The coordinates given for Kirk to beam down were: 875-020-079.
These dropped him onto the fake Enterprise.

The coordinates for the Gideon council chamber were: 875-020-709.


And now for something completely different.

In "The Enemy Within", the transporter malfunction caused there to
be two different, yet identical Kirks.  Where did the transporter
get the mass to materialize this Kirk?  Did it only materialize
one half of the "Good Kirk", leaving the rest to form the "Bad Kirk",
in which case each  Kirk would only weigh half as much as the original?
Or did it perhaps tap into the warp engines to get the energy
(a whole lot!) to convert into matter?

The subject of transporters was run into the ground last spring.
PLEASE don't resurrect it again.  It was decided that the transporter
is the biggest Star Trek inconsistancy of them all.
