| Sisko: | Captain's log, Stardate 51145.3. The Defiant has been operating out of Starbase 375 conducting forays into Dominion controlled space. |
| While the missions have taken a toll on my people they remain determined to do whatever it takes to win this war as do I. |
| Nog: | Here you are. |
| Sisko: | How did you get your hands on Saurian brandy? |
| Bashir: | In the middle of a war, no less. |
| Nog: | It's a busy starbase. |
| I may be a cadet, but I'm still a Ferengi. |
| Dax: | Lucky for us. |
| O'Brien: | Excuse me, Captain. |
| The power cell from the phaser array. |
| We used it up in the last mission. |
| Sisko: | Take a good look at this, people. |
| It says something about this ship. |
| It says that we will fight and we will keep on fighting until we can't fight anymore. |
| All: | Yes, sir. |
| Sisko: | You don't just throw something like this away. |
| All: | No, sir. |
| Nog: | Admiral on deck. |
| Ross: | As you were. |
| Ben. |
| Sisko: | Admiral. |
| Ross: | Um, let's, uh, take a walk. |
| --- |
| Ross: | What was going on in there? |
| Sisko: | Just a little ritual we fell into. |
| It kind of helps the crew unwind. |
| Ross: | Well, they deserve it. |
| They did a hell of a job. |
| Sisko: | Thank you, sir. |
| But you didn't come here to tell me that, did you? |
| Ross: | No, I didn't. |
| Ever since this war began, the Dominion's been able to outmaneuver us at every turn. |
| Wherever we send our ships they seem to be there waiting for us. |
| Sisko: | I've noticed that. |
| Ross: | It was enough to make you think that they were smarter than we are. |
| But they're not. |
| They just had an edge that we didn't know anything about... until yesterday. |
| Starfleet Intelligence has located a massive sensor array hidden on the periphery of the Argolis Cluster. |
| The damn thing's capable of monitoring ship movements over five sectors. |
| Sisko: | That's how they managed to stay one step ahead of us. |
| Ross: | They've had an enormous tactical advantage. |
| I want you to take it away from them. |
| Sisko: | Gladly, sir. |
| Ross: | It won't be easy. |
| The array is heavily defended. |
| This is the Intelligence report. |
| Look it over. |
| I want an attack plan on my desk by 0800. |
| Sisko: | You'll have it. |
| --- |
| Rom: | There he is. |
| Kira: | Damar's a creature of habit, all right. |
| After a hard day of work, he deserves his glass of kanar. |
| Damar: | Kanar. |
| Kira: | Why are the Jem'Hadar always in here? |
| He asks himself. |
| They don't drink. |
| They don't eat. |
| They don't gamble. |
| All they do is take up space. |
| Damar asks his bartender if he found a padd he was working on the other day. |
| Rom: | My brother tells the truth. |
| He hasn't seen it. |
| Kira: | Damar doesn't like that. |
| The padd contained a draft copy of a secret memorandum he was working on concerning the shortage of white. |
| In it, he speculates that, without the drug the Jem'Hadar are going to run amok killing everyone and everything in their path. |
| Damar recommends that if the Cardassians can't bring down the minefield and re-open the supply-line from the Gamma Quadrant they should poison the last ration of white eliminating the Jem'Hadar before it's too late. |
| How did you get ahold of Damar's padd anyway? |
| Rom: | Um, I'm good with my hands. |
| Here we go. |
| They've seen him. |
| Jem'Hadar: | Damar. |
| Kira: | The missing padd. |
| Damar: | Where'd you find that? |
| Where did you get it?! |
| Kira: | Damar accuses them of stealing it. |
| Rom: | But they say they found it outside their quarters... right where I left it. |
| Damar: | I can have you and your whole race thrown off this station! |
| Kira: | I knew this was going to work. |
| Cardassians and the Jem'Hadar can pretend to be allies... |
| Damar: | This is not your affair! |
| Kira: | But they hate each other. |
| Damar: | Get out of my way! |
| Rom: | Ow. |
| Damar: | They stole a classified contingency memo and when I confronted them, they attacked me. |
| Dukat: | I don't care what they did. |
| You should never have let this situation get out of hand. |
| Get out! |
| Weyoun: | How could Damar be so stupid as to leave such an inflammatory document lying around for anyone to find? |
