But they reacted only when he changed, which makes sense

Just point the weapon at the one who’s not already confined.

Sisko went from unsure to sure real quick. Ex freedom fighter gunslinger lady was day dreaming.

Finally. His chance.

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?)

At least aiming their phasers while they were unsure would have given them a chance to react once the changeling transformed.

I mean, rule #1 of firearm safety is not to point the loud end at something you don’t want to kill, certainly not a colleague… not sure what they teach on day one of Phaser School but I suspect it’s not too far off!

I bet the first thing they teach you is to set the phasers to stun

Certainly not the fucking medic.

Of course, but when you don’t know who is a deadly foe, there’s a bit more subtlety than having to be defenseless because you aren’t certain. The risks can never be reduced to zero, and the safety of you and your team can’t be ignored.

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.

Sir, what if it’s Captain Sisko? Do I still phase first? I don’t really want to have to answer his questions afterwards, I’ve heard what happens.

Garak voice: Especially the Sisko.

They’re his orders in the first place.

Sorry, I literally tried everything to get this to work properly. My 1.8mb mp4 was inflated by giphy to 14mb. Too bad we can’t just use imgur links.
