Who's side would Worf and be on?

Jod

Ensign
Red Shirt
Okay, here goes...


The year is 2378, the U.S.S. Defiant and the U.S.S. Enterprise-E both make a stop at Starbase 375 at the save time.

So you have the Enterprise crew and the Defiant crew all sitting together in the Starbases bar.

We know that Sisko has never forgiven Picard for his part in Jennifer's death, a fight breaks out between the two crews.

Who's side would Worf choose?

Sisko got over that by the end of Emissary. That's why he was able to shake Picard's hand and accept his new assignment on DS9.

But assuming some sort of conflict did break out between the two crews, Worf would probably work to diffuse the situation. He'd be pretty torn as far as loyalty went.

Sisko forgave Picard for Jennifer's death at the end of "Emissary, Part II."
 
No. No fight would occur unless there's some kind of alien influence or a contagion. Even then, Worf would be affected in some way. And it probably would have nothing to do with Sisko and Picard. Also, how about Miles O'Brien?
 
Worf is a former security officer turned diplomat.

He'd probably try to break up the fight.

That's the kind of thing good security officers and good diplomats do.
 
I think he would start swinging at all the people he doesn't like, regardless of which crew they are on.

So, pretty much... Bashir is toast, haha.

Yeah, and don't forget Quark. He'd better run for his life.
 
Humor the man, fellas.

Picard is a master diplomat but he's not perfect. If Sisko is attacking him on Wolf 359 and not backing down, Picard will, after exhausting all other options, turn the other cheek and walk away. Sisko isn't being reasonable - the man was assimilated by the Borg. Worf will stay out of it. He knows Picard is in the right, but he does not want to embarrass his current superior and friend.

But Picard is not perfect, and in the interests of getting us to where the intent of the original question wants us to get, say Sisko doesn't accept Picard's walking away and decides to force a confrontation. ...He's a formidable man, he can make it happen, and say on this drunken, non-synthaholic, night after a long, mind-fucking, mission and the anniversary of his wife's death, he really lays into Picard, who himself, drunk and back from such a mission and on the anniversary of his greatest tragedy, he takes the bait.

Besides, the occasional fight is good for the soul.

But for whatever reason, Worf now needs to take a side. He can't smash their heads together for acting like such asses...say due to injuries sustained from his last mission. And say Picard and Sisko don't know they're putting a friend and subordinate in an unfair situation. And say the whole argument has been witnessed by a cadre of hard-liner Klingon generals who Worf needs to win over and won't accept a peaceful solution, nor give a shit about how at fault Picard was for his actions as Locutus. Worf simply needs to pick a side to prove to them that a Klingon can choose a course of action, even a wrong one that leads to his damnation, after working with the Federation for so long, because, to them, damnation is preferable to indecision. They're both Klingon and meatheads - that's how they roll.

So choose, Worf.

I say he sides with Picard. He owes his life to both men, but though his professional loyalty is owed to Sisko, this is both an unprofessional situation and Sisko is in the wrong for blaming Picard for his actions while assimilated. Sisko is a reasonable man; come tomorrow morning, he'll see the err of his ways. And the meatheads will continue to support Gowron or Martok in battling the Dominion.

Let's make things worse for ourselves. Say the disagreement wasn't about Wolf 359, Locutus, and Jennifer, or anything clear or logical. Or that despite there always being other options, again here Worf is going to choose one man over the other purely out of loyalty, because that's the question, right, who Worf is more loyal to - not how he would handle a sticky situation...I haven't given him enough credit...Picard may be a master diplomat and Sisko a Starfleet captain in his own right, but Worf too could figure some way of reminding the other parties what asses they're being. Everything's really only about asking who Worf's more loyal to.

Worf would choose Sisko because he's his current superior and he's erring on the side of maintaining good blood with his superior officer and architect of a war.

That too is a copout.

...He'd choose...um...uh...er...see the thing is...ah...mmmm...uh...Picard. He's friends with both men, but Picard was also a mentor during his formative years as an officer. Plus he later returned to serving with him...though I think that's stupid, and he should have remained an ambassador or continued his Horatio Hornblower rise up the ranks.
 
He would choose Picard, if for no other reason than this:

Sisko + Worf could disassemble Picard in very short order, its not very sporting and just no fun for Worf. He would definitely rather test his mettle against Sisko.

Besides: "If you were any other man I would kill you where you stand"... Sisko is another man :D
 
Jean-Luc Picard stood as his right-hand-man on the Klingon homeworld. He worked with Worf to clear his family's name. It's all about honor, and none are more honorable than the Captain of the Enterprise.

Sisko's his work buddy and boss. But, Picard's family... :techman:
 
No. No fight would occur unless there's some kind of alien influence or a contagion. Even then, Worf would be affected in some way. And it probably would have nothing to do with Sisko and Picard. Also, how about Miles O'Brien?
Are you kidding we have seen the hidden face of Starfleet. Crewmen will gang up on a single civilian. Why wouldn't two different crews mix it up if Quark served the real stuff?
