Return to Question

E18, S4: Rules of engagement

I use the part with Quark from chakoteya transcript to expose my doubts.

[Quark's]

QUARK (to camera): It was about seventeen hundred hours. I was doing some cleanup work. Doctor Bashir was at the bar talking to Etheria, one of the dabo girls.

BASHIR: Have you ever seen the wormhole open?

QUARK: No, wait. It wasn't Etheria. It was Glidia.

BASHIR: Have you ever seen the wormhole open?

QUARK: Or was it Midia?

CH'POK [OC]: Mister Quark, is this necessary?

QUARK: No, no, no. It was Ralidia and she was with Morn. And he was the one who turned to her and said

[Wardroom]

CH'POK: Can we return to the matter at hand, please?

QUARK: Oh, right. Well, as I said, I was cleaning up and I saw Mister Worf come in.

[Quark's]

CH'POK [OC]: Was there anything unusual about that?

QUARK: No, he comes in here all the time. But he was in a good mood.

CH'POK [OC]: And that's unusual?

The same holds true for the previous part with Dax, and the following with Chief O'Brien.

It seems there is one Quark in the wardroom, and another in a holographic room.

I don't understand:

1. The reason for this: They may simply answer the question and reconstruct verbally the dynamics of events.

2. How is it possible to address Quark in the holographic recording, while he is currently present in the wardroom?

3. What does the OC acronym that sometimes appears next to a character's name in the script mean?
