| Bashir: | Neither did I. |
| O'Brien: | Don't believe him. He was Mister Doom and Gloom the entire time you were away. |
| Bashir: | Maybe I was a little concerned. |
| O'Brien: | We were all concerned. Your well-being was a constant source of conversation and speculation. |
| Ezri: | You see? I told you they'd miss us. |
| So, who won the betting pool? |
| Bashir: | Morn. He managed to guess the day you'd be back. |
| Only missed the time of your arrival by two hours. |
| O'Brien: | He's amazing. |
| Sisko: | Mr. Worf. |
| Worf: | Captain. |
| Ezri: | I know what you're going to say. |
| The answer is yes, I did leave the station without your permission, and yes, I lost a runabout, but... |
| Sisko: | We'll evaluate your actions later, old man. |
| Right now I'd like to know everything you learned about this Breen-Dominion alliance. |
| Worf: | We have very little information to share with you. |
| Ezri: | Weyoun and the others were more interested in asking questions than they were answering them. |
| Sisko: | Why do you think Damar decided to help you escape? |
| Ezri: | I'm not sure, but I can tell you one thing. |
| He hates Weyoun. |
| Worf: | The Cardassians are a proud people, but the Dominion treats them like second-class citizens. |
| Ezri: | I think Damar is worried this new alliance with the Breen is going to weaken Cardassia's status with the Dominion even more, but, whatever his reasons, we owe him our lives. |
| Sisko: | Maybe one day you'll be able to return the favor. |
| Uh, Doctor, I'd like a complete medical workup on both of them. |
| Bashir: | Can't tell you how glad I am to see you again. |
| Uh, both-- both... both of you. |
| Kira: | Kira to Sisko. |
| Sisko: | Go ahead. |
| Kira: | We just received a priority-one transmission from Starfleet Command. |
| The Breen have attacked Earth. |
| Sisko: | I had a lot of friends in those buildings. |
| Starfleet was able to destroy most of the Breen attack force, but by then, the damage had been done. |
| Martok: | We must give the enemy credit. |
| To launch an attack on Starfleet Headquarters-- even my people never attempted that. |
| We've learned one thing about the Breen today, Captain. |
| They're a race of warriors. |
| Sisko: | That's about all we know. |
| Our intelligent reports are sketchy at best. |
| Martok: | Captain, every species has its weakness. |
| They're no exception. |
| Sisko: | Let's hope you're right. |
| But whatever the weakness is we'd better find it soon. |
| --- |
| Weyoun: | There. Do you see that? |
| The news from Earth keeps getting better. |
| The Federation casualty report is being revised upward once again. |
| Weyoun: | Well put. |
| Casualties are merely a bonus. |
| What matters is that we have struck fear into the heart of our enemy and made them feel weak and vulnerable. |
| General, please congratulate your troops for us. |
| They've done a superb job. |
| Don't you agree, Damar? |
| Damar: | Superb. |
| Damar: | It's unfortunate so few of your ships survived the assault. |
| Weyoun: | Leave it to you, Damar, to point out the one cloud in the sky. |
| Weyoun: | My thought exactly. |
| It is a very small price for such an important victory. |
| Now, if you'll excuse me I must make my report to the Founder. |
| Damar: | Oh, by the way, in case Weyoun neglected to mention it, the Dominion once sang Cardassia's praises as well. |
| Damar: | It's really quite simple. |
| They expected the war to be over long ago. |
| It's not, and for that they blame us. |
| Now, if the war isn't ended soon, they'll shift the blame to you. |
| Damar: | Well, maybe so, but win or lose I wouldn't turn my back on Weyoun if I were you. |
| --- |
| Sisko: | Kasidy, what happened? |
| Kasidy: | Uh, that's what I'm trying to find out. |
| Sisko: | Ow. |
| What are you doing? |
