1. Come in.Copy !req
2. Commander,
I just received wordCopy !req
3. that a Valerian transport
has requested permissionCopy !req
4. to dock here at the station.Copy !req
5. Let me guess.Copy !req
6. You're here to recommend
that we deny that request.Copy !req
7. The Valerians ran
weapons-grade dolamideCopy !req
8. to Cardassian forces
during the occupation of Bajor.Copy !req
9. I'm aware of that.Copy !req
10. I believe
they're continuingCopy !req
11. to ship weapons
to the Cardassians—Copy !req
12. weapons that could eventually
be used to attack Bajor.Copy !req
13. I share your concern, Major,
but unless we have proofCopy !req
14. to back up those charges...Copy !req
15. The proof is on that ship.Copy !req
16. Let me conduct a searchCopy !req
17. and if I find any dolamide,
we can confiscate it.Copy !req
18. I'm afraid it's
not that simple.Copy !req
19. Dolamide is used
for power generatorsCopy !req
20. reactors and short-range
transports.Copy !req
21. And for weapons.Copy !req
22. Only if it's
extremely pure.Copy !req
23. So we're going
to do nothing?Copy !req
24. I didn't say that.Copy !req
25. We just can't
board their shipCopy !req
26. and start
tearing it apart.Copy !req
27. Well, what can we do?Copy !req
28. You bring me evidence
that the ValeriansCopy !req
29. are dealing in weapons-
grade dolamideCopy !req
30. and I promise you that
the Federation will useCopy !req
31. every kind of diplomatic
pressure to stop them.Copy !req
32. You really think that'll work?Copy !req
33. It will if the ValeriansCopy !req
34. want to continue trading
with the Federation.Copy !req
35. All right.Copy !req
36. We'll try it your way.Copy !req
37. Good.Copy !req
38. Then you will see to itCopy !req
39. that the Valerian ship
is cleared for docking.Copy !req
40. Yes, sir.Copy !req
41. Chief, I have a subspace message
for you from your wife.Copy !req
42. They've arrived
safely on Bajor.Copy !req
43. Imagine taking
11 bored school kids on a visitCopy !req
44. to the grain-processing center
at Lasuma.Copy !req
45. I'm glad it's not me.Copy !req
46. Major.Copy !req
47. Here's the information
you requestedCopy !req
48. on the Captain
of the Valerian ship.Copy !req
49. Let me know if you
find anything else.Copy !req
50. Sensors are reading elevated
neutrino levels at the wormhole.Copy !req
51. Something's coming through.Copy !req
52. On screen.Copy !req
53. Kira to Sisko.
You better come out here.Copy !req
54. It's the Klingon
Vessel Toh'Kaht.Copy !req
55. They weren't due back
for another month.Copy !req
56. Open hailing frequencies.Copy !req
57. I'm reading
a transporter signal.Copy !req
58. Somebody must have beamed off
the ship just as it exploded.Copy !req
59. Mr. O'Brien?Copy !req
60. Something's interfering with
the rematerialization process.Copy !req
61. Lock onto him
with our transporter signal.Copy !req
62. Try boosting
the annular containment field.Copy !req
63. I'm already there.Copy !req
64. He's been hit
by weapons fire.Copy !req
65. It's severe.Copy !req
66. We've got to get him
to cryostasis.Copy !req
67. Victory.Copy !req
68. He's dead.Copy !req
69. Captioning sponsored by
PARAMOUNT PICTURESCopy !req
70. Station Log, Stardate 46922.3.Copy !req
71. We have identified
the dead Klingon.Copy !req
72. His name was Hon'Tihl,
First Officer of the Toh'Kaht.Copy !req
73. Why he died, and the cause
of the ship's destructionCopy !req
74. is still unknown.Copy !req
75. I found
tritanium alloy fragmentsCopy !req
76. in his chest and upper arms.Copy !req
77. If that were all,
we could have saved himCopy !req
78. but those weapon burns
were too severe.Copy !req
79. Is there any way
to identifyCopy !req
80. the kind
of weapon used?Copy !req
81. I'm running a microtissue
analysis right now.Copy !req
82. I should have the results
in a couple of hours.Copy !req
83. The Klingon saidCopy !req
84. "victory" just
before he died.Copy !req
85. I wonder what he meant.Copy !req
86. According to
Klingon High CommandCopy !req
87. the Toh'Kaht was
in the Gamma QuadrantCopy !req
88. on a routine
bio-survey mission.Copy !req
89. "Victory" during
a bio-survey?Copy !req
90. As I recall, the Toh'Kaht put in
for a maintenance check.Copy !req
91. Ask around the stationCopy !req
92. and see what you can learn
about this bio-survey.Copy !req
93. Dax and O'Brien, I'd like the
two of you to take a runaboutCopy !req
94. and try to find the Toh'Kaht's
mission recorder.Copy !req
95. I want to know what caused
that ship to explode.Copy !req
96. Aye, sir.Copy !req
97. Lieutenant?Copy !req
98. Yes?Copy !req
99. You coming?Copy !req
100. Yes.Copy !req
101. I'm sorry.Copy !req
102. Never mind.Copy !req
103. Damn it, not yet.Copy !req
