1
00:00:01,819 --> 00:00:04,780
Last time on
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine...
2
00:00:05,114 --> 00:00:07,866
If you could do any
science project you wanted to,
3
00:00:07,991 --> 00:00:09,159
anything at all...
4
00:00:09,368 --> 00:00:10,869
Visit the Gamma Quadrant?
5
00:00:22,714 --> 00:00:24,758
We've never heard
of the Jem'Hadar.
6
00:00:25,008 --> 00:00:26,468
Then you've been fortunate.
7
00:00:27,344 --> 00:00:30,264
Negotiations with the Dominion
can be a dangerous thing.
8
00:00:33,016 --> 00:00:34,893
The Dominion will
no longer stand by
9
00:00:35,060 --> 00:00:38,605
and allow ships from your side
to violate our territory.
10
00:00:38,814 --> 00:00:40,524
Starfleet's orders are simple.
11
00:00:40,691 --> 00:00:42,526
Traffic through the wormhole
will be suspended
12
00:00:42,609 --> 00:00:45,195
until the Odyssey can
investigate the Jem'Hadar's threat.
13
00:00:45,279 --> 00:00:47,156
What about Benjamin
and the others?
14
00:00:47,322 --> 00:00:48,615
Don't worry, Lieutenant.
15
00:00:48,699 --> 00:00:50,909
Commander Sisko's return
is a top priority.
16
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:53,704
If you're going to try to rescue
them then we're coming with you.
17
00:01:04,273 --> 00:01:05,399
Here they come.
18
00:01:14,057 --> 00:01:15,309
Major, one of
the Jem'Hadar ships
19
00:01:15,392 --> 00:01:16,810
is making a direct
run at the Odyssey.
20
00:01:24,067 --> 00:01:26,570
The Jem'Hadar wanted us
to escape, didn't they?
21
00:01:26,778 --> 00:01:29,156
You have no idea
what's begun here.
22
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,492
She'll be back.
23
00:01:32,701 --> 00:01:34,703
The question is
who she'll bring with her.
24
00:01:35,037 --> 00:01:37,873
If the Dominion
comes through the wormhole,
25
00:01:38,123 --> 00:01:40,292
the first battle
will be fought here
26
00:01:40,792 --> 00:01:43,712
and I intend
to be ready for them.
27
00:01:44,213 --> 00:01:46,423
And now, the continuation.
28
00:01:57,976 --> 00:01:59,519
We're in trouble, people.
29
00:01:59,811 --> 00:02:02,814
We've run seven simulations
and they all come out the same.
30
00:02:02,940 --> 00:02:04,608
The Jem'Hadar
overwhelm our defenses
31
00:02:04,733 --> 00:02:06,818
and board the station
within two hours.
32
00:02:07,069 --> 00:02:08,528
Two hours doesn't even
give us time
33
00:02:08,654 --> 00:02:10,322
to get reinforcements
from Bajor.
34
00:02:10,614 --> 00:02:12,699
There must be something
we overlooked.
35
00:02:12,824 --> 00:02:15,494
Major, I'm the last one
to say it's hopeless,
36
00:02:15,619 --> 00:02:17,579
but given DS9's
structural limitations,
37
00:02:17,704 --> 00:02:19,164
our available power supply,
38
00:02:19,289 --> 00:02:21,583
and the difficulty of defending
a stationary target
39
00:02:21,708 --> 00:02:23,418
against a heavily
armed mobile force,
40
00:02:23,543 --> 00:02:25,337
I'd say two hours is optimistic.
41
00:02:25,587 --> 00:02:26,755
Well, regardless of the time,
42
00:02:26,922 --> 00:02:28,298
the casualties
would be appalling.
43
00:02:28,507 --> 00:02:30,926
All right, let's say we let
them board the station.
44
00:02:31,051 --> 00:02:32,844
That still doesn't mean
we have to surrender.
45
00:02:33,053 --> 00:02:34,346
What are you suggesting?
46
00:02:35,681 --> 00:02:37,182
We can, uh...
47
00:02:37,432 --> 00:02:41,520
we can hide in the conduits, set
up booby traps, prepare ambushes...
48
00:02:41,687 --> 00:02:44,273
try and hold out
until we can get reinforcements.
49
00:02:44,398 --> 00:02:46,024
We can try, but I don't think
50
00:02:46,149 --> 00:02:48,902
there'd be much of a station
left by the time they got here.
51
00:02:49,236 --> 00:02:50,988
That leaves us
with two options --
52
00:02:51,071 --> 00:02:53,699
abandon the station
and make a stand on Bajor.
53
00:02:54,366 --> 00:02:58,453
Or... collapse the entrance
to the wormhole.
54
00:02:58,578 --> 00:03:00,038
No, I want a third alternative.
55
00:03:00,163 --> 00:03:01,540
I cannot believe
that we can't...
56
00:03:06,795 --> 00:03:10,340
Some kind of large subspace surge
has just activated our security sensors.
57
00:03:10,465 --> 00:03:11,508
Where is it?
58
00:03:11,591 --> 00:03:13,885
Bearing 148 mark 215.
59
00:03:14,011 --> 00:03:15,262
Distance 300 meters.
60
00:03:15,554 --> 00:03:17,097
300 meters?
61
00:03:18,056 --> 00:03:20,267
That's almost inside
our shield perimeter.
62
00:03:20,559 --> 00:03:24,062
From the intensity in the harmonic
signature, it could be a cloaked ship,
63
00:03:24,271 --> 00:03:26,898
but I've never seen an energy
dispersal pattern like this.
64
00:03:27,649 --> 00:03:29,067
It's too close for comfort,
whatever it is.
65
00:03:29,192 --> 00:03:30,652
Red Alert.
Raise shields.
66
00:03:30,777 --> 00:03:31,987
Energize phaser banks.
67
00:03:32,112 --> 00:03:33,780
Stand by to lock
photon torpedoes.
68
00:03:33,864 --> 00:03:35,449
The energy
signature's fluctuating.
69
00:03:35,574 --> 00:03:36,867
It's de-cloaking.
70
00:03:43,707 --> 00:03:45,208
It's definitely
a Federation starship,
71
00:03:45,334 --> 00:03:47,002
but I've never seen
that design before.
72
00:03:47,085 --> 00:03:49,588
A Federation ship
with a cloaking device?
73
00:03:49,796 --> 00:03:50,881
It's hailing us.
74
00:03:51,048 --> 00:03:52,132
On-screen.
75
00:03:53,258 --> 00:03:54,343
Hello, Major.
76
00:03:54,468 --> 00:03:58,055
Sorry to startle you, but I wanted
to test the Defiant's cloaking device.
77
00:03:58,138 --> 00:03:59,264
The Defiant?
78
00:03:59,473 --> 00:04:02,392
I've brought back a little
surprise for the Dominion.
79
00:06:08,602 --> 00:06:11,563
Officially, it's classified
as an escort vessel.
80
00:06:11,771 --> 00:06:14,608
Unofficially,
the Defiant's a warship --
81
00:06:14,691 --> 00:06:17,360
nothing more, nothing less.
82
00:06:17,486 --> 00:06:19,905
I thought Starfleet
didn't believe in warships.
83
00:06:20,197 --> 00:06:23,492
Desperate times breed
desperate measures, Major.
84
00:06:23,742 --> 00:06:26,661
Five years ago, Starfleet
began exploring the possibility
85
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:28,788
of building a new
class of starship.
86
00:06:28,914 --> 00:06:32,292
This ship would have
no families, no science labs,
87
00:06:32,542 --> 00:06:34,294
no luxuries of any kind.
88
00:06:34,544 --> 00:06:36,630
It was designed
for one purpose only --
89
00:06:36,755 --> 00:06:38,924
to fight and defeat the Borg.
90
00:06:39,174 --> 00:06:40,592
The Defiant was a prototype.
91
00:06:40,717 --> 00:06:43,970
The first ship in what would have
been a new Federation battle fleet.
92
00:06:44,221 --> 00:06:45,430
So what happened?
93
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:48,016
The Borg threat
became less urgent.
94
00:06:48,266 --> 00:06:50,393
Also, some design flaws
cropped up
95
00:06:50,519 --> 00:06:52,270
during the ship's
shakedown cruise
96
00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:54,314
so Starfleet decided
to abandon the project.