| You don't cook. |
| Kasidy: | I-I know. |
| I was just making sure. |
| Sisko: | My... my peppers. |
| Kasidy: | I-I know how you like roasted peppers in your casserole. |
| Sisko: | Took me three months to grow them. |
| Nobody touches my peppers. |
| Kasidy: | I'm so sorry. |
| I... with all the bad news about Earth, I wanted to do something nice for you. |
| But from now on, you wear the apron in the family. |
| Sisko: | You know, that's a good idea. |
| Kasidy: | Glad you're not mad. |
| Wouldn't want anything to ruin our last few nights together. |
| Sisko: | Our last few nights together? |
| Kasidy: | My cargo run. |
| I leave early next week. |
| Sisko: | No, you're not going anywhere. |
| It's too dangerous. |
| Kasidy: | Ben, the Breen attacked Earth. |
| That's not exactly next door. |
| Sisko: | We don't know where they're going to attack next. |
| I would feel better if you were closer to me. |
| Kasidy: | Well, that's sweet. |
| But I'm going anyway. |
| Sisko: | I can't talk you out of it? |
| Kasidy: | Not a chance. |
| --- |
| Damar: | Enter. |
| Rusot: | The information you requested. |
| Damar: | Excellent. |
| Sit down. |
| Rusot: | I'm not sure it's wise for me to stay. |
| What if the Vorta decides to pay you a visit? |
| Damar: | And what if he does? |
| He'll see me conferring with one of my officers. |
| There's nothing suspicious about that. |
| Rusot: | Doesn't seem right-- all this plotting and secrecy. |
| What are we? Romulans? |
| Damar: | No. We're Cardassians, but right now Cardassia's an occupied territory and to defeat an occupying army takes careful planning and secrecy. |
| Rusot: | Can we really hope to defeat the Dominion? |
| With the Breen on their side, they're stronger than ever. |
| Damar: | But we will be fighting to win back our homes and our freedom, and that will make us even stronger. |
| Rusot: | I remember the day I heard the news that Cardassia had joined the Dominion. |
| Like everyone else, I rejoiced. |
| We were going to be rulers of the entire Alpha Quadrant. |
| Instead, we're a conquered people... servants in our own land. |
| Damar: | All that will soon end. |
| Now, are you sure we can trust these officers? |
| Rusot: | And the troops under their command. |
| Still, it's not a very long list, is it? |
| Damar: | It will get longer. |
| With a victory or two all Cardassia will rise up with us. |
| Rusot: | We'll need to know the exact location of the Dominion weapon emplacements on Rondac III. |
| Damar: | Leave that to me. |
| Now I want you to get a message to every one of these officers. |
| --- |
| Solbor: | Regarding your scheduled retreat to the Calash Monastery? |
| Winn: | Cancel it. |
| Solbor: | Very good. |
| Now, about your appearance before the Vedek Assembly? |
| Winn: | Cancel that, too. |
| Solbor: | Cancel an appearance before the Vedek Assembly? |
| Winn: | Just do it. |
| Cancel everything. |
| Solbor: | As you wish. |
| May I ask what, exactly, you will be doing? |
| Winn: | You certainly may not. |
| But if you must know, I'll be devoting most of my time to study and meditation. |
| Solbor: | I see. |
| Dukat: | Solbor, I'll have my breakfast on the balcony this morning. |
| Eminence, is there anything you would like? |
| Winn: | I'm not hungry. |
| Dukat: | Oh, but you really should eat. |
| After all, Bajor is only as strong as its Kai. |
| Winn: | I said, I'm not hungry. |
| Do as he asks. |
| And please... write a note to the vedeks expressing my apologies for having to postpone our meeting. |
| Solbor: | I'll see to it immediately. |
| Dukat: | What a tiresome little man. |
| Winn: | Sometimes I think you forget your place, Anjohl. |
| Dukat: | Oh, forgive me if I've offended you in any way. |
| I am but a moon made warm by the light of your sun. |
