I’d concocted a long-form concept wherein O’Brien’s penchant for buffering was for the sake of saving everyone from some galaxy wide catastrophe. He’d use a subspace channel to remotely activate any and all transporter buffers to house all nearby people.
It was a fun thought experiment, but without any meaningful comedic payoff. Had to let that one go.
Is O’Brien is faking transporter mishaps so he can sacrifice them to the void and keep the writhing eldritch horrors from swallowing the galaxy? I want to say yes.

I’ve pondered an O’Brien and Ghostbusters mashup with the Ghost trap being a Transporter buffer. Not sure what to do with it either.
