Please do not buffer me, Transporter Chief
My mind is torture, unceasing grief
I do not want to be suspended
I’d rather be directly ended
Transmute me into an alien race
Or transport me to empty space
Anything really, so long as it’s brief
I beg of you, Transporter Chief

The Rapture had a whole new meaning

O’Brien is just building a big enough buffer for the righteous to all be beamed up together.
