Today, I continued my replaying of the ST:TOS DVD's, viewing Series Two,
Disk 4 which included "The Gamesters of Triskelion" in which Kirk, Uhura
and Chekhov, whilst supposedly about to be transported to so Planet, get kidnapped and end up on Triskelion, where they are to be trained to
fight in the Roman-Colosseum-type games.

Meanwhile, back on the Enterprise, a search is being carried out, to no
avail. Spock then states that they have carried out a through search and
it was time to look elsewhere, to which Dr McCoy responds with a
question something like "Can people survive that long with-in the
Transporter (equipment/beam/whatever)??"

Scotty spend 75 years stuck in in a transporter buffer for the ST:TNG
Episode "Relics" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relics_%28Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation%29,
so was this an accident, a desperation measure or just a fluke that
worked, sort of, in Scotty's favour??

The exact quote from Crissie's:

MCCOY: It's been nearly an hour. Can people live that long as
disassembled atoms in a transporter beam?
SPOCK: I have never heard of a study being done, but it would be a fascinating project.

In the case of Scott, I think it was a measure of desperation, not an accident. Scotty was no stranger to transporters and he knew exactly
what he was doing. Only the patern of his friend, Franklin, was lost
because one of the inducers had failed.

Of course there was one time in TOS when people were kept longer in the buffer then strictly necessary. The trick the Enterpise crew pulled on Kang's landing party in 'Day of the Dove'.

Thanks for that, Wouter. Series Three, Ep Seven .... still to get there
.... this time around!!
