 CONT: Immediately after Captain Pike is abducted by the Talosians,  remaining crew members fire at what they believe at the time is the  door to the elevator which appeared to be the form of transport used  to take the Captain. They fire three phaser barrages at the "door,"  and in all three cases the exact same thing happens: particles of  the portal are blasted out, and the entryway is damaged but in  perfectly identical fashion.
