Sisko could just beam the One Ring off of Frodo and into the depths of the lava pit in less than the amount of time it would take him to get a cup of raktajino from a replicator.

Zorro is the bridge between literary heroes like The Scarlet Pipernel - who did not wear a disguise but did use a nom de guerre - and aristocratic comic book heroes like Batman who do wear a cape and mask.
We should start a new thread to explore this because it's not on topic here.
Ahh...but What IF, while the One Ring is contained within the transporter buffer...it awakens the Defiant's Computer to true AI status? Does the Enterprise suddenly go, "My Precious!!!" and transport a fake ring into Mordor? Does is then fake all the sensor readings to show that Mordor collapses and Middle Earth continues on.
Then Sisko & Crew along with Defiant Gollum carry on their adventures the other tasks while the One Ring is conveniently wrapped around a deeply buried power conduit in the ships computer core...

This sorta makes me think of how Jr. Captain Lindewe or Sr. Lieutenant Kirika from my story Tintagel would handle it.
USS Defiant is 67-68 times more massive than LRS Hailee but far less advanced and powerful in every way but two: the Llyrians do not have replicators or transporters so they'd need to shuttle the One Ring and the fellowship to Mount Doom so Frodo can toss it into the lava.

See? That's why its important to beam Frodo with the ring into Mount Doom. That way he bears the brunt of the burden and temptation of the One Ring and, hopefully, the Defiant computer can resist long enough to rematerialize the hobbit into molten lava. xD
@Sailor.X So how are avatars that represent a whole organization, especially one that is political and has massive resources? My avatar is the symbol of the Great House Hlaalu... so would that mean that the entire organization is transported? And if so when...
Because, one entire TES organization can be a massive force multiplier, especially if they can access some of the higher tier personages in the setting.

It is all of the named members in this mission. So if the NPC has a name it is part of the mission. And as stated before you have a base of operations to work from in each mission.
Well, there are multiple games from which to draw on. So there should be plenty of members who can accomplish goals, especially sneaky ones. They also, have Helseth with them, and he is one of the sneakiest bastards to ever bastard...

You also have access to the Lusty Argonian book. Having any enemy read that will melt their brains.Well, there are multiple games from which to draw on.

I'm feeling a touch smug at the moment. Those poor, poor, Cylons.

Why would you assume that would happen?
After the M-5 incident I'd think that the Federation would go out of its way to prevent its shipboard computers from going rogue or developing sentience.
If nothing else because they don't want to "enslave" sentient beings.

When it comes to the One Ring, I think the Emperor would essentially crush it in the palm of his hand. Either that or go on a gentle stroll into Mordor himself to drop it off in the Crack of Doom.

1. Probably goes badly, considerng Shoto's basically socially inept.
2. Nazgul have a very bad time. Fire wielder + Nazgul's fear of fire... yeah. Other than that, though, I don't think much changes. In fact, if Sauron can sense powerful magic, then Fellowship might well be better off without Shoto joining them.
3.-7. No clue, as I have little to no knowledge of these universes.

For scenarios 1 through 3 I'm pretty sure a refitted Haylcon class light cruiser with full crew and at least 1 Smart AI can do the job. For the other ones don't know enough about the settings to make the call

And here I thought you were either the cover of John Ringo's book that predicted a version of COVID with Shillary as president or some rando Caesar groupie from FO:NV.
Nah the armor looks to good to be FO:NV and idk what that first one is.
Nope just found a badass picture of Mars on google
The issue is that the 'beaming' is not from Point A (Frodo's Location) straight to Point B (Mount Doom). Whatever a ship transports must pass through its transporter buffers before getting to its destination. That's where the trouble happens!
Because it's the One Ring. And because it's funny!