97
00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:56,233
What sort of design flaws?
98
00:06:56,358 --> 00:06:59,152
You'll have complete access
to the ship evaluation reports,
99
00:06:59,277 --> 00:07:01,488
but to put it simply,
it's overgunned
100
00:07:01,613 --> 00:07:03,740
and overpowered
for a ship its size.
101
00:07:03,865 --> 00:07:06,493
During battle drills,
it nearly tore itself apart
102
00:07:06,576 --> 00:07:08,787
when the engines were tested
at full capacity.
103
00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:11,289
And this is the ship
that Starfleet sends us
104
00:07:11,414 --> 00:07:13,333
to fight off an attack
by the Dominion?
105
00:07:13,583 --> 00:07:15,961
We're not going to fight
the Dominion, Major,
106
00:07:16,086 --> 00:07:18,505
at least, not yet anyway.
107
00:07:19,464 --> 00:07:22,384
Our mission is to take the
Defiant into the Gamma Quadrant
108
00:07:22,467 --> 00:07:25,762
and try to find the leaders
of the Dominion, the Founders.
109
00:07:26,012 --> 00:07:27,847
We have to convince them
that the Federation
110
00:07:27,973 --> 00:07:30,141
does not represent
a threat to them.
111
00:07:30,267 --> 00:07:31,768
What if they don't believe us?
112
00:07:32,310 --> 00:07:34,563
That's why I asked
for the Defiant.
113
00:07:34,813 --> 00:07:37,607
She may have flaws,
but she has teeth,
114
00:07:37,857 --> 00:07:39,192
and I want the Dominion to know
115
00:07:39,317 --> 00:07:42,988
that we can and will defend
ourselves, if necessary.
116
00:07:46,324 --> 00:07:47,951
I've posted two
security officers
117
00:07:48,076 --> 00:07:49,869
at the Defiant's
docking port, sir.
118
00:07:49,953 --> 00:07:52,455
No one will get near the cloaking
device without us knowing about it.
119
00:07:52,581 --> 00:07:53,790
I wasn't informed
120
00:07:53,957 --> 00:07:56,501
about any special
security arrangements.
121
00:07:56,751 --> 00:07:59,296
The security arrangements
were by my request
122
00:07:59,629 --> 00:08:01,256
to protect the cloaking device.
123
00:08:01,339 --> 00:08:03,174
A few introductions
are in order.
124
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:06,344
This is Subcommander T'Rul
from the Romulan Empire.
125
00:08:06,511 --> 00:08:08,138
She's here to operate
the cloaking device
126
00:08:08,305 --> 00:08:11,391
which her government so
kindly loaned us for this mission.
127
00:08:11,641 --> 00:08:14,519
Romulan interests will be
served through cooperation,
128
00:08:14,603 --> 00:08:16,896
and my role is to keep
unauthorized personnel
129
00:08:17,022 --> 00:08:18,940
away from the cloaking device.
130
00:08:19,065 --> 00:08:20,692
May I present my officers.
131
00:08:20,859 --> 00:08:22,152
This is Major Ki...
132
00:08:22,277 --> 00:08:23,862
Thank you,
but I know their names
133
00:08:24,029 --> 00:08:26,072
and I'm not here
to make friends.
134
00:08:29,659 --> 00:08:30,910
Charming.
135
00:08:31,411 --> 00:08:33,663
Well, I am here to make friends.
136
00:08:34,414 --> 00:08:37,208
I'm Lieutenant Commander
Michael Eddington
137
00:08:37,834 --> 00:08:39,336
Starfleet Security.
138
00:08:40,378 --> 00:08:41,838
Major Kira Nerys.
139
00:08:45,467 --> 00:08:49,179
Odo, Head of Station Security.
140
00:08:49,387 --> 00:08:52,766
May I ask what your function
is here, Commander?
141
00:08:53,058 --> 00:08:55,935
There will be a complete
mission briefing at 1800 hours,
142
00:08:56,061 --> 00:08:59,064
but be prepared to depart the
station at 0700 tomorrow morning.
143
00:08:59,356 --> 00:09:00,690
Dismissed.
144
00:09:07,906 --> 00:09:10,659
You needn't brace yourself to give
me unpleasant news, Commander.
145
00:09:10,742 --> 00:09:12,202
I'll save you the trouble.
146
00:09:12,494 --> 00:09:15,080
I've been relieved
as Chief of Security.
147
00:09:19,334 --> 00:09:20,335
Odo, wait!
148
00:09:20,502 --> 00:09:21,503
You've not been relieved.
149
00:09:21,586 --> 00:09:24,589
You're still in charge of all non-Starfleet
security matters aboard this station.
150
00:09:24,714 --> 00:09:26,716
And what about matters
that are Starfleet?
151
00:09:26,841 --> 00:09:29,552
In those areas, you coordinate your
efforts with Commander Eddington.
152
00:09:29,678 --> 00:09:32,847
"Coordinate" is another
way of saying I'll report to him.
153
00:09:34,891 --> 00:09:36,309
I'm sorry, Odo.
154
00:09:36,434 --> 00:09:37,811
This wasn't my idea.
155
00:09:37,936 --> 00:09:40,855
I'm sure it wasn't.
You were just following orders.
156
00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:42,440
An order I strongly
disagreed with.
157
00:09:43,024 --> 00:09:45,193
I did everything
I could to fight this.
158
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,321
I even took it to the Chief
of Starfleet Security herself,
159
00:09:48,446 --> 00:09:50,115
but the decision was final.
160
00:09:50,573 --> 00:09:52,200
May I ask why?
161
00:09:52,575 --> 00:09:53,868
There were some concerns
162
00:09:53,993 --> 00:09:55,912
about several recent
security breaches.
163
00:09:57,288 --> 00:09:59,249
If I was given
the authority I asked for
164
00:09:59,374 --> 00:10:01,960
instead of being tied
to Starfleet regulations,
165
00:10:02,085 --> 00:10:04,546
there wouldn't have been
any security breaches.
166
00:10:04,671 --> 00:10:07,507
Odo, your resistance to
following Starfleet regulations
167
00:10:07,632 --> 00:10:08,883
is part of the problem.
168
00:10:09,217 --> 00:10:12,262
Well, I think there might be a
simpler explanation, Commander.
169
00:10:12,387 --> 00:10:15,932
I think Starfleet decided to bring
in someone they could trust --
170
00:10:16,015 --> 00:10:19,728
someone besides
"the shape-shifter."
171
00:10:20,103 --> 00:10:22,564
This is not a racial issue, Odo.
172
00:10:23,606 --> 00:10:25,775
I understand
how you must feel, and I...
173
00:10:25,859 --> 00:10:26,818
Commander,
174
00:10:26,943 --> 00:10:29,779
I don't require
your understanding.
175
00:10:30,697 --> 00:10:33,491
My resignation will be
logged within the hour.
176
00:10:46,504 --> 00:10:47,422
Hey, hey, hey --
177
00:10:47,547 --> 00:10:48,715
I thought you were unpacking.
178
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,925
I am.
I mean, I was.
179
00:10:51,050 --> 00:10:52,719
But I just kept looking
at the replicator and...
180
00:10:52,802 --> 00:10:55,054
And you just had to have
some I'danian spice pudding.
181
00:10:55,180 --> 00:10:57,557
You know, I still can't believe I
couldn't get a decent bowl back on Earth.
182
00:10:58,308 --> 00:11:01,269
That didn't stop you from ordering
it at every replicator you saw.
183
00:11:01,939 --> 00:11:02,896
So...
184
00:11:03,197 --> 00:11:04,773
is it good to be home?
185
00:11:04,857 --> 00:11:05,732
Yeah.
186
00:11:05,857 --> 00:11:07,609
I can't wait to sleep
in my own bed again.
187
00:11:11,112 --> 00:11:12,906
I wonder when that happened.
188
00:11:13,406 --> 00:11:14,491
What?
189
00:11:14,741 --> 00:11:20,997
When did I start thinking of this
Cardassian monstrosity as home?
190
00:11:21,456 --> 00:11:23,082
I think it happened...
191
00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:24,918
last Thursday.
