(KGT 107):  only a being of some sort can do something

TREK TRIVIA:

Energy-beings are quite popular in Trek.  E.g.

"Millions of years ago we [Organians] were humanoid like yourselves." (Ayelborne, TOS "Errand of Mercy")

"John Doe" was the first Zalkonian to complete the metamorphosis from humanoid to noncorporeal being of pure energy (TNG "Transfigurations")

Other energy beings are the Thassians (TOS "Charlie X"), Gothosians (TOS "The Squire of Gothos"), the Companion cloud-creature (TOS "Metamorphosis"), the Beta XII-A "hate-feeding" creature, and the Q Continuum (TNG passim). Might the Medusans (TOS "Is There In Truth No Beauty?") and the group of 10 non-corporeal Zetarians (TOS "The Lights of Zetar", also be considered energy beings?), Ian Andrew Troi (TNG "The Child"), Koinonians (TNG "The Bonding").