| Winn: | I hope you're a better farmer than you are a poet. |
| Dukat: | Something is wrong. |
| Tell me... what's bothering you? |
| Winn: | Everything-- the prayers, the rituals, these robes. |
| I can't keep pretending I follow the path of the Prophets. |
| Dukat: | You won't have to. |
| The Pah-wraiths are waiting to embrace you. |
| Winn: | So you keep saying. |
| But when is that going to happen? |
| Dukat: | As soon as we release them from the fire caves. |
| Winn: | Release them? |
| But the prophecies. |
| Dukat: | What about them? |
| Winn: | Well, they warn that the release of the Pah-wraiths will mean the end of Bajor. |
| Dukat: | The old Bajor, perhaps. |
| But from its ashes a new Bajor will arise, and the restoration will begin. |
| Winn: | Who will be left to see it? |
| Dukat: | Those the gods find worthy. |
| It will be the dawn of paradise and you, Adami, are destined to rule it. |
| Winn: | You're sure of that? |
| Dukat: | It is meant to be. |
| Winn: | And what will become of you? |
| Dukat: | Oh, I will be at your side for as long as you need me. |
| But first, we have to release the Pah-wraiths. |
| Winn: | But how do we do that? |
| Dukat: | The answer is in the text of the Kosst Amojan. |
| Winn: | It is forbidden for anyone to open that book. |
| Dukat: | Yes... anyone except the Kai. |
| Winn: | It is said to contain great evil. |
| Dukat: | You have nothing to fear. |
| I'll be right there with you. |
| Winn: | Did I say I was afraid? |
| Bashir: | Here, this palisade in the south wall-- if only we could make this part of the compound less vulnerable. |
| O'Brien: | What are you talking about? |
| The south wall isn't the problem. |
| They came over the north wall, by Travis's position. |
| Bashir: | I know where they came from, Miles. |
| I am Travis, remember? |
| And I say we strengthen the south wall, the north wall and any other place that helps us keep the enemy out. |
| O'Brien: | Then it wouldn't be the Battle of the Alamo, would it? |
| Bashir: | I don't care. |
| I just want to win once. |
| O'Brien: | Be Santa Anna. |
| He wins every time. |
| Bashir: | What if we put cannons along the long barracks like this? |
| O'Brien: | What do you think you're doing?! |
| Know how long it took me to build this? |
| Quark: | I don't believe the two of you. |
| Your homeworld has been attacked the Breen have joined forces with the Dominion and here you are, calmly playing games. |
| Bashir: | You ever heard of grace under pressure, Quark? |
| Quark: | Shouldn't you be doing something more productive? |
| O'Brien: | I just spent 14 hours recalibrating the station's weapons array. |
| Bashir: | I just did a complete run-through of the emergency support team protocols. |
| Quark: | So, you do expect an attack on the station. |
| Bashir: | Anything's possible. |
| What about a moat? |
| O'Brien: | A moat? |
| Around the Alamo? |
| Bashir: | Yes. Here, look. |
| We could widen this stream maybe make it a little deeper. |
| Quark: | I say we build a moat around the station. |
| --- |
| Worf: | He is a child. |
| Ezri: | Miles does have a certain... cherubic quality. |
| Worf: | I was talking about Dr. Bashir, and you know it. |
| Are you certain he's the one? |
| Ezri: | I'm not certain about anything. |
| But he is handsome. |
| Worf: | You deserve more than handsome. |
| He gets excited playing with toys. |
| Ezri: | He knows how to have a good time. |
| Besides, it's not exactly a toy. |
| You heard the Chief. |
| He spent hours making that. |
| Worf: | I see it is hopeless to try and reason with you. |
| Ezri: | I know. |
| Maybe I am in love with him. |
| Do you think I should tell him how I feel? |
| Worf: | If it will make you happy, yes. |
| Ezri: | You're a good friend, Worf. |
| Worf: | I know. |
| They are wasting their time. |