192
00:11:25,877 --> 00:11:28,171
Around 1700 hours --
193
00:11:28,338 --> 00:11:31,174
when you took all of this stuff
out of storage back on Earth.
194
00:11:31,424 --> 00:11:32,842
I... Careful...
195
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,720
That's a 2,000-year-old
Yoruba mask,
196
00:11:35,804 --> 00:11:38,223
and that "stuff" is one
of the finest collections
197
00:11:38,306 --> 00:11:40,433
- of ancient African art...
- You'll ever see.
198
00:11:40,642 --> 00:11:42,018
I know.
199
00:11:42,143 --> 00:11:43,937
And I also know how much
it means to you.
200
00:11:44,395 --> 00:11:48,650
But, to me, this will always be
the stuff in your library... at home.
201
00:11:49,776 --> 00:11:52,195
When you took it out of storage
so you could bring it here,
202
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,656
it meant that Earth
wasn't home anymore.
203
00:11:54,989 --> 00:11:56,491
This was.
204
00:12:01,371 --> 00:12:02,664
So...
205
00:12:04,290 --> 00:12:05,583
what do you think?
206
00:12:06,751 --> 00:12:08,044
Perfect.
207
00:12:20,139 --> 00:12:22,225
Odo. There you are.
208
00:12:22,308 --> 00:12:24,477
I just finished talking
to the provisional government,
209
00:12:24,561 --> 00:12:26,938
and they want you to go with us
to the Gamma Quadrant tomorrow
210
00:12:27,063 --> 00:12:29,107
to act as an official
Bajoran representative.
211
00:12:30,191 --> 00:12:32,360
- I'm no diplomat.
- I know.
212
00:12:32,443 --> 00:12:33,987
That's why they want you to go.
213
00:12:34,195 --> 00:12:35,572
If we do locate the Founders
214
00:12:35,655 --> 00:12:37,198
we're going to need
more than diplomacy.
215
00:12:37,323 --> 00:12:38,783
We're going to need
to size them up,
216
00:12:38,908 --> 00:12:41,202
see what kind of threat
they pose to Bajor, analyze...
217
00:12:41,327 --> 00:12:44,330
You're the military
expert, Major, not me.
218
00:12:45,498 --> 00:12:47,250
And I doubt
219
00:12:47,375 --> 00:12:49,836
that the provisional
government contacted you
220
00:12:49,961 --> 00:12:52,964
and asked for my presence
on this mission.
221
00:12:53,798 --> 00:12:55,091
If I'm not mistaken,
222
00:12:55,383 --> 00:12:58,595
this is a misguided attempt
to make me feel better.
223
00:12:59,596 --> 00:13:01,347
Maybe it is.
224
00:13:02,849 --> 00:13:04,684
Maybe I'm your friend.
225
00:13:05,685 --> 00:13:09,063
And maybe I want you to see
that you are still needed here...
226
00:13:09,272 --> 00:13:14,152
no matter what some idiot
Starfleet admiral might think.
227
00:13:26,331 --> 00:13:28,917
The Defiant leaves at 700 hours.
228
00:13:43,806 --> 00:13:47,852
I'm a little confused,
Commander.
229
00:13:48,603 --> 00:13:52,148
You want me to go with you
to the Gamma Quadrant
230
00:13:52,482 --> 00:13:55,234
to help you locate the Founders.
231
00:13:55,777 --> 00:13:58,696
See? It's not
so confusing after all.
232
00:13:59,906 --> 00:14:02,283
You're joking with me, aren't you?
Having a little fun with Quark.
233
00:14:02,533 --> 00:14:04,619
- I'm quite serious.
- You can't be.
234
00:14:04,827 --> 00:14:06,496
I'm not a diplomat
235
00:14:06,663 --> 00:14:08,665
or an explorer
or a tactical officer
236
00:14:08,831 --> 00:14:11,376
or whatever else you
might need on this trip.
237
00:14:11,709 --> 00:14:15,463
Now, if you need a caterer,
I'd be happy to loan you
238
00:14:15,588 --> 00:14:17,006
a new replicator
that I just got...
239
00:14:17,173 --> 00:14:19,384
Eight months ago
you helped the Nagus
240
00:14:19,509 --> 00:14:22,595
establish a trade agreement
with the Karemma, uh --
241
00:14:22,971 --> 00:14:25,181
tulaberry wine, I believe.
242
00:14:25,473 --> 00:14:27,725
The Karemma are
part of the Dominion.
243
00:14:27,809 --> 00:14:30,186
A minor part --
a very minor part.
244
00:14:30,269 --> 00:14:33,398
They might still be able to help
us make contact with the Founders.
245
00:14:33,481 --> 00:14:35,733
Since you're experienced
in dealing with the Karemma,
246
00:14:35,817 --> 00:14:37,485
it seems to me that you're
the logical person...
247
00:14:37,568 --> 00:14:39,988
Actually, my brother Rom
did most of the talking.
248
00:14:40,071 --> 00:14:41,739
I think he'd be better suited
for this mission.
249
00:14:41,948 --> 00:14:43,491
Not Rom -- you.
250
00:14:43,700 --> 00:14:44,951
But why?
251
00:14:45,118 --> 00:14:47,412
Rom only has a son
to think about.
252
00:14:47,495 --> 00:14:48,871
I have a business.
253
00:14:49,747 --> 00:14:50,915
You.
254
00:14:53,209 --> 00:14:57,797
I'm sorry, Commander,
but I must refuse.
255
00:14:58,548 --> 00:15:00,466
My last experience
with the Jem'Hadar
256
00:15:00,675 --> 00:15:01,926
was not a pleasant one
257
00:15:02,051 --> 00:15:04,595
and I have no intention
of repeating it.
258
00:15:05,054 --> 00:15:09,684
Now, there's no way you can
legally force me to do this.
259
00:15:15,940 --> 00:15:17,900
The scepter of the Grand Nagus.
260
00:15:17,984 --> 00:15:19,944
I had a chance to discuss
this mission with him
261
00:15:20,069 --> 00:15:21,487
on my way back from Earth.
262
00:15:21,612 --> 00:15:22,989
He seemed to agree with me.
263
00:15:23,114 --> 00:15:26,200
Unless peaceful contact can
be established with the Founders,
264
00:15:26,284 --> 00:15:28,286
business opportunities
in the Gamma Quadrant
265
00:15:28,453 --> 00:15:29,871
might suddenly dry up.
266
00:15:30,371 --> 00:15:32,206
He also agreed with me that you
267
00:15:32,457 --> 00:15:34,417
are the perfect man to help me.
268
00:15:34,876 --> 00:15:36,544
I don't believe it.
269
00:15:36,838 --> 00:15:38,256
Which is why he sent this along.
270
00:15:38,340 --> 00:15:39,564
He thought it might convince you
271
00:15:39,922 --> 00:15:44,260
of the high value he holds
for the success of this mission.
272
00:15:45,636 --> 00:15:46,804
Now...
273
00:15:47,513 --> 00:15:49,098
are you going to defy
274
00:15:49,223 --> 00:15:52,226
the wishes of the Grand Nagus
himself?
275
00:15:52,435 --> 00:15:54,228
No, no... of course not.
276
00:15:54,312 --> 00:15:56,939
I'm happy to serve the Nagus
any way I can.
277
00:15:57,190 --> 00:15:58,149
Thanks, Quark.
278
00:15:58,274 --> 00:15:59,567
I knew I could count on you.
279
00:16:00,318 --> 00:16:01,652
Yeah.
280
00:16:02,403 --> 00:16:03,780
Quark?
281
00:16:04,739 --> 00:16:06,365
Aren't you forgetting something?
282
00:16:08,618 --> 00:16:09,744
Oh.
283
00:16:38,481 --> 00:16:39,899
I just thought
you'd like to know.
284
00:16:40,024 --> 00:16:41,859
The Defiant will be
ready at 0700 hours.
285
00:16:41,943 --> 00:16:43,611
Did it pass
the Chief's inspection?
286
00:16:43,736 --> 00:16:44,779
Does anything?
287
00:16:44,904 --> 00:16:47,115
His maintenance list
is as long as this table.
288
00:16:47,281 --> 00:16:49,492
But he did say it will
take us where we're going.
289
00:16:49,575 --> 00:16:51,327
And back, I hope.
