I don’t need Star Trek to “redeem” all of the shit that O’Brien went through, like have him get a huge happy ending or statues built in his honor or anything, but I would like it if at some point there was a future canon story where Molly or maybe one of her kids grows up to be a truly remarkable person and they credit Miles. Like “I never would have been the person I am today if my dad hadn’t worked as hard and loved me as much as he did.”
Miles never cared about promotions or glory, but by God people like him are what hold the Star Trek galaxy together.

If Jesus was a carpenter then O’Brian was a plumber.
The untold labor of responsible guys is what makes the worlds turn.
