I think that that quote of Scotty saying something about the fact that if the people (or anything) being transported were really being converted to energy, the ship would be blown up was from the novel "Spock Must Die", by James Blish, who wrote the Star Trek - Star Trek 12 series of books of (somewhat changed versions of) the different Star Trek episodes. This book was about a situation in which the transporter created a 'duplicate' of Mr. Spock. Nathan Glasser ..genrad!mit-eddie!nathan ..decvax!yale-comix!nglasser