| Dukat: | Your men stole it from him. |
| Weyoun: | Jem'Hadar are not thieves. |
| Dukat: | And Damar is not a liar. |
| Weyoun: | Keep your voice down. |
| Our men need to see that we're still allies. |
| Smile. |
| Weyoun: | Dukat. |
| Dukat: | I'm smiling. |
| Odo: | Gentlemen, I suggest we get everyone out of here as soon as possible. |
| Weyoun: | Odo's right. |
| Tell your men they're confined to quarters pending disciplinary hearings. |
| I'll do the same. |
| And keep smiling. |
| Dukat: | Follow me. |
| --- |
| Sisko: | According to Intelligence the array is capable of detecting cloaked ships as far as two light years away. |
| By the time the Defiant goes around the Argolis Cluster the Dominion will already know we're coming. |
| Ross: | You'll have Jem'Hadar ships on you before you can get close. |
| Sisko: | We need the element of surprise on our side. |
| It's the only way. |
| Ross: | What are you suggesting? |
| Sisko: | That I take the Defiant through the Argolis. |
| Ross: | You can't get a ship through there. |
| You'll be cut to pieces by the gravimetric shear. |
| Sisko: | That's exactly what the Dominion thinks. |
| But if we come at them from the Argolis they won't know what hit them. |
| Ross: | What makes you think you can get through? |
| Sisko: | Dax says she can navigate around the gravimetric distortions. |
| She's studied protostar clusters. |
| She knows what to look for. |
| It's a gamble but it's one I'm willing to take. |
| Ross: | All right. |
| Let's give it a shot. |
| When can you leave? |
| Sisko: | As soon as we finish repairs on the Defiant. |
| Ross: | Keep me posted, Captain. |
| --- |
| Kira: | You wanted to see me. |
| Odo: | Well? |
| Don't you have something to say to me? |
| Kira: | About what happened at Quark's? |
| Odo: | Yeah. |
| Kira: | It worked better than I expected. |
| Odo: | I knew you were behind it! |
| Kira: | Of course you did. |
| We discussed it at our last resistance meeting. |
| Odo: | And I said it was a bad idea. |
| Kira: | Yes, you did. |
| And then you walked out of the room like there was nothing left to say. |
| But Rom and Jake stayed and we discussed it, and you know what? |
| I decided it was a good idea. |
| Odo: | So you went ahead and did it behind my back? |
| Kira: | Why are you taking this so personally? |
| Odo: | How do you expect me to take it? |
| I spend my days sitting on the council with Dukat and Weyoun doing whatever I can to make sure that Bajor survives this war intact. |
| The last thing I need is to have you running around causing mayhem. |
| Do you have any idea what Dukat would do if he found out you were behind it?! |
| It's all the excuse he would need to throw every Bajoran off this station. |
| Kira: | The Federation is losing this war. |
| We can't sit by and do nothing. |
| Odo: | There are limits to what we can do. |
| Kira: | I'm beginning to think you shouldn't be sitting on that council. |
| It's as if you've gotten so invested in making sure the station runs smoothly you've forgotten there's a war on. |
| Odo: | Are you questioning my loyalties, Major? |
| Kira: | I need you, Odo. |
| The resistance needs you. |
| Odo: | Answer me! |
| Are you questioning my loyalties? |
| Kira: | Oh, of course not. |
| That's not what this is about. |
| Female Changeling: | Hello, Odo. |
| It's good to see you again. |
| Leave us. |
| I need to speak with Odo. |
| Kira: | Do you? |
| Odo: | It's all right, Nerys. |
| I may as well hear what she has to say. |
| Kira: | Are you sure? |
| Female Changeling: | You called her "Nerys." |
| Odo: | What of it? |
| Female Changeling: | Well, you used to call her "Major." |
| Using the name of a solid denotes intimacy. |
| Odo: | You're a long way from home. |
| Here to keep an eye on the war effort? |
| Female Changeling: | I'm content to leave the details of the war to the Vorta. |
| Odo: | Then what brings you to Deep Space Nine? |
| Female Changeling: | You. |
| I was trapped in the Alpha Quadrant when Captain Sisko mined the entrance to the wormhole. |
| I have spent too much time with solids. |
| I came because I felt the need to be with one of my own. |
| Odo: | Ah. |
| Well, that's ironic considering what happened the last time we crossed paths. |