290
00:16:51,410 --> 00:16:53,496
Well, he said
that was up to you.
291
00:16:54,747 --> 00:16:56,624
I'd never have volunteered
for this mission
292
00:16:56,749 --> 00:16:58,876
if I didn't think we had
a chance of coming back.
293
00:16:59,710 --> 00:17:01,504
How many times did
Curzon tell you
294
00:17:01,587 --> 00:17:03,089
never volunteer for anything?
295
00:17:03,381 --> 00:17:06,592
As I recall, Curzon broke
that rule a few times himself.
296
00:17:06,801 --> 00:17:08,719
And regretted it every time.
297
00:17:08,928 --> 00:17:10,304
This is different.
298
00:17:10,972 --> 00:17:12,890
I'd be regretting it even more
299
00:17:13,015 --> 00:17:15,143
if we just waited around
for an invasion.
300
00:17:21,232 --> 00:17:23,609
If I know Starfleet,
they must have run
301
00:17:23,734 --> 00:17:25,820
at least 200 probability studies
302
00:17:25,945 --> 00:17:27,572
on this mission of ours.
303
00:17:28,156 --> 00:17:30,783
So what are the odds
of us succeeding?
304
00:17:31,784 --> 00:17:32,869
Slim.
305
00:17:35,872 --> 00:17:37,582
But better odds
than fighting off
306
00:17:37,707 --> 00:17:39,876
a Jem'Hadar assault
on this station.
307
00:17:39,959 --> 00:17:42,420
And if the station falls,
then Bajor falls
308
00:17:42,587 --> 00:17:44,505
and I will not let that happen.
309
00:17:47,133 --> 00:17:50,469
You know, after Jennifer died,
310
00:17:50,553 --> 00:17:54,807
I never thought I would see you this
passionate about something again.
311
00:17:55,433 --> 00:17:58,477
Two months ago, I would
have agreed with you.
312
00:17:59,145 --> 00:18:01,022
Then I went back to Earth
313
00:18:01,439 --> 00:18:03,691
and I spent all
those weeks debriefing
314
00:18:03,774 --> 00:18:05,860
at Starfleet Headquarters.
315
00:18:06,277 --> 00:18:07,570
And I...
316
00:18:09,238 --> 00:18:12,450
I used to get a thrill
just walking into that building.
317
00:18:13,075 --> 00:18:15,578
I'd look around at
the admirals and think,
318
00:18:15,870 --> 00:18:17,830
"One day, that's going to be me.
319
00:18:17,955 --> 00:18:19,498
"One day, I'm the one
320
00:18:19,624 --> 00:18:22,293
that's going to be making
the big decisions."
321
00:18:24,170 --> 00:18:26,380
Curzon always thought
that was very funny.
322
00:18:26,714 --> 00:18:27,715
Did he?
323
00:18:27,798 --> 00:18:28,966
What I mean is
324
00:18:29,133 --> 00:18:32,470
he could never see a set of
admiral stars on your collar.
325
00:18:32,845 --> 00:18:37,391
He thought that just making the
decisions would never satisfy you.
326
00:18:37,683 --> 00:18:39,518
You had to implement them --
327
00:18:39,769 --> 00:18:43,356
see the results,
face the consequences.
328
00:18:43,940 --> 00:18:46,901
Curzon always thought
you were the kind of man
329
00:18:47,068 --> 00:18:49,320
who had to be
in the thick of things --
330
00:18:49,946 --> 00:18:52,615
not behind some desk
at Headquarters.
331
00:18:56,452 --> 00:19:00,164
He was a smart old man,
wasn't he?
332
00:19:01,165 --> 00:19:02,959
He'd like to think so.
333
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,882
You'd better get
a good night's sleep.
334
00:19:10,591 --> 00:19:13,386
I was just about to say
the same thing to you.
335
00:19:13,761 --> 00:19:15,805
I'll see you
in the morning, Benjamin.
336
00:19:27,583 --> 00:19:29,860
The medical database
is practically nonexistent.
337
00:19:29,986 --> 00:19:32,488
I've downloaded as many of
my files from the station as I can,
338
00:19:32,613 --> 00:19:35,783
but this ship simply wasn't
designed to handle many casualties.
339
00:19:35,908 --> 00:19:37,660
Do the best you can,
and let's hope we don't
340
00:19:37,827 --> 00:19:39,370
have to put your new
database to a test.
341
00:19:39,495 --> 00:19:40,538
Yes, sir.
342
00:19:40,663 --> 00:19:42,164
Quark's settling
into his quarters
343
00:19:42,290 --> 00:19:43,624
and asked me to relay to you
344
00:19:43,749 --> 00:19:46,377
his profound disappointment
in the accommodations,
345
00:19:46,544 --> 00:19:49,463
and to inform you
that he could get you in touch
346
00:19:49,588 --> 00:19:51,966
with several reputable
interior decorators
347
00:19:52,133 --> 00:19:53,676
for a modest fee.
348
00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:55,803
I'll take his offer
under advisement.
349
00:19:56,470 --> 00:19:57,638
Stand by to get underway.
350
00:19:58,097 --> 00:19:59,974
Tactical and communications
are ready, sir.
351
00:20:00,182 --> 00:20:02,059
Navigation and operations,
ready.
352
00:20:02,184 --> 00:20:03,602
Weapons ready.
353
00:20:03,853 --> 00:20:05,062
Impulse engines on-line.
354
00:20:05,187 --> 00:20:06,731
Warp power available
at your command.
355
00:20:07,023 --> 00:20:08,524
Very well.
356
00:20:09,025 --> 00:20:11,527
Seal the airlock,
release docking clamps, aft...
357
00:20:11,611 --> 00:20:12,945
Just a moment, sir.
358
00:20:13,195 --> 00:20:14,780
There's someone in the airlock.
359
00:20:16,073 --> 00:20:17,199
It's Odo.
360
00:20:20,036 --> 00:20:21,245
Sisko to Odo.
361
00:20:21,370 --> 00:20:22,955
Is there a problem, Constable?
362
00:20:23,205 --> 00:20:26,459
No, Commander. I would
like permission to come aboard.
363
00:20:26,542 --> 00:20:29,754
I'm here at the request
of the Bajoran government.
364
00:20:31,422 --> 00:20:32,548
Permission granted.
365
00:20:33,257 --> 00:20:34,467
Thank you, sir.
366
00:20:34,717 --> 00:20:37,303
Dax, we'll have to arrange some
quarters for the Constable.
367
00:20:37,553 --> 00:20:38,763
I'll do it, sir.
368
00:20:38,888 --> 00:20:41,515
I need to go down to what is
laughingly called the Sick Bay.
369
00:20:41,766 --> 00:20:42,683
Thank you, Doctor.
370
00:20:42,808 --> 00:20:43,934
Odo's aboard, sir.
371
00:20:44,101 --> 00:20:45,186
The airlock's clear.
372
00:20:45,603 --> 00:20:47,021
Release docking clamps.
373
00:20:47,146 --> 00:20:48,647
Aft thrusters at one quarter.
374
00:20:48,773 --> 00:20:50,858
Port and starboard
at station keeping.
375
00:21:07,958 --> 00:21:09,418
We've cleared the station.
376
00:21:09,543 --> 00:21:11,212
Lay in a course to the wormhole.
377
00:21:11,337 --> 00:21:13,506
I want to cloak as soon as
we reach the Gamma Quadrant.
378
00:21:13,631 --> 00:21:14,882
Understood.
379
00:21:15,716 --> 00:21:17,218
Course laid in, sir.
380
00:21:17,510 --> 00:21:19,011
Engage.
381
00:21:44,078 --> 00:21:47,623
The cloaking device is operating
within normal parameters.
382
00:21:48,541 --> 00:21:50,626
Set course for
the Karemma system.
383
00:21:50,727 --> 00:21:51,853
Warp 7.
384
00:21:51,961 --> 00:21:52,957
Aye, sir.
385
00:21:53,045 --> 00:21:54,296
Engage.
386
00:21:57,550 --> 00:21:58,467
Odo!
387
00:22:03,264 --> 00:22:04,765
Is this the best you can do?
388
00:22:04,849 --> 00:22:06,350
I'm afraid so.
389
00:22:06,517 --> 00:22:08,853
Most of the crew quarters
don't have life supports yet.
