Great find! I wasn't sure there was a shot featuring at least (precisely) 4 phasers.

Fun fact: I scrubbed through that whole fight and there is exactly 1 frame where only 4 beams are on screen, and it's the view screen of the Alito and not a very clear shot. The rest are ~~5~~ 4 beams or <=3

And in DS9 the big fleet actions only have only a few ships firing at a time. I didn't think the phaser effect cost that much, but presumably I was wrong about that.

Figured it could work for the meme.
