Does it worry anyone else that someone from a spaceship can beam directly to the operations centre on DS9?

I accept it is an exploding ship, so it is an emergency, but the operations centre is the heart of DS9 and should be a secure section. Also shouldn't emergency beam-ins be directed to somewhere like the infirmary?

It gets weirder -- in "Rules of Acquisition" (I think it is), Zek's servant walks straight into Ops to give Kira a present.

The servant of a visiting Ambassador (of sorts) has direct access to the command and control centre of the entire station? That doesn't seem..... odd to anyone else?

Don't Keiko and Molly come up to ops at points as well?

[–] GabrielBell12fi 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So far (just based on my memories and re-watch) they've been transported there by Rumplestiltskin (I kid you not) and sometimes visit with Miles (in his company). I can't remember if they just turn up.

But at least they are -- arguably -- station personnel. Keiko is a teacher/botanist and Molly is...... okay, she's a kid, but she's Miles' daughter as opposed to a random stranger who probably shouldn't be there (if that makes sense?).

I do remember Rumplestiltskin! That was a weird one.

Yeah they do have slightly more excuse I guess, there was no excuse to beam them directly to ops. Was Odo there? I doubt he'd have let it happen lol