| No matter how much planning they do, there is no way that they can defend that mission against an enemy that numbers in the thousands not without more men. |
| Ezri: | You know, if you want to go down there and help them... |
| Just a thought. |
| --- |
| Weyoun: | Damar. |
| Weyoun: | You're up early. |
| Damar: | Am I? |
| Weyoun: | Yes, you are, or you haven't been to bed yet. |
| Damar: | Actually, I had a very restful sleep. |
| Weyoun: | How nice. |
| Damar: | I had no idea the Breen could mobilize such a large fleet so quickly. |
| Weyoun: | Our new allies are full of surprises, aren't they? |
| Damar: | Hmm. |
| Weyoun: | You know those refrigeration suits they wear? |
| Damar: | What about them? |
| Weyoun: | I'm sure you've read the intelligence reports that say that their homeworld is a frozen wasteland. |
| Well, it's not. |
| The climate on their home planet is quite comfortable. |
| Damar: | Then why do they wear refrigeration suits? |
| Weyoun: | They won't say. |
| You see what I mean? |
| They're full of surprises. |
| There's something... different about you today, Damar. |
| I can't quite put my finger on it. |
| It's almost as if you're only... half-dressed. |
| Damar: | What are you talking about? |
| Weyoun: | You don't have a bottle in your hand. |
| Damar: | Don't you have anything better to do than to stand here...? |
| Weyoun: | You've regained your confidence. |
| Damar: | I wasn't aware that I'd lost it. |
| Weyoun: | Come now, Damar. |
| You thought you backed the wrong side. |
| You thought the Dominion was going to lose this war and drag Cardassia down with it. |
| Damar: | I must admit, things were looking rather grim. |
| Weyoun: | Perhaps, for a moment or two. |
| That's no excuse to lose faith in oneself or one's allies. |
| But now... it's as if you've groped your way through a dark tunnel and stepped back out into the light once again. |
| You know what that light's told you? |
| That the Dominion will prevail... that the Federation will be conquered, and a new era of peace and prosperity will blanket the Alpha Quadrant. |
| Damar: | You know me so well. |
| Weyoun: | Really, Damar... I hope you won't let that Cardassian-sized ego of yours spoil our victory-- and I do mean our victory. |
| Damar: | Yours, mine... |
| Damar: | And the Breen. |
| Weyoun: | Yes, and the Breen. |
| Damar: | We're just one big, happy family, aren't we? |
| Weyoun: | I like it so much better when we agree. |
| Don't you? |
| --- |
| Solbor: | The text of the Kosst Amojan, as you requested. |
| Winn: | Very good. |
| Well... put it on my desk. |
| Solbor: | Eminence, may I speak frankly? |
| Winn: | If you must. |
| Solbor: | This book has not been removed from the archives not for 700 years. |
| Winn: | Your point being? |
| Solbor: | The knowledge it contains... about the Pah-wraiths-- it is said to be very dangerous. |
| Winn: | Knowledge is never dangerous in the right hands. |
| Solbor: | There is an old saying-- he who studies evil... is studied by evil. |
| Winn: | I will keep that in mind. |
| Now give me the book. |
| Dukat: | Your concern for her eminence is appreciated and acknowledged. |
| Nevertheless, you must do as she says. |
| I will see to it that no harm comes to her. |
| Winn: | There. That should make you feel better. |
| Solbor: | I wish it could, but this man... one day he comes onto Deep Space Nine and the next he's become your closest advisor. |
| What do we know of him? |
| Where did he come from? |
| What does he want? |
| Dukat: | I want only to serve the Kai. |
| Solbor: | This is his idea, isn't it? |
| To study this hateful book. |
| Winn: | Anjohl was sent to me by the Prophets. |
| That's all I need to know, and that's all anyone needs to know. |
| Dukat: | I have no idea why I was chosen, but who are we to question the ways of the Prophets? |
