*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE, KLINGON SCUM! ***

Although there are probably some inconsistencies in a few shows, I don't
think that this is one of them.  Consider this part of the scenario:
how did the androids get aboard the Enterprise in the first place??
Obviously, they had their own transporters! (or some equal device).
Remember, scientifically the androids were far superior to the federation.
They probably had lots of neat gadgets laying around!