| Female Changeling: | You caused the death of a fellow changeling, Odo. |
| Turning you into a solid was the only punishment severe enough for your crime. |
| Odo: | And now that I'm a changeling again you come here as though nothing ever happened? |
| Female Changeling: | We have forgiven you. |
| Odo: | Well, I haven't forgiven you. |
| Female Changeling: | It is time to put the past behind us, Odo. |
| Odo: | And what about the present? |
| You're waging a war against my home. |
| Female Changeling: | This is not your home. |
| You belong with your own kind as part of the Great Link. |
| Odo: | I'm quite content here, thank you. |
| Female Changeling: | You say that because you don't know what you're capable of becoming. |
| Perhaps if we spent some time together you might begin to understand. |
| --- |
| Sisko: | Admiral, you wanted to see me? |
| Ross: | I just got word. |
| Captain Bennet's promotion has come through. |
| At my recommendation Starfleet's putting her in charge of Seventh Tactical Wing. |
| She was one of the best adjutants I've ever had-- a strong grasp of strategy and ability to see the big picture. |
| Sisko: | It sounds like it's not going to be easy to find someone to take her place. |
| Ross: | I already have. You. |
| Sisko: | Sir? |
| Ross: | I've been very impressed with you over these past few weeks. |
| I think we would make a good team. |
| Sisko: | Thank you, sir. |
| Ross: | Your new assignment is effective immediately. |
| Sisko: | Immediately, sir? |
| What about the Argolis mission? |
| Ross: | Commander Dax will captain the Defiant. |
| She's up to it, isn't she? |
| Sisko: | Oh, absolutely, sir. |
| I guess I'd just gotten used to the idea of commanding the mission myself. |
| Ross: | Look over these tactical reports. |
| I want your thoughts on the Bolian operation. |
| We'll meet here at 0600. |
| Ben... congratulations. |
| --- |
| Dukat: | Legate Krim will be arriving in the morning. |
| Odo: | I'll have a security detail escort him to your office. |
| Well, if that's all.... |
| Weyoun: | Founder, you honor us with your presence. |
| Female Changeling: | I understand the war is going well. |
| Weyoun: | Only because I've followed the plan the Founders laid out for me. |
| Dukat: | Welcome to Terok Nor. |
| I'm glad we're finally getting a chance to meet. |
| As leaders of our respective worlds you and I will be taking our people into a future that I'm quite confidant... |
| Female Changeling: | What about the minefield? |
| Why hasn't it been deactivated? |
| Weyoun: | Yes, Dukat. |
| This delay is intolerable. |
| There are thousands of Jem'Hadar ships stranded on the other side of the wormhole waiting to come through and join the war effort. |
| Dukat: | Maybe you haven't read the latest reports but even without those ships I'm still winning this war. |
| Weyoun: | You're winning? |
| I assure you I'm intimately involved in all military decisions. |
| Female Changeling: | See to it the minefield is brought down. |
| Weyoun: | Of course. |
| We've imposed our presence on you long enough. |
| Dukat: | If there's anything you need while you're here please, let me know. |
| Female Changeling: | Do they always compete with one another like that? |
| Odo: | As a matter of fact, they do. |
| Female Changeling: | You have to interact with them often. |
| Odo: | It must be trying for you. |
| It hasn't been easy. |
| Now, if you'll excuse me I have some work to do in my quarters. |
| Female Changeling: | May I walk with you? |
| --- |
| Odo: | To become a thing is to know a thing. |
| Female Changeling: | To assume its form is to begin to understand its existence. |
| Odo: | You tried to teach me that when I visited our homeworld. |
| Female Changeling: | Hmm... I remember. |
| Odo: | I didn't understand what you meant by it at first. |
| So when I returned to the station I got rid of all the furniture I used to have in my quarters and replaced itwith these objects. |
| I've assumed every shape in this room. |
| I suppose if it weren't for you i never would have known the simple pleasure of spending time existing as a stone or a branch. |
| Female Changeling: | I'm glad you learned something from your visit. |