| Winn: | Perhaps you should go to the temple and ask the Prophets' forgiveness for questioning their wisdom. |
| Dukat: | Solbor does not approve of me. |
| Winn: | He has served me well for many years. |
| Dukat: | And he may serve you well for many more if the Pah-wraiths find him worthy. |
| Dukat: | Well...? |
| Aren't you going to open it? |
| Dukat: | The Pah-wraiths are not evil, but they are powerful, and they're willing to share that power with you. |
| The question is, do you want it? |
| Dukat: | Yes. |
| Dukat: | This can't be. |
| This is a trick. |
| Winn: | It's not a trick. |
| Dukat: | Well, then Solbor brought the wrong book. |
| Winn: | He doesn't make those kinds of mistakes. |
| The words are here. |
| They're just hidden, that's all. |
| It's up to us to find them. |
| Odo: | These are the new security protocols you requested. |
| Sisko: | Very good. |
| Odo: | Although, frankly, I'm not sure how effective they'll be against the Breen. |
| Sisko: | Neither am I. |
| I just hope we don't have to find out. |
| Kasidy: | Benjamin? |
| You mind explaining this? |
| Sisko: | Constable, do you mind if we use your office for a moment? |
| Odo: | Not at all. |
| Sisko: | Well, it looks like the Bajoran Freight and Shipping Authority wants you to take a vacation. |
| Kasidy: | A month's paid vacation? |
| This is your doing, isn't it? |
| Let me guess. |
| The Emissary asked for a little favor. |
| Sisko: | I never once mentioned the word "Emissary." |
| Kasidy: | But you did arrange this. |
| Sisko: | I'm just trying to keep you out of harm's way. |
| Is that such a terrible thing for a husband to do? |
| Kasidy: | I told you. |
| I don't need or want that kind of protection. |
| I want you to call whoever you called and have them put me back on the active list. |
| Sisko: | Kasidy, it's only for a month. |
| Kasidy: | I don't care if it's only for a day. |
| How would you like it if I called Admiral Ross and said "Oh, do me a favor." |
| "Please don't send my husband on any dangerous missions this month?" |
| Sisko: | That's not the same thing. |
| Kasidy: | It is from where I'm standing. |
| My job is just as important to me as your job is to you. |
| Sisko: | I know that. |
| --- |
| Odo: | What's so funny? |
| Quark: | Marriage-- it changes everything. |
| If you're not careful, that could be you and Kira. |
| Odo: | Huh. |
| --- |
| Solbor: | Here are the other volumes you wanted. |
| Winn: | Thank you, Solbor. |
| You may go now. |
| Solbor: | Eminence, I must inform you that the archivists are very concerned... |
| Dukat: | You heard the Kai. |
| Leave us. |
| Solbor: | They're wondering why you need to consult so many of these dark texts. |
| Winn: | You may tell them that their Kai works for the good of Bajor. |
| Now leave me. |
| I have work to do. |
| Winn: | Why are you still here? |
| Dukat: | What would you like me to do? |
| Winn: | Go away. |
| Dukat: | I don't understand. |
| Winn: | I must concentrate. |
| Dukat: | But, your eminence... |
| Winn: | Not another word. |
| Dukat: | Very well. |
| --- |
| Kasidy: | They're beautiful. |
| Sisko: | Then you forgive me? |
| Kasidy: | Uh, that depends. |
| Have you talked to Bajoran Freight and Shipping? |
| Sisko: | You're on the active list. |
| Kasidy: | Then I forgive you. |
| But, from here on in... |
| Sisko: | I'm not to interfere with your work unless you tell me to. |
| Or it's absolutely necessary. |
| I'm just joking. |
| Kasidy: | You'd better be. |
| Sisko: | What's that for? |
| Kasidy: | The flowers. |
| And for being big enough to admit when you're wrong. |
| Sisko: | Ah, must be Quark. |
| The necklace. |
| Kasidy: | The necklace? |
| Sisko: | Just in case the flowers didn't work. |
| Ross: | Ben, the Breen have launched a counteroffensive against our forces in the Chin'toka System. |
