Commander Worf ( Michael Dorn ) monitor the Klingons , who are also necessitate leave of absence at Space Station K-7 . Their waitress ( Leslie Ackerman ) confirms thatthe swarthy , bland - headed visitors carouse across the room are Klingons , and all 24th - 100 eyes grow to Worf , demanding an explanation .

“Tell Me, Do They Still Sing Songs Of The Great Tribble Hunt?”

According to Worf , the Klingon Empire went to war with their arch enemies , the Tribbles , after Scotty ( James Doohan ) shine the remain Tribbles aboard the Klingon patrol car inStar Trek : The Original Series'“The Trouble With Tribbles " . Odo find oneself it hard to believe that the most feared warrior raceway in the galaxy would vow payback upon the cute , cuddly creature and mocks Worf ’s title , but there ’s a good reason thatKlingons hate Tribbles .