104. Deep Space 9, this is
Valerian Vessel Sherval Das.Copy !req
105. We are entering
the Bajoran system.Copy !req
106. Clear us for docking.Copy !req
107. Negative, Sherval Das.Copy !req
108. There's going to be
a slight delay.Copy !req
109. We are in need of maintenance.Copy !req
110. It's been a long journey.Copy !req
111. Oh, I'm sure it has,
but we have our own problems.Copy !req
112. You'll just have to wait.Copy !req
113. Stand by, Sherval Das.Copy !req
114. I'd like an explanation.Copy !req
115. I wasn't finished running
a background checkCopy !req
116. on their ship.Copy !req
117. We agreed there
would be no delaysCopy !req
118. in the docking procedure.Copy !req
119. They just visited
Fahleena III and Mariah IV—Copy !req
120. the same two stops
they used to makeCopy !req
121. when they were running
dolamide to the Cardassians.Copy !req
122. The last stop would be
the purification plantCopy !req
123. at Ultima Thule.Copy !req
124. Now, if I can place them thereCopy !req
125. then we know they're running
weapons-grade material.Copy !req
126. Your ship has been
cleared for docking.Copy !req
127. Thank you, Commander.Copy !req
128. Sherval Das out.Copy !req
129. No delays.Copy !req
130. So, QuarkCopy !req
131. I heard you had some
problems with the KlingonsCopy !req
132. the last time
they came through.Copy !req
133. Spare me from beings
who think pain is pleasure.Copy !req
134. In small doses, perhaps,
but the KlingonsCopy !req
135. oh, they're hard
on the holosuites.Copy !req
136. They wreck the furniture.Copy !req
137. I'm still fixing the
walls of Holosuite 6.Copy !req
138. I'm not saying
they don't spend big.Copy !req
139. I'm just saying, by the time
you figure in the damageCopy !req
140. I'm lucky to break even.Copy !req
141. They do tend toward
bluster, don't they?Copy !req
142. Throwing their weight
around, bragging...Copy !req
143. This crew was worse
than the last.Copy !req
144. A glorious mission!Copy !req
145. I said, "What's so gloriousCopy !req
146. about a Gamma Quadrant
bio-survey?"Copy !req
147. And, uh... what did they say?Copy !req
148. Crafty tonight, Odo, aren't we?Copy !req
149. Looking for clues about
the fate of the Klingons?Copy !req
150. If I tell you what I heard...Copy !req
151. what do I get in return?Copy !req
152. The chances are
what you heard won't helpCopy !req
153. so why should I give you
something for it?Copy !req
154. Because otherwise,
I heard nothing.Copy !req
155. That damaged holosuite—Copy !req
156. work crew seven
is probably doing the repairs.Copy !req
157. Am I right?Copy !req
158. Uh-huh.Copy !req
159. Well, it looks as though
I might have to put inCopy !req
160. a priority request
for work crew seven.Copy !req
161. The bulkheads in securityCopy !req
162. could use
a little shoring up.Copy !req
163. They said...Copy !req
164. they'd be coming back
through the wormholeCopy !req
165. with somethingCopy !req
166. that would make the enemies
of the Klingon Empire tremble.Copy !req
167. Their exact words?Copy !req
168. Direct quote.Copy !req
169. You've been most helpful.Copy !req
170. Don't let it get around.Copy !req
171. Odo?Copy !req
172. Dr. Bashir!Copy !req
173. Dr. Bashir!Copy !req
174. Dr. Bashir!Copy !req
175. Welcome back, Constable.Copy !req
176. How am I?Copy !req
177. How do you feel?Copy !req
178. Fine.Copy !req
179. Good, because I have
no way to know.Copy !req
180. Your body chemistry
defies analysis.Copy !req
181. I don't remember anythingCopy !req
182. but I'm back to normal?Copy !req
183. Well, like I said,
you tell me.Copy !req
184. I don't know
what caused itCopy !req
185. and I couldn't tell you
if it'll happen again.Copy !req
186. In fact, there's really
nothing more I can do here.Copy !req
187. Then thank you
for your time, Doctor.Copy !req
188. Tell me, Odo.Copy !req
189. Do you share my concern
over this Valerian situation?Copy !req
190. Concern?Copy !req
191. I think you know what I mean.Copy !req
192. Why don't you tell me.Copy !req
193. Then you can be sure I know.Copy !req
194. Just don't be surprisedCopy !req
195. if the uneasy alliance
on this stationCopy !req
196. starts to show a few cracks.Copy !req
197. What uneasy alliance?Copy !req
198. Commander Sisko and Kira.Copy !req
199. Mark my words,
there's going to be trouble.Copy !req
200. What exactly are you basing
all this on, Doctor?Copy !req
201. Very clever, Constable.Copy !req
202. But you're probably right.Copy !req
203. It's a little too early
to commit oneself either way.Copy !req
204. Are you finished with me?Copy !req
205. Well, unless you'd like
to pour yourselfCopy !req
206. through my phoretic analyzer.Copy !req
207. I'd love to see the results.Copy !req