390
00:22:08,978 --> 00:22:10,813
Besides, I think
we'd all feel a bit better
391
00:22:10,938 --> 00:22:13,482
with someone here
to watch over Quark.
392
00:22:13,607 --> 00:22:16,652
I take that as a
personal insult, Doctor.
393
00:22:16,902 --> 00:22:18,320
You should.
394
00:22:18,904 --> 00:22:21,699
Now, I think I'll
let you two bunkmates
395
00:22:21,866 --> 00:22:23,367
get more comfortable.
396
00:22:25,536 --> 00:22:27,288
Am I glad to see you.
397
00:22:27,788 --> 00:22:30,749
I have been stuck down
here in this miserable hole
398
00:22:30,833 --> 00:22:31,917
ever since I came on board.
399
00:22:32,042 --> 00:22:33,252
Bunk beds!
400
00:22:33,335 --> 00:22:34,837
No view.
401
00:22:35,337 --> 00:22:36,797
And I can't tell
you what came out
402
00:22:36,881 --> 00:22:39,175
of that replicator when
I asked for synthehol.
403
00:22:41,177 --> 00:22:42,386
So...
404
00:22:42,511 --> 00:22:45,139
what's your role in
this little adventure?
405
00:22:45,764 --> 00:22:48,267
Providing security, no doubt.
406
00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:50,436
Well, of course you are.
407
00:22:50,519 --> 00:22:53,189
I mean, why else
would you be here?
408
00:22:53,689 --> 00:22:56,567
I can tell you, I
feel much safer now
409
00:22:56,692 --> 00:22:58,777
just knowing you're along
because I know...
410
00:22:58,944 --> 00:23:03,449
I have been holding
this shape for 16 hours.
411
00:23:03,824 --> 00:23:06,827
I have to revert back
to my liquid state
412
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,624
but I don't want you to watch
and gawk at me!
413
00:23:11,832 --> 00:23:14,335
I understand, completely.
414
00:23:15,628 --> 00:23:17,338
This is a very private moment
415
00:23:17,504 --> 00:23:19,298
and I won't interfere.
416
00:23:24,053 --> 00:23:25,721
This won't be so bad...
417
00:23:28,349 --> 00:23:31,018
I have no interest
in speaking to you
418
00:23:31,143 --> 00:23:34,063
or in listening to
your witless prattle!
419
00:23:34,188 --> 00:23:36,398
So stay out of my way
420
00:23:36,732 --> 00:23:40,444
or you'll regret
the day you ever met me!
421
00:23:55,626 --> 00:23:57,836
Commander, long-range sensors
422
00:23:57,962 --> 00:24:00,965
have picked up two Jem'Hadar
warships directly ahead.
423
00:24:01,298 --> 00:24:03,467
They're heading
this way at warp 5.
424
00:24:03,592 --> 00:24:05,552
How close will they pass us?
425
00:24:05,761 --> 00:24:07,263
100,000 kilometers.
426
00:24:08,013 --> 00:24:10,224
That's well within range
of their weapons, Commander.
427
00:24:10,474 --> 00:24:11,892
Should I alter course?
428
00:24:12,184 --> 00:24:15,354
No, we need to know if they can
see through the cloaking device
429
00:24:15,437 --> 00:24:16,981
and this is
as good a time as any.
430
00:24:17,106 --> 00:24:18,511
Maintain course and speed.
431
00:24:18,628 --> 00:24:19,750
Red Alert.
432
00:24:19,942 --> 00:24:21,277
Aye, sir.
433
00:24:22,653 --> 00:24:23,737
Here they come.
434
00:24:23,946 --> 00:24:25,698
They'll pass us in five seconds.
435
00:24:25,823 --> 00:24:27,157
On-screen.
436
00:24:28,909 --> 00:24:30,119
Track them.
437
00:24:30,244 --> 00:24:32,329
They're continuing
on their original heading.
438
00:24:32,538 --> 00:24:34,123
No indication that they saw us.
439
00:24:35,541 --> 00:24:36,333
Wait a minute.
440
00:24:36,625 --> 00:24:37,960
They're changing course.
441
00:24:38,210 --> 00:24:39,295
Heading this way.
442
00:24:39,503 --> 00:24:40,838
They must have seen us.
443
00:24:41,005 --> 00:24:42,589
They're powering
their weapon systems.
444
00:24:42,798 --> 00:24:44,800
Prepare to de-cloak,
lock phasers on the lead ship...
445
00:24:44,967 --> 00:24:46,719
No! We may not have
been detected.
446
00:24:46,844 --> 00:24:47,970
Explain.
447
00:24:48,053 --> 00:24:50,472
A cloaked ship radiates
a slight subspace variance
448
00:24:50,597 --> 00:24:51,724
at warp speeds.
449
00:24:52,016 --> 00:24:53,183
I never heard that.
450
00:24:53,434 --> 00:24:55,936
It's not something we've
been eager to reveal.
451
00:24:56,103 --> 00:24:57,813
I suggest dropping out of warp.
452
00:24:57,938 --> 00:24:59,565
That will eliminate
the variance.
453
00:24:59,690 --> 00:25:02,609
When they reach our position,
they'll find nothing.
454
00:25:04,987 --> 00:25:06,238
Do it.
455
00:25:06,447 --> 00:25:07,489
All stop.
456
00:25:15,914 --> 00:25:17,333
Commander,
they're sweeping the area
457
00:25:17,458 --> 00:25:19,209
with some kind
of an anti-proton scan
458
00:25:19,335 --> 00:25:21,337
and they're being
very thorough about it.
459
00:25:21,545 --> 00:25:24,048
Will an anti-proton scan
penetrate the cloak?
460
00:25:24,298 --> 00:25:25,841
That's a good question.
461
00:25:27,343 --> 00:25:28,927
I'm not sure.
462
00:25:30,471 --> 00:25:31,388
They're getting closer.
463
00:25:32,056 --> 00:25:33,098
Commander.
464
00:25:33,349 --> 00:25:34,850
The Defiant's power signature
465
00:25:34,933 --> 00:25:37,394
is unusually high
for a ship this size.
466
00:25:37,561 --> 00:25:39,980
The cloaking device
may not be masking everything.
467
00:25:42,983 --> 00:25:44,610
Cut main power.
468
00:25:55,496 --> 00:25:56,814
The other one
has broken off its search.
469
00:25:56,898 --> 00:25:57,998
It's headed this way.
470
00:25:58,290 --> 00:26:00,417
Stand by weapons and shields.
471
00:26:19,144 --> 00:26:20,854
They've gone into warp...
472
00:26:21,146 --> 00:26:22,773
and resumed
their original course.
473
00:26:24,483 --> 00:26:27,903
The first thing to go right in the
Gamma Quadrant in a long time.
474
00:26:28,404 --> 00:26:30,406
Let's hope it's not the last.
475
00:26:41,500 --> 00:26:44,837
Ship's Log, Stardate 48212.4.
476
00:26:45,045 --> 00:26:46,797
We have arrived
at the Karemma home world
477
00:26:46,964 --> 00:26:49,091
and opened talks with one
of Quark's business partners
478
00:26:49,258 --> 00:26:52,302
in an effort to contact
the Founders of the Dominion.
479
00:26:53,387 --> 00:26:54,763
The Grand Nagus himself
480
00:26:54,888 --> 00:26:57,474
has sent me as an emissary
on his behalf.
481
00:26:57,599 --> 00:26:59,476
If you aid us in our mission,
482
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,937
I'm authorized to
increase our purchase
483
00:27:02,104 --> 00:27:05,691
of tulaberry wine
to the Karemma by three percent.
484
00:27:05,816 --> 00:27:10,404
Hmm, looks like a
polyduranium alloy blend.
485
00:27:10,487 --> 00:27:13,824
Interesting, but the
metal has no real value.
486
00:27:13,949 --> 00:27:15,826
A three percent
increase is negligible.
487
00:27:15,951 --> 00:27:19,955
I have considerable leeway
to bargain in this circumstance.
488
00:27:20,330 --> 00:27:21,498
Name your terms.
489
00:27:21,665 --> 00:27:23,876
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
490
00:27:24,042 --> 00:27:26,128
The terms are not the issue.
