Before I build a deck with Transporter Mixup at the heart, I want to double check that my moves don't violate any of the prohibitions against moves that can't be made voluntarily.
The question: does a the "beam up" involved in the transporter mix-up have to be valid when it begins, or does it only need to be valid when it ends? My views is that only the end-result matters.
Imagine you are beaming up Vic Fontaine from a planet with Holo-Projectors to a ship with no holodeck, but you "mixup" so that the non-holographic Fontaine completes the beam up.
Or that you have a Emblem of the Alliance in play, a ship in orbit, Worf is beaming up but is being mixed up so that Regent Worf completes the beam up.
I think this is OK, as there is never any invalid move. Indeed, the only way to interfere with Transporter Mixup is computer crash. My understanding is that the beam up would be aborted, and Transporter Mixup would not discard.
