Transporter

"Captain's log, star date 41 463.12. With a political crisis emerging on Federation planet Baranon VI, I've dispatched Commander Riker, Lieutenant Worf and Counselor Troi to the planet to act as mediators between the parties."

Miles O'Brien stood at the control panel of the transporter room as Riker, Worf and Troi arrived and positioned themselves on the transporter deck,

"I've noted some adverse energy patterns in the planet's stratosphere," O'Brien warned, but with confidence, "it shouldn't be a problem as long as I maintain a repeating scan of your molecular structures as you beam down,"

"As long as you know what you're doing," Riker responded suspiciously, side-eying the transporter chief,

"I sense no concern from the transporter chief, Will," Deanna reassured the commander, "you can trust he knows what he's doing,

"Very well then," Riker trusted Deanna, even if he was still wary of the newly promoted Chief O'Brien, "Energise!"

O'Brien began the energising process, preparing the three crew member's destination on the planet and creating a pathway for their particle structures to transport through. Once done, he watched as Riker, Worf and Troi began to sparkle and gleam with light energy. Except...he began to notice a slight error in the transporter coordinates. Riker and Worf were fully covered by the energising energy, but Deanna Troi was only partially covered,

It was too late to change things now, but O'Brien had to find a way! He signal-boosted the energy patterns surrounding Councillor Troi, trying to maintain control of her transport. Even a single molecule wrong and he could end up tearing her apart! O'Brien felt sweat appear on his forehead because now it was too late! Riker and Worf disappeared, and technically so did Troi...

...Except her clothes still remained in position from where she'd been standing. As the energising ceased, they flopped unceremoniously to the floor,

"Uh oh, " O'Brien whispered with his face turning bright red. An alert communication sounded from the planet below. It was Commander Riker,

"Chief O'Brien! What's going on here? Where is Councillor Troi?"

"You mean she's not with you?" the flustered O'Brien replied,

"No, only Lieutenant Worf and I have arrived!"

"I'm doing a bio-sweep of your location now," O'Brien exclaimed as he tapped on the console. After receiving some strange results, "I don't understand!"

"What's wrong?!"

"The transport records show that Councillor Troi initially arrived with you, but as soon as she touched the planet, she disappeared!"

"What does this mean?"

"My only working theory at the moment is that someone intercepted her transmission and energised her somewhere else!"
