As an old, grizzled sysadmin who still deals with physical infrastructure and legacy systems, I can totally relate to this. I also like to think that all of O’Brien’s hacks that save the day in DS9 were made possible by Ro Laren showing him the way.

My favorite kind of character. Competent, unconcerned with military bravado or intellectual superiority, and always knows what amount of fuckery he can get away with. It’s why I liked Sgt Siler and Zelenka in Stargate.
Zelenka is awesome
His love of combat rations and Sisko’s hate of them says it all.
