Muñiz only gets worse, and as Dax tries to comfort O’Brien, Worf interrupts and gives voice to what they all know: “He will not see tomorrow.” He urges O’Brien tell Muñiz what’s coming so the crewman can “prepare for death.”
For the first time—in spite of O’Brien and Worf appearing both in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine—things between these two get ugly. Miles ends up nose-to-nose with the Klingon, telling him no one is allowed to give up on Muñiz.
Later, after Muñiz continues to not only bleed out but to hallucinate, Worf says of the crewman’s condition, “That is no way for anyone to die.” He seems like he’s actually trying to be empathetic with O’Brien, but it doesn’t have the desired result.
When Worf suggests what he might do as a Klingon—a mercy-killing to end Muñiz’s pain and restore his honor—something in O’Brien snaps.
“I’m not some bloodthirsty Klingon looking for an excuse to murder my friend.”
Things get physical, with O’Brien taking an ill-advised swing at Worf, and Sisko eventually stepping in to break things up.
