Cadets! This axiom may one day save your life: Phase first, ask questions later.

Is it an impostor? A clone or a hologram? Is it a chair or is it Odo? Too many questions! Now you're on your way to being composted into Ketracel.

Phase first, cadet! Phase like Tendi scans. Do not hesitate to phase out the answers to your questions. If a visiting Klingon does not remark, "There seem to be a lot of phaser scars on this station" you have not been phasing appropriately!

Do not wait for them to escape into a jefferies tube or Engineering. Phase them!

We have stun settings for a reason, people! Phase each other, play tag. But for Koala's sake, do not hesitate to fire. Our lives depend upon your itchy trigger fingers.

counterpoint: the closeups are meant to be seen as simultaneous, it's a sort of psuedo slo-mo so you can see each character's reaction in a fast situation.

I swear to Kahless you are watching DS9 at the exact same pace as I am. Every time I see a watch an episode I see a meme from you the next day from it. It's crazy!

But you don't know who's the changling. He could be pretending to be a locked up Bashir to get them to shoot the real one. (Were they on stun settings? Would that work?)

LOL, thank you so much, that has always bothered me.
