I’ve been holding out hope that during his tenure at the Academy (into the 25th century), that he’d made headmaster and get trapped/forced into a golum or photonic body. The suffering possibilities are endless.
His consciousness is uploaded after death into a torture simulation by a curious computer with emerging sentience for several hundred years a la I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream; when the computer finally learns its lesson and builds a new body for O’Brien’s backup consciousness, he just gets right back to work, centuries of technological progress be darned.
The series practically writes itself.
