Miles Obryan looking down at the console: Ok good, teleportation complete, noooow to destroy the original.
Sometimes when nobody's around, he'll let them out and do it the old fashioned way. "What's the difference?" he asks himself.
...as he removes the surgical gloves.
DS9 meets Dexter - you know it's gonna happen someday.
ETA: maybe a show following Kira, Garak, and Dukat during the war would be interesting.
That would kind of explain what those teleport engineers are doing all day in the transporter room. According to stardates, they kind of transport like 3 people every month or so, but always be chilling at the ready in the transporter room.
Now if they always have to dispose of the bodies in the meantime, maybe they have holographic therapy in between all the time.
This is possibly the scariest take on teleportation I can imagine. You get in the chamber, the button is pressed, the operator nods and confirms it's complete.
Only then do you realise that a perfect replica of you, down to the molecule, has just been created somewhere else. You realise that you teleported to work the same morning, and shiver at the thought as the operator opens the nitrogen valves to the chamber to suffocate you. Your perfect replica is sitting down to dinner with the kids you remember raising but only now realise you never actually met. Your last thought before slipping into darkness is that no one can be warned, since your memories were copied the instant before the teleportation took place.

"As we pursue technological advancement we should be careful not to abandon our humanity in the process."
A surprisingly relevant line for modern day.
