      can you even save someone in a situation like this…?

      Nope. Or, it certainly doesn’t seem so. She is now half floor. Unsure if her bottom half is attached to the ceiling or just a stain above a goopy pile of bones, organs and uniform.

      It was horrifying as a kid. Still is, really.

        I’ve always wondered, obviously they uh cleaned her from the floor. And also her legs from below. But did anyone go between the deck? What if her midsection is still in… the midsection?

          Best possible case: There’s some kind of emergency access/maintenance passageway.

          Worst case scenario: “They’ll get the smell out next retrofit.”

          Uh fuckin yikes o_o;

          I personally would have tried to leverage the transporter and holodeck technologies

          Just take her and the materials she merged with into the transport buffer, then load it into the holodeck to edit the snapshot, sort of like a surgery in frozen time, then try to flag the material that you can’t be sure is human and organic to be “out of phase”

          It won’t be recoverable instantly. At best, the telefragged flesh can be collected into a bioslurry that can be regrown into replacements that can be subsequently reattached.

          And, like, it looks like her critical organs are not telefragged at least…? Heart, lungs, brain, maybe liver and stomach at least partially?

          Maybe they have deck segments? They do take random damage not infrequently.
