Does it worry anyone else that someone from a spaceship can beam directly to the operations centre on DS9?

I accept it is an exploding ship, so it is an emergency, but the operations centre is the heart of DS9 and should be a secure section. Also shouldn’t emergency beam-ins be directed to somewhere like the infirmary?

    Don’t Keiko and Molly come up to ops at points as well?

      So far (just based on my memories and re-watch) they’ve been transported there by Rumplestiltskin (I kid you not) and sometimes visit with Miles (in his company). I can’t remember if they just turn up.

      But at least they are – arguably – station personnel. Keiko is a teacher/botanist and Molly is… okay, she’s a kid, but she’s Miles’ daughter as opposed to a random stranger who probably shouldn’t be there (if that makes sense?).

        I do remember Rumplestiltskin! That was a weird one.

        Yeah they do have slightly more excuse I guess, there was no excuse to beam them directly to ops. Was Odo there? I doubt he’d have let it happen lol