491
00:27:26,211 --> 00:27:27,796
I cannot help you
locate the Founders
492
00:27:27,921 --> 00:27:31,091
because I do not know who
they are or if they even exist.
493
00:27:31,216 --> 00:27:32,426
Nothing.
494
00:27:32,551 --> 00:27:35,345
Ah, here's something
interesting.
495
00:27:35,471 --> 00:27:39,099
Appears to be
diamide-laced beritium.
496
00:27:39,265 --> 00:27:41,768
- I'll give you 52 diraks for it.
- Done.
497
00:27:41,935 --> 00:27:42,895
Quark.
498
00:27:43,020 --> 00:27:45,314
I mean, one bargain
at a time, Ornithar.
499
00:27:45,439 --> 00:27:46,940
We were talking
about the Founders.
500
00:27:47,065 --> 00:27:48,650
There is nothing further to say.
501
00:27:48,734 --> 00:27:49,943
If the Founders exist,
502
00:27:50,068 --> 00:27:52,070
they clearly do not wish
to be contacted
503
00:27:52,154 --> 00:27:53,989
and that is good enough for me.
504
00:27:54,323 --> 00:27:56,492
Who's your contact
in the Dominion
505
00:27:56,617 --> 00:27:59,828
regarding administration,
trade, defense?
506
00:28:00,037 --> 00:28:02,873
Our only contact with the
Dominion has been through the Vorta.
507
00:28:03,081 --> 00:28:05,083
I have no idea
who they report to.
508
00:28:05,167 --> 00:28:08,712
All I know is that the Vorta say
to do something and you do it.
509
00:28:08,837 --> 00:28:09,713
Why?
510
00:28:09,838 --> 00:28:13,091
Because if you do not, they
will send in the Jem'Hadar...
511
00:28:13,383 --> 00:28:15,052
and then you die.
512
00:28:15,427 --> 00:28:17,262
Will you put us in contact
with the Vorta?
513
00:28:17,387 --> 00:28:20,307
Commander, we do only
as we are told, nothing more.
514
00:28:20,432 --> 00:28:23,352
And so far, we have not been
told to help you in any way.
515
00:28:23,644 --> 00:28:25,771
You haven't been told not to,
either.
516
00:28:25,979 --> 00:28:28,023
No, but I prefer to err
on the side of caution.
517
00:28:28,148 --> 00:28:29,942
In this case, being cautious
will cost you
518
00:28:30,067 --> 00:28:31,735
a substantial profit.
519
00:28:31,860 --> 00:28:35,697
The Ferengi will cease purchasing
tulaberry wine immediately.
520
00:28:35,864 --> 00:28:38,784
If you lost such a valuable
contract with the Alpha Quadrant
521
00:28:38,951 --> 00:28:40,244
it might displease the Vorta.
522
00:28:40,369 --> 00:28:43,539
They may even send the Jem'Hadar
to find out what happened.
523
00:28:45,374 --> 00:28:48,877
I will need to access one of
our computers on the surface.
524
00:28:55,634 --> 00:28:57,636
This is the Callinon system.
525
00:28:57,719 --> 00:28:58,971
The Dominion maintains
526
00:28:59,054 --> 00:29:01,890
an unmanned subspace relay
on the seventh planet.
527
00:29:02,015 --> 00:29:03,308
We have been told by the Vorta
528
00:29:03,475 --> 00:29:05,269
to direct
all communications there.
529
00:29:05,477 --> 00:29:09,523
Where the messages are sent
after that is not our concern.
530
00:29:09,815 --> 00:29:12,526
What is that?
531
00:29:13,569 --> 00:29:15,821
It is the Omarion Nebula.
532
00:29:17,072 --> 00:29:20,909
The Omarion Nebula...
533
00:29:24,663 --> 00:29:27,416
If there is nothing else,
I would like to leave now.
534
00:29:27,499 --> 00:29:29,751
- Of course.
- Uh, Commander,
535
00:29:30,252 --> 00:29:32,546
I believe I fulfilled
my role in this mission
536
00:29:32,629 --> 00:29:34,089
so if you don't mind...
537
00:29:34,256 --> 00:29:35,632
You want to stay behind?
538
00:29:35,757 --> 00:29:37,718
That was our agreement.
539
00:29:37,968 --> 00:29:40,220
How can you be sure he won't
turn you over to the Dominion
540
00:29:40,345 --> 00:29:41,680
as soon as we leave?
541
00:29:41,805 --> 00:29:43,348
He may serve the Dominion,
542
00:29:43,432 --> 00:29:46,184
but I'm the one lining
his pockets with latinum.
543
00:29:46,727 --> 00:29:47,978
I'll book passage
544
00:29:48,145 --> 00:29:50,522
on the next ship going
through the wormhole
545
00:29:51,231 --> 00:29:53,650
and, uh, I'll make a profit
in the process.
546
00:29:54,651 --> 00:29:55,902
All right, Quark.
547
00:29:56,028 --> 00:29:57,279
Good luck.
548
00:29:58,405 --> 00:29:59,990
Same to you, Commander.
549
00:30:02,993 --> 00:30:04,786
Lay in a course
for the Callinon system.
550
00:30:04,911 --> 00:30:06,246
Aye, sir.
551
00:30:17,007 --> 00:30:18,300
Come in.
552
00:30:21,386 --> 00:30:22,679
Did I wake you?
553
00:30:23,430 --> 00:30:24,973
Not quite.
554
00:30:25,932 --> 00:30:27,559
What can I do for you, Major?
555
00:30:28,060 --> 00:30:29,436
It's about Odo.
556
00:30:30,812 --> 00:30:32,022
You're worried about him.
557
00:30:32,272 --> 00:30:33,815
Is it that obvious?
558
00:30:34,107 --> 00:30:36,401
No, I'm worried about him, too.
559
00:30:37,194 --> 00:30:40,530
But, at the moment, I don't know
what to do about it.
560
00:30:41,406 --> 00:30:42,908
Can I speak freely?
561
00:30:44,576 --> 00:30:46,453
What the hell is wrong
with Starfleet?!
562
00:30:46,578 --> 00:30:47,996
How could they do this to him?
563
00:30:48,121 --> 00:30:49,998
This has been a long time
coming, Major.
564
00:30:50,123 --> 00:30:52,501
Starfleet has never been
happy with the Constable.
565
00:30:52,626 --> 00:30:55,337
They've been pressing me to
replace him for the last two years.
566
00:30:55,587 --> 00:30:57,172
Because he worked
for the Cardassians.
567
00:30:57,297 --> 00:30:59,007
No, it goes deeper than that.
568
00:30:59,216 --> 00:31:01,134
Odo is not what you'd call
a team player.
569
00:31:01,343 --> 00:31:02,260
Why?
570
00:31:02,427 --> 00:31:04,513
Because sometimes he doesn't
go through the proper channels?
571
00:31:04,721 --> 00:31:05,847
Well, that's a start.
572
00:31:06,014 --> 00:31:07,391
You know Odo.
573
00:31:07,516 --> 00:31:09,851
He enjoys thumbing his nose
at authority.
574
00:31:10,102 --> 00:31:12,354
He files reports
when he feels like it.
575
00:31:12,479 --> 00:31:14,398
His respect for the chain
of command is minimal.
576
00:31:14,523 --> 00:31:15,816
He gets the job done.
577
00:31:16,316 --> 00:31:18,652
Starfleet likes team players.
578
00:31:18,735 --> 00:31:20,612
Starfleet likes
the chain of command
579
00:31:20,737 --> 00:31:22,823
and, frankly, so do I.
580
00:31:23,031 --> 00:31:24,616
So you agree
with their decision?
581
00:31:24,741 --> 00:31:25,992
No, but I understand it.
582
00:31:26,076 --> 00:31:27,953
And when this mission is over,
you're just going to let him go?
583
00:31:28,078 --> 00:31:30,497
Look, Major, I want him
to stay as much as you do,
584
00:31:30,622 --> 00:31:32,374
but he has to want to stay.
585
00:31:32,624 --> 00:31:34,167
Bridge to Commander Sisko.
586
00:31:34,418 --> 00:31:36,253
We've reached
the Callinon system.
587
00:31:36,795 --> 00:31:38,255
On my way.
588
00:31:44,219 --> 00:31:45,971
Ship's Log, supplemental.