| Your arrival was a time of great joy for the link and your departure, a time of great sadness. |
| If only you had stayed with us, Odo.... |
| Odo: | I couldn't. |
| Female Changeling: | You chose the solids. |
| Odo: | And I haven't regretted it. |
| Female Changeling: | Not even a little? |
| Odo: | I do think about the link from time to time. |
| Female Changeling: | It's there for you. |
| Odo: | I can't. |
| Female Changeling: | Why? |
| Because of Kira? |
| You still have feelings for her, don't you? |
| But she doesn't share them. |
| I'm sorry. |
| Odo: | Aren't you going to tell me I shouldn't waste my time with a solid? |
| Female Changeling: | You love her. |
| Odo: | I wish I didn't. |
| I'm so vulnerable to her. |
| All she has to do is smile at me and I'm happy beyond reason. |
| A minor disagreement between us and I'm devastated. |
| It's absurd. |
| Sometimes, I wish I could reach inside myself and tear out my feelings for her. |
| But I can't. |
| Female Changeling: | Poor Odo. |
| Odo: | I don't want your pity. |
| Female Changeling: | I am not offering pity. |
| What I need is some peace. |
| What you need is clarity. |
| I can give you that. |
| Do you want me to stop? |
| Kira: | What are you doing here, Damar? |
| Did Dukat demote you to security detail? |
| Damar: | What can I do for you, Major? |
| Kira: | I'm looking for Odo. |
| Damar: | Well, he's not here. |
| Kira: | Do you know where he is? |
| Damar: | Yes. |
| Kira: | That's good. |
| It's good to know where your boss is. |
| Damar: | He's in his quarters with the other shapeshifter. |
| Jealous, Major? |
| Kira: | Try to stay out of trouble, Damar. |
| You don't want to end up on sanitation duty. |
| --- |
| Odo: | Come in. |
| Kira: | Odo? |
| Odo: | Nerys. |
| Kira: | I dropped by your office and Damar told me you were here with her. |
| Odo: | She was here, but she's gone now. |
| Kira: | Are you all right? |
| Odo: | What did she want? |
| She didn't want anything. |
| Kira: | Then what was she doing here? |
| Odo: | I know how you feel about her, Major, but there's no reason to be concerned. |
| Kira: | You don't know how much I wish I could believe that. |
| You didn't link with her, did you? |
| Odo: | Actually, I did. |
| Kira: | You did? |
| What were you thinking? |
| Odo: | She didn't find out about the resistance if that's why you're worried. |
| Kira: | It's not. |
| Odo: | The link isn't about exchanging information. |
| It's about merging thought and form idea and sensation. |
| Kira: | Sounds like a perfect way to manipulate someone. |
| Odo: | She's not manipulating me. |
| Kira: | Ever since the day you two crossed paths she has lied to you, tricked you stood in judgment of you. |
| I don't trust her. |
| I don't understand how you can. |
| Odo: | I linked with her. |
| If she had any hidden motive I would have sensed it. |
| She's just trying to teach me about myself-- about what I'm capable of becoming. |
| Kira: | An intergalactic warlord, maybe? |
| Odo: | Because that's what she is. |
| Kira: | Who knows? |
| Odo: | By linking with her I might be able to make her understand that the Federation doesn't pose a threat to her people. |
| Kira: | You believe you can convince her to call off the war? |
| Odo: | If you could experience the link you'd understand the effect it has on my people. |
| You'd realize that anything is possible. |
| I'm only beginning to understand it all, myself. |
| I still have so many questions. |
| Now that she's here I have a chance to find some answers. |
| Kira: | Odo, this isn't the time to go off on some kind of personal quest. |
| There's too much at stake. |
| After the war is over do whatever you need to do. |
| If you feel you need to go and join the Great Link I'm... I'm not going to stop you. |
| But for right now I need you here-- focused. |
| Please promise me that you're not going to link with her again. |
| Not until this is over. |
| Odo: | All right. |
| I won't. |
| Now, if you'll excuse me I have to get to work. |
| I'll see you at the resistance meeting. |
| --- |
| Dax: | Are you two ever going to be finished? |
| Nog: | Just a few more minutes, Commander. |
| O'Brien: | That's "Captain." |
| It's an old naval tradition. |
| Whoever's in command of a ship regardless of rank is referred to as "Captain." |