| Sisko: | Have they broken through? |
| Ross: | In two places. |
| Sisko: | When do I leave? |
| Nog: | This is bad... very bad. |
| Kira: | You say that every time we take the Defiant into battle. |
| Nog: | Impulse manifold purged and clear. |
| If we lose the Chin'toka System, we lose our only foothold in the Dominion territory. |
| I think that qualifies as bad. |
| Kira: | Well, we haven't lost it yet. |
| Initiating impulse pre-start sequence. |
| Nog: | Microfusion generators on line. |
| But the Breen, they seem unstoppable. |
| First Earth, now Chin'toka? |
| Worf: | Ensign, no one is unstoppable. |
| Collimate the nadion emitters. |
| Nog: | Collimation sequence in progress. |
| Bashir: | What more can I say, Miles, but I'm sorry? |
| O'Brien: | Dilithium matrix is aligned and calibrated. |
| Just be a bit more careful. |
| That's all I ask. |
| Kira: | Opening antimatter injector ports. |
| Trouble in paradise? |
| Bashir: | It was nothing. |
| Emergency life-support and damage control systems standing by. |
| O'Brien: | I wouldn't call it nothing. |
| Ezri: | Autonomous guidance system initialized and active. |
| O'Brien: | He lost Travis. |
| Kira: | Mmm. Sounds serious. |
| Verify astrometric database. |
| Bashir: | Miles built this Alamo model replete with small figures. |
| Quite spectacular, actually. |
| Datasets loaded and verified. |
| Anyway, he was showing it to me in Quark's when we-- rather, I-- accidentally misplaced Colonel Travis. |
| Nog: | Phaser safeties engaged. |
| Can't you make another one? |
| O'Brien: | What, so he can lose it again? |
| Field stabilizers on line. |
| Kira: | Well, that's what happens when you share your toys. |
| Synchronizing warp plasma flow. |
| O'Brien: | It's not a toy. |
| It's a model built to scale. |
| Bashir: | He really did a fantastic job. |
| O'Brien: | Nacelles holding at pre-warp threshold. |
| Bashir: | Miles, when we get back... |
| Worf: | He plays with toys. |
| Ezri: | It's a model. |
| Worf: | With little figures. |
| Bashir: | It's a start. |
| Nog: | Captain on the Bridge! |
| Sisko: | Commander. |
| Worf: | Weapons array is on line. |
| Phasers are fully charged. |
| Quantum torpedo launchers are loaded and standing by. |
| Sisko: | Colonel, set a course to rendezvous with the Federation assault fleet. |
| Kira: | Course set. |
| Sisko: | Take us out. |
| Kira: | Airlocks are sealed. |
| Releasing docking clamps. |
| --- |
| Dukat: | Where are you going with those? |
| Solbor: | I'm returning these books to the archives. |
| Dukat: | On whose authority? |
| Solbor: | I believe her eminence has finished. |
| Dukat: | Put them back. |
| Solbor: | How dare you use that tone with me... |
| Dukat: | I'll put them back. |
| Dukat: | Wake up, my love. |
| There's work to be done. |
| Winn: | Oh, Anjohl. |
| I must have dozed off. |
| Dukat: | You're tired. |
| It's understandable. |
| Winn: | I haven't made much progress. |
| Dukat: | You'll find the answers we're looking for. |
| It's just a matter of time. |
| Winn: | Oh, I'm so glad you're here. |
| Dukat: | Hmm. |
| I'll see that you're brought something to eat. |
| Hmm? |
| --- |
| Rusot: | According to the latest battle reports, it looks as if the Dominion is going to retake Chin'toka. |
| Damar: | A few months ago, the thought of the Federation being driven from Cardassian soil would've been a cause for celebration, but the Dominion victories are no longer our victories. |
| Now, are our troops in position? |
| Rusot: | They're awaiting your command. |
| Damar: | Excellent. |
| We attack in seven hours. |
| Rusot: | We're going to lose many fine soldiers. |
| Damar: | At least they'll be dying for Cardassia and not the Dominion. |
| --- |
| Weyoun: | The Federation reinforcements are approaching Chin'toka. |