589
00:31:46,096 --> 00:31:47,264
The Defiant has cloaked
590
00:31:47,389 --> 00:31:49,683
and assumed standard orbit
around Callinon VII.
591
00:31:49,975 --> 00:31:51,351
I plan to send Dax and O'Brien
592
00:31:51,476 --> 00:31:53,812
down to survey the relay
station on the surface.
593
00:31:54,104 --> 00:31:55,647
According to our sensor sweeps,
594
00:31:55,772 --> 00:31:57,482
it looks like Ornithar
was telling the truth
595
00:31:57,649 --> 00:31:59,526
when he said the relay
station was unmanned.
596
00:31:59,609 --> 00:32:02,988
It also appears there are very
few security measures in place.
597
00:32:03,196 --> 00:32:04,406
Nothing fancy.
598
00:32:04,489 --> 00:32:06,074
Get in, find what we
need and get out.
599
00:32:06,241 --> 00:32:07,951
- Understood.
- On your way.
600
00:32:09,619 --> 00:32:12,038
The transporter will need
six seconds to beam them down.
601
00:32:12,164 --> 00:32:14,499
I want to de-cloak
for exactly six seconds.
602
00:32:14,624 --> 00:32:16,293
Dax to Bridge.
603
00:32:16,418 --> 00:32:17,627
We're ready, Benjamin.
604
00:32:17,711 --> 00:32:18,670
All right.
605
00:32:18,754 --> 00:32:20,088
Disengage cloak.
606
00:32:20,881 --> 00:32:21,965
Energize.
607
00:32:24,885 --> 00:32:26,136
They're on the surface.
608
00:32:26,678 --> 00:32:28,513
Were we scanned
during transport?
609
00:32:29,306 --> 00:32:30,474
I don't think so.
610
00:32:30,558 --> 00:32:31,704
Dax to Defiant.
611
00:32:31,788 --> 00:32:32,809
Go ahead, Dax.
612
00:32:32,893 --> 00:32:35,979
We're in what seems to be
the central computer room.
613
00:32:37,314 --> 00:32:39,107
The user interface
is a little unusual,
614
00:32:39,232 --> 00:32:40,650
but I think we can access it.
615
00:32:40,776 --> 00:32:42,277
Keep us posted.
616
00:32:44,821 --> 00:32:46,490
I'm into the main directory.
617
00:32:46,615 --> 00:32:48,074
That was fast.
618
00:32:48,158 --> 00:32:49,618
Yes, it was.
619
00:32:49,743 --> 00:32:51,703
A bit too fast, if you ask me.
620
00:32:51,912 --> 00:32:55,165
Any indication that we've tripped
some kind of security protocol?
621
00:32:55,248 --> 00:32:57,918
No, I still have
access to everything.
622
00:32:58,376 --> 00:33:01,087
Then let's get the information
and get out of here.
623
00:33:01,213 --> 00:33:02,839
That's fine with me.
624
00:33:09,095 --> 00:33:11,932
I've should have taken Quark
up on his offer for a new replicator.
625
00:33:12,057 --> 00:33:13,892
- Sir?
- Nothing.
626
00:33:14,309 --> 00:33:16,311
Let's make good use
of this time, Major.
627
00:33:16,436 --> 00:33:17,896
Begin running a level-3
diagnostic...
628
00:33:18,021 --> 00:33:19,147
Dax to Defiant.
629
00:33:19,272 --> 00:33:20,649
I think we have something,
Benjamin.
630
00:33:20,857 --> 00:33:22,692
We've accessed
a communications log
631
00:33:22,818 --> 00:33:24,486
of outgoing transmissions.
632
00:33:24,611 --> 00:33:26,029
From the way I read this, sir,
633
00:33:26,112 --> 00:33:28,073
it looks like 80% of
all outgoing traffic
634
00:33:28,156 --> 00:33:29,908
is sent to one location.
635
00:33:30,492 --> 00:33:33,453
It's my guess it's either
another relay station
636
00:33:33,578 --> 00:33:34,955
or a command center.
637
00:33:35,038 --> 00:33:36,706
Do you have the coordinates?
638
00:33:36,832 --> 00:33:38,667
I'm sending them to you now.
639
00:33:41,628 --> 00:33:42,879
We've lost contact with them.
640
00:33:43,004 --> 00:33:44,422
Get them out of there!
641
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:45,882
I can't.
642
00:33:46,007 --> 00:33:47,759
Some kind of shield has
appeared around the outpost.
643
00:33:47,843 --> 00:33:48,969
I can't get through it.
644
00:33:53,158 --> 00:33:55,136
We're picking up three
Jem'Hadar ships, Commander,
645
00:33:55,220 --> 00:33:56,142
heading this way.
646
00:33:56,226 --> 00:33:58,144
Can we punch through the
security shield with our phasers
647
00:33:58,228 --> 00:33:59,771
- before the ships get here?
- I'm not sure.
648
00:33:59,896 --> 00:34:01,231
I've never seen this
kind of field before.
649
00:34:01,356 --> 00:34:03,692
In order to use the
phasers we will have to de-cloak.
650
00:34:03,775 --> 00:34:05,861
That means, we'll be seen
by the Jem'Hadar.
651
00:34:06,027 --> 00:34:07,362
Well, we've got to do something.
652
00:34:07,487 --> 00:34:08,655
We can't just leave them there.
653
00:34:08,905 --> 00:34:10,740
That's exactly
what we should do, Doctor.
654
00:34:10,866 --> 00:34:11,992
Leave them.
655
00:34:12,117 --> 00:34:13,577
We came here to locate
the Founders.
656
00:34:13,785 --> 00:34:16,997
Not to fight the Jem'Hadar over
two expendable crew members.
657
00:34:17,122 --> 00:34:18,915
No one is expendable.
658
00:34:18,999 --> 00:34:20,416
The Jem'Hadar
have entered the system.
659
00:34:20,500 --> 00:34:22,419
They'll be in orbit
in 30 seconds.
660
00:34:32,512 --> 00:34:34,097
Prepare to leave orbit, Major.
661
00:34:34,222 --> 00:34:36,308
- Commander...
- As you were, Doctor.
662
00:34:37,100 --> 00:34:39,936
Lay in a course
to the coordinates Dax sent us.
663
00:34:43,231 --> 00:34:44,482
Course laid in.
664
00:34:44,816 --> 00:34:47,319
Warp 7. Engage.
665
00:35:04,044 --> 00:35:07,297
What do you think will happen
to Dax and O'Brien?
666
00:35:08,106 --> 00:35:10,008
They'll probably be held
for interrogation.
667
00:35:10,550 --> 00:35:12,802
If I know Dax,
she'll use the opportunity
668
00:35:13,011 --> 00:35:16,306
to try to contact the Founders,
and I intend to do the same.
669
00:35:16,681 --> 00:35:19,517
Sisko to Odo.
Report to the Bridge, Constable.
670
00:35:19,768 --> 00:35:21,853
I want to discuss the security
arrangements for our...
671
00:35:21,937 --> 00:35:23,772
I'm presently
indisposed, Commander.
672
00:35:23,897 --> 00:35:26,191
Please find someone else
for the job.
673
00:35:26,524 --> 00:35:28,109
That doesn't sound like Odo.
674
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:29,653
No, it doesn't.
675
00:35:29,736 --> 00:35:31,196
I'd better have a talk with him.
676
00:35:31,321 --> 00:35:32,697
Uh, let me, sir.
677
00:35:33,031 --> 00:35:34,616
I think he'll listen to me.
678
00:35:36,826 --> 00:35:39,287
Three Jem'Hadar ships
have just entered sensor range.
679
00:35:39,371 --> 00:35:41,581
Bearing 037 mark 215.
680
00:35:41,706 --> 00:35:43,416
Is there any sign
they've detected us?
681
00:35:43,541 --> 00:35:44,542
Negative.
682
00:35:44,626 --> 00:35:46,544
Bring us out of warp
and then cut main power.
683
00:35:46,670 --> 00:35:48,672
We'll wait here until they pass.
684
00:35:58,765 --> 00:36:01,643
Odo, it's time we had a talk.
685
00:36:02,185 --> 00:36:05,397
I'm not going to the Bridge,
so you can save your breath.
