there is no way to determine who the copy is.
