Muñiz solely will get worse, and as Dax tries to consolation O’Brien, Worf interrupts and provides voice to what all of them know: “He is not going to see tomorrow.” He urges O’Brien inform Muñiz what’s coming so the crewman can “put together for demise.”
For the primary time—despite O’Brien and Worf showing each in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Area 9—issues between these two get ugly. Miles finally ends up nose-to-nose with the Klingon, telling him nobody is allowed to surrender on Muñiz.
Later, after Muñiz continues to not solely bleed out however to hallucinate, Worf says of the crewman’s situation, “That’s no manner for anybody to die.” He looks as if he’s truly attempting to be empathetic with O’Brien, however it doesn’t have the specified outcome.
When Worf suggests what he may do as a Klingon—a mercy-killing to finish Muñiz’s ache and restore his honor—one thing in O’Brien snaps.
“I’m not some bloodthirsty Klingon on the lookout for an excuse to homicide my good friend.”
Issues get bodily, with O’Brien taking an ill-advised swing at Worf, and Sisko ultimately stepping in to interrupt issues up.