| Female Changeling: | The more of them, the better. |
| Weyoun: | Founder, it concerns me to have you this close to the front. |
| Female Changeling: | You're concern is noted. |
| But this is one battle I intend to see firsthand. |
| Weyoun: | Yes. |
| It should be most gratifying. |
| --- |
| Romulan officer: | Romulan attack wings Three and Nine have reached the line of deployment. |
| Federation officer: | Federation fighter squadrons Seven and Ten, break into sections, and stand by to begin reconnaissance sweep. |
| Standing by. |
| Martok: | Lead units, assume attack positions. |
| Advance to contact. |
| O'Brien: | Sir, they've locked weapons on us. |
| Sisko: | All auxiliary power to forward shields. |
| Colonel, attack pattern delta. |
| Kira: | Aye, sir. |
| Sisko: | Mr. Worf, quantum torpedoes. |
| Worf: | Target locked. |
| Sisko: | Fire. |
| Worf: | Target locked. Launchers one and two standing by. |
| Sisko: | Fire. |
| O'Brien: | What the hell is...?! |
| Kira: | We've lost power to the helm. |
| Ezri: | The com's out. |
| Worf: | So are weapons. |
| Bashir: | Primary computer systems are off-line. |
| Kira: | Manual controls are frozen. |
| Sisko: | Chief... |
| O'Brien: | I can't get anything back on line. |
| Somehow, they're draining all our power. |
| Nog: | The fire-suppression system's off-line! |
| Worf: | Use the manual extinguishers. |
| Nog: | I'm on it. |
| Ezri: | We're venting plasma coolant. |
| The air's becoming toxic, Captain. |
| O'Brien: | Sir, the ablative armor is starting to buckle. |
| Worf: | We have hull breaches on Decks Three and Four. |
| O'Brien: | Without power for the emergency force fields we can't seal them. |
| Sisko: | Abandon ship. |
| Sisko: | You heard me. |
| Everyone get to the escape pods. |
| Now. |
| O'Brien: | Captain... |
| Sisko: | She's a fine ship. |
| O'Brien: | No one will argue with that. |
| But like you say, it's time to go. |
| --- |
| Weyoun: | Poor Captain Sisko. |
| I believe he was quite fond of that ship. |
| Founder, I'm happy to report that the Chin'toka System is ours once again. |
| Female Changeling: | A step in the right direction. |
| Send my compliments to the Breen. |
| Weyoun: | I'm certain that will please them greatly. |
| Female Changeling: | Really? |
| I have no idea what would please the Breen, nor do I care as long as they fight and win. |
| I will not tolerate defeat any longer. |
| Weyoun: | Nor will I. |
| All those escape pods... so small... so vulnerable. |
| I'll order their destruction immediately. |
| Female Changeling: | No. |
| Let them return to the Federation. |
| Those pods are filled with frightened, demoralized troops. |
| Weyoun: | Troops that will spread fear throughout the Federation with tales of what happened here today. |
| The Founder is wise. |

| Dukat: | There... now, don't you feel better? |
| Winn: | Much. |
| Thank you, Anjohl. |
| Dukat: | I'm here to serve you any way I can. |
| Solbor: | Get away from her. |
| Dukat: | What? |
| Solbor: | Eminence, that man is not Anjohl Tennan. |
| Winn: | What are you talking about? |
| Solbor: | Anjohl Tennan died nine years ago in the labor camp at Batal. |
| I warned you not to trust him. |
| I had a sample of his DNA sequenced. |
| He's not even a Bajoran. |
| He's a Cardassian. |
| Dukat: | We were brought together for a cause. |
| A great cause. |
| Our destinies are linked. |
| Solbor: | Don't listen to him. |
| Look at him. |
| Don't you recognize the face of your enemy? |
| Solbor: | It's Gul Dukat. |
| Winn: | Oh, it can't be. |
| Solbor: | He lied to you... used you. |
| Winn: | It's not true. |
| Solbor: | I don't know why you wanted to do this-- for what evil purpose-- but it's not going to work. |
| Dukat: | He doesn't understand, Adami. |
| He couldn't possibly understand the love of the Pah-wraiths. |
