    O’Brian beams back five corpses

    “Oh… I‘ll just duplicate their latest copy from the buffer and integrate the memories from the dead ones’ brains.”

    Picard: “Chief, your timing couldn’t have been more perfect. I was convinced I’d been shot.”

    O’Brian: “Just doing my job, Sir.”

      This is why I would suffer from crippling transporter anxiety like Barkley. Every time you get transported, you essentially die and replaced with a copy of yourself. Would you notice? Probably not. But the tought of it would give me nightmares.