| Nog: | You mean if I had to take command I would be called "Captain," too? |
| O'Brien: | Cadet, by the time you took command there'd be nobody left to call you anything. |
| Nog: | Good point. |
| Dax: | Come to take a last look around? |
| Sisko: | Not a last look, I hope. |
| How are the repairs coming? |
| Dax: | Almost done. |
| Sisko: | I wouldn't get too comfortable in that chair, old man. |
| When this war is over I'm going to want my ship back. |
| Dax: | Fine. When this war's over I'm going on a honeymoon. |
| O'Brien: | All done here, Captain. |
| Dax: | Very well. |
| Sisko: | All right. |
| Dax: | Plot a course for the Argolis Cluster and prepare for departure. |
| Sisko: | Good luck. |
| Dax: | Benjamin... I wish you were coming with us. |
| Sisko: | You'll do fine. |
| --- |
| Quark: | Pardon our appearance. |
| We're renovating. |
| Damar: | Kanar. |
| Not that one. |
| The '27. |
| Quark: | '27? |
| Expensive. |
| Damar: | I can afford it... on a gul's salary. |
| Quark: | Wait a minute. |
| You started a fight in my bar and now you're getting a promotion? |
| What kind of way is that to run an army? |
| Damar: | Dukat wasn't happy about what happened. |
| I had to find a way to make it up to him. |
| Quark: | I hope it was something big. |
| Damar: | Let's just say... it will change the course of history. |
| Quark: | As a businessman I'm very interested in the course of history. |
| This one's on me. |
| Damar: | That's very kind of you, Quark... but I can't talk about it. |
| Quark: | Of course. |
| I understand. |
| Let me pour you another. |
| --- |
| Jake: | There's obviously bad blood between the Cardassians and the Jem'Hadar. |
| It wouldn't take much to get them to go at each other again. |
| Kira: | I'm not sure we want to do that. |
| Rom: | But it worked so well. |
| Kira: | What do you think, Odo? |
| Odo: | I'm not sure it's a good idea. |
| Kira: | We'll do something else. |
| Jake: | Major.... |
| Kira: | Something we all agree on. |
| Rom: | Who could that be? |
| Kira: | We're just sitting here enjoying each other's company. |
| Rom: | Right. |
| Kira: | Come in. |
| Rom: | Brother... are you all right? |
| Quark: | No, I am not all right. |
| I just shared a bottle of kanar with Damar. |
| That rhymes. |
| Jake: | You're drunk. |
| Quark: | Of course I'm drunk. |
| I wouldn't risk coming in here and associating myself with your little resistance cell if I wasn't drunk. |
| Kira: | Maybe you'd better leave before someone sees you. |
| Quark: | I tried. |
| I tried my best to run my establishment under this occupation. |
| But you know what? |
| It's no fun. |
| I don't like Cardassians. |
| They're mean and arrogant. |
| And I can't stand the Jem'Hadar. |
| They're creepy. |
| They just stand there like statues staring at you. |
| That's it. |
| I don't want to spend the rest of my life doing business with these people. |
| I want the Federation back. |
| I want to sell root beer again. |
| Kira: | All right. |
| You made your point. Relax. |
| Quark: | How can I relax when there are thousands of Jem'Hadar ships sitting on the other side of the wormhole waiting to come through? |
| Jake: | Don't worry about it. |
| They're stuck there. |
| Quark: | Not if what Damar told me is true. |
| Kira: | What are you talking about? |
| Quark: | He said he came up with a way to deactivate the mines. |
| Dukat wants him to start field tests right away. |
| Kira: | Come on, Quark, think. |
| Did Damar say anything about how he was planning to deactivate the mines? |
| Quark: | Yes. |
| He said something about the station's... defector. |
| Odo: | Defector? |
| Kira: | That's impossible. |
| The only person on the station who knows anything about the mines is... |
| Rom: | Me. |
| Quark: | Defector. |
| That doesn't sound right. |
| Maybe it was... Deflector? |
| Yeah. |
| Yeah, that's it. |
| It's something about using the station's... deflector array. |
| Kira: | What do you think, Rom? |
| Rom: | I'm glad it wasn't me. |
| Kira: | About the deflector array. |
| Is there any way to use it to deactivate the mines? |
| Rom: | No. |
| I designed the mines to be self-replicating. |
| The only way to keep them from replacing themselves is to isolate them in an antigraviton beam. |
