Hope that is what you were thinking about.

I am dead. As of this moment, we are all dead. We go into battle to reclaim our lives. This we do gladly because we are Jem’Hadar. Remember, victory is life.

Chello!
FYI, the word "stat" is used more often than ASAP. From the Latin "statim" immediately.

And just for a little 'flavourful' confusion, throw in an Australian (or presumably Brit/Canadian) doctor or nurse who uses the version of 'stat' that we use 'down here'.
Rather than meaning 'immediately' in Australia, stat means 'once only, immediately'.
Thus, if someone is to have a single dose of penicillin whilst in surgery (that's 'theatre', too, not 'OR'
It took me a while to grasp the meaning of so many people saying "Stat!" all the time in shows like ER. I always assumed it was TV shows 'getting it wrong' (as they so often do with medical stuff) until I met some American colleagues (I'm a former theatre nurse) at a conference.
It used to put some funny images in my head..."Nurse! We need CPR on this patient, stat!"
"Sure, Doc!" *performs a single cardiac compression* "Want another one?"
Ah, the joys of English (or Latin, as the case may be!
When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It is difficult only for others.
It's the same when you are stupid...
