A list of puns related to "Pip Squeak"
Chief O'Brien's rank pips appear inconsistent or even random across various episodes/series, but I theorize there is a deeper meaning to them than is seen at first glance.
I posit that the pip configurations when taken as a whole may be a subtle cry for help by O'Brien, using Morse code or its 24th century equivalent. We as an audience only see a brief glimpse of this pathetic signaling attempt during episodes where O'Brien appears, but we can surmise the content of the messages would be similar the the following:
WHY MUST I SUFFER?
WHERE IS MOLLY?
WHAT IS RIKER DOING IN MY QUARTERS AGAIN?
etc.