| The deflector array can't do that. |
| Unless... you reconfigured the field generators and refocused the emitters which would turn the deflector array into one big antigraviton beam. |
| Quark: | Why didn't you think of that when you set up the mine field? |
| Rom: | Uh, I don't know. |
| Quark: | Uh, he doesn't know. |
| Kira: | Quark. |
| How can we disable the deflector array? |
| Rom: | All you have to do is access the E.P.S. feed and overload the waveguide. |
| Kira: | All right, let's do it. |
| Rom: | But there's no way to get to the E.P.S. feed. |
| It's in a secured conduit rigged with alarms. |
| Kira: | Odo, can you disable those alarms? |
| Odo: | I can take them off-line for about five minutes if I run a security diagnostic. |
| Kira: | Will that give you enough time? |
| Rom: | I think so. |
| Odo: | I'll run the diagnostic as soon as I get to my office. |
| Kira: | All right. |
| You and I will meet here. |
| At exactly 0800 you will begin the diagnostic. |
| --- |
| Worf: | Has there been any news, sir? |
| Sisko: | None. |
| Worf: | The Defiant has been gone over 16 hours. |
| Sisko: | Mr. Worf, I know this is difficult for you. |
| Worf: | Yes, sir. |
| But I sense it is more difficult for you. |
| The Defiant is your ship. |
| Sisko: | Dax'll bring her home. |
| Besides, there's no way she's going to miss her own wedding. |
| Worf: | No, I suppose not. |
| Sisko: | As soon as I hear anything, I'll let you know. |
| Worf: | Thank you, sir. |
| Captain-- you should get some rest. |
| Sisko: | Not tonight, Mr. Worf. |
| Not tonight. |
| Ross: | Ben? |
| Sisko: | Admiral. |
| Ross: | It's late. |
| Sisko: | I know. I was just waiting to see if there was any news. |
| Ross: | Ben, we've got a big day ahead of us tomorrow. |
| I want to nail down the details on the bolian operation. |
| I need you focused. |
| Sisko: | I will be. |
| Ross: | I know how you feel about your crew but you and I are responsible for an entire tactical wing. |
| Thousands of lives depend on the decisions we make. |
| You can't afford to be awake all night worrying about one ship. |
| Sisko: | Admiral, you can order me to my quarters but there's no way I'm going to sleep. |
| Not as long as the Defiant is out there. |
| Ross: | All right, as you wish but you should understand one thing. |
| With any luck, we'll be sending the Defiant on a lot of missions and you're going to have to get used to it. |
| Good night. |
| --- |
| Odo: | Have our people always been shapeshifters? |
| Or was there a time when we were like the solids? |
| Female Changeling: | Eons ago, we were like them limited to one form, but then... we evolved. |
| Odo: | Ah... on the homeworld are you always in the link or do you sometimes take solid form? |
| Female Changeling: | We prefer the link but, on occasion, it is interesting to exist as something else-- a tree perhaps... a cloud in the sky. |
| Odo: | Ah... A cloud. |
| How many of us are there? |
| Female Changeling: | Oh... so many questions, Odo. |
| Odo: | I'm sorry but there's still so much that isn't clear to me yet. |
| Female Changeling: | If you link with me again everything will be made clear to you. |
| Odo: | You have to understand that the link is very overwhelming for me. |
| Right now, it's easier to talk. |
| Female Changeling: | But words are so clumsy so imprecise. |
| Odo: | Even so. |
| Female Changeling: | As you wish. |
| Odo: | You haven't told me your name. |
| Female Changeling: | What use would I have for a name? |
| Odo: | To differentiate yourself from the others. |
| Female Changeling: | I don't. |
| Odo: | But you are a separate being, aren't you? |
| Female Changeling: | In a sense. |
| Odo: | When you return to the link what will become of the entity I'm talking to right now? |
| Female Changeling: | The drop becomes the ocean. |
| Odo: | And if you choose to take solid form again? |
| Female Changeling: | The ocean becomes a drop. |
| Odo: | Ah... |
| Yes. |
| I think I'm beginning to understand. |
| Female Changeling: | Then you can answer your own question. |
| How many of us are there? |
| Odo: | One and many. |
| It depends on how you look at it. |
| Female Changeling: | Very good. |
| You are beginning to understand. |