686
00:36:05,855 --> 00:36:08,650
And I'd appreciate being
left alone right now.
687
00:36:09,734 --> 00:36:12,737
Well, you tried being alone
and it hasn't done any good.
688
00:36:13,029 --> 00:36:16,825
So maybe it's time to stop
brooding and start talking.
689
00:36:18,243 --> 00:36:20,370
Are you the ship's
counselor now?
690
00:36:20,662 --> 00:36:24,207
No... I'm your friend.
691
00:36:24,541 --> 00:36:27,669
You know, the one who comes
to you when she needs help.
692
00:36:31,214 --> 00:36:33,174
I'm just trying
to return the favor.
693
00:36:34,551 --> 00:36:36,302
Well, you can return the favor
694
00:36:36,469 --> 00:36:38,972
by giving me a shuttlecraft
and letting me go.
695
00:36:39,305 --> 00:36:41,808
Go? Go where?
696
00:36:42,183 --> 00:36:43,685
We're in the heart
of the Dominion.
697
00:36:43,768 --> 00:36:46,271
Where the hell do you think
you're gonna go?
698
00:36:47,772 --> 00:36:49,691
The Omarion Nebula.
699
00:36:52,777 --> 00:36:53,903
Why?
700
00:36:54,904 --> 00:36:56,656
I'm not sure why.
701
00:36:56,906 --> 00:36:59,325
I just know I have to,
that's all.
702
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,372
Y-You... you're going to have
to do a lot better than that.
703
00:37:07,584 --> 00:37:08,960
Odo...
704
00:37:09,544 --> 00:37:11,004
talk to me.
705
00:37:11,296 --> 00:37:13,506
Tell me what's going on.
706
00:37:18,344 --> 00:37:21,056
Ever since we've come
into the Gamma Quadrant...
707
00:37:21,806 --> 00:37:26,978
I've had this feeling...
of being drawn somewhere
708
00:37:27,979 --> 00:37:32,859
pulled by some instinct
to a specific place --
709
00:37:34,778 --> 00:37:36,863
the Omarion Nebula.
710
00:37:38,221 --> 00:37:39,276
Why there?
711
00:37:40,492 --> 00:37:41,826
I don't know.
712
00:37:44,454 --> 00:37:45,872
All right.
713
00:37:47,165 --> 00:37:49,501
Once we've contacted
the Founders,
714
00:37:49,751 --> 00:37:51,544
- I'm sure Commander Sisko...
- No!
715
00:37:51,669 --> 00:37:55,381
Not after we've contacted
the Founders -- now!
716
00:37:55,590 --> 00:37:57,342
I have to leave now!
717
00:37:57,425 --> 00:38:00,345
Look, I understand
this is important to you
718
00:38:00,470 --> 00:38:01,763
but we have a mission to...
719
00:38:04,933 --> 00:38:07,143
Direct hit on the port nacelle!
720
00:38:07,393 --> 00:38:09,270
How did they see through
the cloaking device?
721
00:38:09,395 --> 00:38:10,897
They might have analyzed
the sensor information
722
00:38:11,022 --> 00:38:12,440
on the anti-proton scan
723
00:38:12,607 --> 00:38:14,776
and found a way
to penetrate the cloak.
724
00:38:15,443 --> 00:38:17,362
We'll have to save
the speculation for later.
725
00:38:17,612 --> 00:38:21,282
Disengage the cloak, raise the
shields and fire on my command!
726
00:38:36,881 --> 00:38:39,217
Communications
and long-range sensors are out!
727
00:38:39,342 --> 00:38:40,677
What's the status
of the warp drive?
728
00:38:40,802 --> 00:38:42,971
The starboard power coupling
is destroyed!
729
00:38:43,096 --> 00:38:44,889
I'm trying
to reroute main power!
730
00:38:51,479 --> 00:38:53,857
He's gone! I'll take the helm!
731
00:38:55,900 --> 00:38:57,277
Locking onto the lead ship!
732
00:38:57,527 --> 00:38:58,403
Ready?
733
00:38:58,528 --> 00:38:59,654
- Ready!
- Fire!
734
00:39:05,368 --> 00:39:07,370
The other two are moving
out of phaser range.
735
00:39:08,997 --> 00:39:10,915
They're coming back
for another pass.
736
00:39:11,958 --> 00:39:13,418
They're moving
a little slower now.
737
00:39:13,710 --> 00:39:15,461
They'll be
more cautious this time.
738
00:39:15,628 --> 00:39:18,214
Doctor, use
evasive pattern delta-5.
739
00:39:18,339 --> 00:39:21,259
We need to keep them off balance
until we get warp power back.
740
00:39:21,384 --> 00:39:22,427
Aye, sir.
741
00:39:27,974 --> 00:39:29,017
Are you all right?
742
00:39:29,309 --> 00:39:30,476
Just a few bruises.
743
00:39:30,602 --> 00:39:32,020
Kira to Bridge.
744
00:39:32,270 --> 00:39:33,938
Kira to Bridge!
745
00:39:34,647 --> 00:39:36,357
We have to get up there.
746
00:39:38,276 --> 00:39:40,069
T'Rul, where's my warp power?
747
00:39:40,195 --> 00:39:44,032
I can't get the phase inducers
to align with the ODN matrixes!
748
00:39:44,157 --> 00:39:46,201
Commander, three more
Jem'Hadar warships
749
00:39:46,367 --> 00:39:47,577
approaching off the port bow!
750
00:39:48,077 --> 00:39:50,163
Full impulse!
Get us out of here!
751
00:39:51,956 --> 00:39:53,166
We've lost main power.
752
00:39:53,291 --> 00:39:54,751
We've got to get to a shuttle.
753
00:39:54,918 --> 00:39:57,837
Our duty is to get to the Bridge
and help defend the ship.
754
00:39:58,004 --> 00:39:59,339
If main power is out
755
00:39:59,422 --> 00:40:01,007
then the shields are out, Kira.
756
00:40:01,090 --> 00:40:02,383
The ship is defenseless!
757
00:40:15,313 --> 00:40:17,148
Main power is off-line!
758
00:40:17,357 --> 00:40:18,733
The shields have collapsed!
759
00:40:19,150 --> 00:40:21,653
I've lost helm control.
Inertial dampers failing.
760
00:40:23,279 --> 00:40:25,573
Ready escape pods.
Prepare to abandon ship.
761
00:41:26,050 --> 00:41:27,385
Where am I?
762
00:41:29,804 --> 00:41:31,556
You're in a shuttlecraft.
763
00:41:32,140 --> 00:41:33,516
You were wounded.
764
00:41:33,599 --> 00:41:35,310
Try not to move around.
765
00:41:42,108 --> 00:41:44,819
Odo, what happened?
766
00:41:44,944 --> 00:41:46,487
We were under attack.
767
00:41:48,072 --> 00:41:49,574
The ship was boarded.
768
00:41:50,325 --> 00:41:51,909
You were wounded in the attack.
769
00:41:52,118 --> 00:41:54,746
I managed to get us
to the shuttlecraft,
770
00:41:55,496 --> 00:41:57,832
but I don't know
much more than that.
771
00:41:58,750 --> 00:42:00,418
The last time I saw the Defiant
772
00:42:00,585 --> 00:42:03,129
she was dead in space
and surrounded
773
00:42:03,296 --> 00:42:05,006
by Jem'Hadar ships.
774
00:42:06,132 --> 00:42:08,217
Sisko? Bashir?
775
00:42:10,303 --> 00:42:11,763
I don't know.
776
00:42:23,024 --> 00:42:24,400
Where are we?
777
00:42:24,984 --> 00:42:28,780
We're approaching
the Omarion Nebula.
778
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,282
You should have taken us
back to the wormhole.
779
00:42:33,034 --> 00:42:34,577
You didn't object at the time.
780
00:42:34,702 --> 00:42:36,162
I was unconscious.
781
00:42:42,210 --> 00:42:43,336
You found anything?
782
00:42:49,884 --> 00:42:52,053
That's a Class-M planet.
783
00:42:52,709 --> 00:42:53,860
No star system.
784
00:42:54,222 --> 00:42:55,390
A rogue planet?
785
00:42:55,598 --> 00:42:56,933
Yes.
786
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,268
Welcome home.