| Solbor: | The love of the Pah-wraiths... you're trying to release them. |
| That's why you wanted the text of the Kosst Amojan. |
| Winn: | Solbor, listen to me. |
| All I want is to bring about the restoration. |
| Solbor: | You've betrayed the Prophets. |
| You've betrayed us all. |
| Winn: | Try to understand. |
| The Pah-wraiths-- they are the true gods. |
| Solbor: | You must be stopped. |
| Winn: | Solbor... I beg you... no! |
| Dukat: | It'll be all right. |
| Winn: | Don't touch me. |
| My life is over. |
| The Pah-wraiths sent you to destroy me. |
| Dukat: | On the contrary, they sent me to save you. |
| Winn: | Lies. |
| Nothing but Cardassian lies. |
| And to think I let you touch me. |
| The book. |
| I must destroy it. |
| Dukat: | There! |
| You see? |
| The Pah-wraiths have judged you and found you worthy. |
| Their secrets are now your secrets to do with as you please. |
| Take their gift and use it. |
| Seize the power they're offering you. |
| Winn: | What about Solbor? |
| Dukat: | I'll take care of the body. |

| Sisko: | The Defiant was the finest ship I ever commanded. |
| There will never be another one like her. |
| Ross: | It may take a while, Ben, but I'll get you another ship, I promise you that. |
| I just wish I knew how we were going to neutralize the Breen energy dissipaters. |
| Sisko: | We need to buy some time. |
| Ross: | Time may be the one thing we don't have. |
| Kira: | Captain, we're monitoring a transmission from Cardassian space. |
| I think you're going to find it interesting. |
| --- |
| Damar: | ...And so two years ago, our government signed a treaty with the Dominion. |
| In it, the Dominion promised to extend Cardassia's influence throughout the Alpha Quadrant. |
| In exchange, we pledged ourselves to join the war against the Federation and its allies. |
| Cardassians have never been afraid of war a fact we've proven time and again over these past two years. |
| Seven million of our brave soldiers have given their lives to fulfill our part of the agreement. |
| And what has the Dominion done in return? |
| Nothing. |
| --- |
| Damar: | We've gained no new territories. |
| In fact, our influence throughout the Quadrant has diminished. |
| And to make matters worse we are no longer masters in our own home. |
| Travel anywhere in Cardassia and what do you find? |
| Jem'hadar... |
| --- |
| Damar: | Vorta... and now Breen. |
| --- |
| Damar: | Instead of the invaders, we have become the invaded. |
| Our allies have conquered us without firing a single shot. |
| Well, no longer. |
| This morning, detachments of the Cardassian First, Third and Ninth Orders attacked a Dominion outpost on Rondac III. |
| --- |
| Damar: | This assault marks the first step toward the liberation of our homeland... |
| Sisko: | Colonel, see if you can get confirmation on that. |
| Damar: | ...The Dominion. |
| --- |
| Damar: | I call upon Cardassians everywhere... |
| Resist! |
| Resist today. |
| Resist tomorrow. |
| Resist till the last Dominion soldier has been driven from our soil. |
| --- |
| Weyoun: | It's confirmed. |
| Our cloning facility on Rondac III has been destroyed. |
| I could be the last Weyoun. |
| That's why he picked that target. |
| Female Changeling: | I want Damar and the rest of these traitors found and eliminated. |
| Weyoun: | I'll see to it immediately. |
| Weyoun: | I don't care how many Cardassians you have to kill. |
| Find Damar. |
| Is that clear? |
| Weyoun: | I'm going to hold you to that. |
| --- |
| Kira: | Captain, our listening posts have confirmed the attack on Rondac. |
| Ross: | Damar may have just bought us some precious time... if the Dominion doesn't track him down too quickly. |
| Sisko: | We need to find a way to help him. |
| Legate Damar may be the key to saving the Alpha Quadrant. |