| But there's so much you don't know. |
| Odo: | Tell me. |
| Female Changeling: | Oh. |
| Words are insufficient. |
| Link with me again. |
| It is the only way I can give you the understanding you seek. |
| Odo: | I can't |
| Female Changeling: | Why not? |
| Odo: | I promised Kira |
| Female Changeling: | She is a solid. |
| This has nothing to do with her. |
| This is about you about what you want. |
| --- |
| Rom: | Am I early? |
| Kira: | A little. |
| I hope there's more than just fruit in that basket. |
| Rom: | I needed a place to hide my tools. |
| In case anybody asks, I'm making a delivery. |
| Kira: | Right. |
| Rom: | Here's your fruit. |
| Kira: | I didn't order any fruit. |
| Oh, your brother sent this, didn't he? |
| If he is trying to win me over tell him it's just not going to work. |
| Better yet, I'll tell him myself. |
| --- |
| Kira: | He should be in his office by now. |
| Now. In here. |
| He's going to interrupt the sensor alarms at exactly 0800 hours. |
| Rom: | I'll be ready. |
| Kira: | If there's a problem, I'll contact you. |
| Good luck with your delivery. |
| --- |
| Rom: | Computer, time. |
| Computer: | 700 hours, 58 minutes. |
| Rom: | Two minutes to go. |
| --- |
| Kira: | Odo. |
| Kira to Odo. Please respond. |
| --- |
| Kira: | Odo. |
| Kira: | Computer, time. |
| Computer: | 700 hours, 59 minutes. |
| Damar: | Hello, Major. |
| Just the person I was looking for. |
| Kira: | Congratulations on your promotion but we'll have to discuss the personnel report another time. |
| Damar: | We'll discuss it now. |
| Kira: | I don't think so. |
| --- |
| Kira: | Kira to Rom-- don't open that hatch. |
| --- |
| Rom: | I already did. |
| Kira: | Get out of there. |
| --- |
| Damar: | Intruder alert. |
| Come with me. |
| Damar: | Well, well... what do we have here? |
| --- |
| Sisko: | Captain's log, tactical update, Stardate 51149.5. |
| The Defiant has returned to Starbase 375 after its successful attack on the Dominion sensor array. |
| Admiral Ross and I have recommended that Lieutenant Commander Dax and the entire Defiant crew be cited for exceptional performance of their duties. |
| Nog: | Admiral on deck! |
| Ross: | Carry on. |
| Dax: | Nog, Saurian brandy for the brass. |
| Bashir: | Dax, would you tell Ensign Kirby how I took over the conn when Lieutenant Haj was injured? |
| She doesn't believe me. |
| Dax: | Frankly, I'm not sure I believe it happened myself. |
| Bashir: | Sir. Sir. |
| Ross: | Congratulations, Captain. |
| Dax: | Thank you, sir. |
| Will you excuse me a minute? |
| Julian needs me. |
| Ross: | Certainly. |
| Nog: | Here you are. |
| Sisko: | Don't ask where he got it. |
| Ross: | Don't worry. |
| I don't want to know. |
| O'Brien: | Here's another one, Captain. |
| Dax: | Take a good look... because this says something about us-- that we're willing to fight and that we'll keep on fighting until we can't fight anymore. |
| Crew: | Yes, sir! |
| Dax: | You don't throw something like this away. |
| Crew: | No, sir! |
| O'Brien: | Hey! |
| Hey! |
| Ross: | They're a good crew. |
| Sisko: | The best. |
| Ross: | What do you say we get back to work? |
| --- |
| Kira: | What the hell happened? |
| Why didn't you disable that alarm? |
| Odo: | It's difficult to explain. |
| Kira: | Rom is sitting in a holding cell being interrogated. |
| He was counting on you. |
| I was counting on you! |
| Odo: | I know. |
| Kira: | You know? |
| Do you realize what you just did? |
| You just handed the Alpha Quadrant to the Dominion. |
| Odo: | I was in the link. |
| Kira: | Are you saying you forgot? |
| Odo: | I didn't forget. |
| It just... didn't seem to matter. |
| Kira: | A lot of people are going to die. |
| Don't you care? |
| Odo: | It has nothing to do with me. |
| Kira: | How can you say that? |
| Odo: | If you could experience the link you'd know why nothing else matters. |
| Kira: | The last five years-- your life here, our friendship-- none of that matters? |
| Odo: | It did... once. |
| I wish I could make you understand but you can't. |
| You're not a changeling. |
| Kira: | You're right. |
| I'm a solid. |
| Female Changeling: | You look troubled, Odo. |
| Did she upset you? |
| Odo: | No. Not really. |
| Female Changeling: | Ah. |
