"Excuse me, Number One, but it seems there's been some transporter accident or other problem with the Captain's beam-down."
The whole bridge crew blanched save for the Vulcan in question as he touched the appropriate comm button on the command chair. "Saaroc here. Explain."
"There seems to be no trace of Human life signs anywhere in effective scanner radius of the beam-down point, and instead the comm badge seems affixed to a creature of approximate equivalent height and mass of the Captain, but is reading reptilian, sir. Two hearts, body temperature only 20 centigrade, hardly above ambient, apparently winged -- similar to other life signs indiginous to the population. What's worse, sir -- it hailed us using the badge and is squawking to us using an unknown language to the translation matrix!"
"I see," the Vulcan peaked his fingers together under his chin in thought. Then he pressed another comm button. "Sick bay, Medical Emergency."
"This is EMH. State the nature of your emergency."
"Apparent reconfiguration of lifeform genus from one species to another, completely - including language center of the brain. Analyze and confirm if specimen bears any true signs of transmogrification from known DNA sequence of Captain Squarehead. Establish all necessary contageon protocols and prepare to receive direct beam-up of subject from these co-ordinates."
"I'm an EMH, not a life sciences research experimentation facility."
"Proceed with all appropriate analyses you can perform under the circumstances, adapting and applying whatever additional protocols, research, subroutines, and data necessary to perform your duties."
"This will require considerable additional resources - 7.7 gigaquads of extra core, not to mention weeks of Mr. Jym's and your own personal holographic reprogramming knowledge..."
"Just make it so!"
*The lights on bridge flicker, as do those on the bridge consoles, then the transporter activates*

You shifty creature! This is why the currency standard is Gold-Pressed Latinum - for the biologically active agent in Latinum naturally does go dormant and dies in a standard Oxygen/Nitrogen atmosphere common to most humanoids after 24 hours or so. Only when suspended in an auric matrix, does biologic latinum agent retain a perfect and scannable, quantifiable count down to the last nanogram, which is why most lifeforms prefer it in trade. No slips or strips can be "shaved" off the transaction this way, whereas bits can be replicated easily from an energy matrix like replicators.
The moment someone attempts to Gold-Press replicated latinum without its valuable biologic agent present, it will lose cohesion and become so much inert salt - at which time I hope you're well away from your trader!