208. Another time, perhaps.Copy !req
209. I've got them.Copy !req
210. Who?Copy !req
211. The Valerians.Copy !req
212. Their ship was at the Ultima
Thule station one week ago.Copy !req
213. That confirms it.Copy !req
214. They're definitely
running dolamide.Copy !req
215. So?Copy !req
216. So I've got an armed teamCopy !req
217. ready to board their vessel.Copy !req
218. Confiscate the materialCopy !req
219. and send them back
where they came from.Copy !req
220. Frankly, I'm half-tempted
to take them to BajorCopy !req
221. and press charges.Copy !req
222. By whose authority?Copy !req
223. You're not going to do
anything about this.Copy !req
224. I'm not...Copy !req
225. and neither are you.Copy !req
226. That ship is acting
against Bajoran interests.Copy !req
227. This station
is Bajoran property.Copy !req
228. Commanded
by a Federation officer.Copy !req
229. Commanded by me.Copy !req
230. Are you challenging that, Major?Copy !req
231. No, sir.Copy !req
232. Good.Copy !req
233. Short-range sensors
are picking up some debris.Copy !req
234. Looks like
duranium alloy.Copy !req
235. Probably pieces of the
Klingon secondary hull.Copy !req
236. It's possible
their mission recorderCopy !req
237. is somewhere in the debris.Copy !req
238. The magnetic field
from the duraniumCopy !req
239. could be masking it.Copy !req
240. Let's get a little closer.Copy !req
241. Major Kira's become
awfully aggressiveCopy !req
242. toward Commander Sisko
lately about station policy.Copy !req
243. An honest
difference of opinion.Copy !req
244. What if it's more
than a difference of opinion?Copy !req
245. What if Kira thinks the Bajorans
don't need us on DS9?Copy !req
246. It is their station.Copy !req
247. That would be suicidal.Copy !req
248. Without a Federation presence,
Bajor would be vulnerableCopy !req
249. again
to the Cardassians.Copy !req
250. Well, that doesn't meanCopy !req
251. there aren't plenty
of misguided BajoransCopy !req
252. who think they
can go it alone.Copy !req
253. You've become quite friendly
with Major Kira, haven't you?Copy !req
254. Have I?Copy !req
255. Well, yes, I suppose I have,
if you say so.Copy !req
256. Well, I wouldn't getCopy !req
257. too friendly with the natives,
if I were you.Copy !req
258. Remember
where your loyalties lie.Copy !req
259. Of course.Copy !req
260. Benjamin and I have been close
for a long time.Copy !req
261. Hand and glove.Copy !req
262. I'm on his side—
no question about it.Copy !req
263. That reminds meCopy !req
264. of the time we found...
Good.Copy !req
265. Anyone who's against Sisko
is against me.Copy !req
266. I'm picking upCopy !req
267. a weak subspace
transponder signal.Copy !req
268. It's the mission recorder.Copy !req
269. Constable.Copy !req
270. Can I help
you, Major?Copy !req
271. Oh, you always manage
to help me, Odo.Copy !req
272. In fact, I think we work
pretty well togetherCopy !req
273. you and I.Copy !req
274. Yes, I suppose
our relationshipCopy !req
275. has always been...
cooperative.Copy !req
276. Exactly.Copy !req
277. And that's just what
I need right now—Copy !req
278. your cooperation.Copy !req
279. I'm convinced the Valerians
have dolamide on boardCopy !req
280. but the evidence is
still circumstantial.Copy !req
281. I need solid proof.Copy !req
282. I want you to slipCopy !req
283. past their
security systemsCopy !req
284. and into their
cargo bay.Copy !req
285. I heard that Commander Sisko
was adamantCopy !req
286. about not interfering
with the Valerian ship.Copy !req
287. Has he changed his mind?Copy !req
288. Yes.Copy !req
289. How odd.Copy !req
290. Very well.Copy !req
291. I'll keep the two of you
informed about my progress.Copy !req
292. That won't
be necessary.Copy !req
293. Commander Sisko's very busy.Copy !req
294. No sense in disturbing him.Copy !req
295. I can't fool you, Odo.Copy !req
296. You wanted me to go
behind Sisko's back, didn't you?Copy !req
297. Forget it.Copy !req
298. Bad idea.Copy !req
299. What if you had
to choose sides?Copy !req
300. Just remember who
your friends are.Copy !req
301. Personal Log, Miles O'Brien.
Stardate 46923.1.Copy !req
302. We've managed to retrieveCopy !req
303. a portion of
the Klingon officer's journal.Copy !req
304. Of course, Major Kira
heard about it immediately.Copy !req
305. She must have spies everywhere.Copy !req
306. I believe the Captain
has gone insane.Copy !req
307. He executed
two more crew members...Copy !req
308. medical officer...
my quarters...Copy !req
309. violenceCopy !req
310. is being created by those...Copy !req
311. energy spheres we brought back
from Saltah'na.Copy !req
312. Believing him
to be the Captain's spyCopy !req
313. I slit...Copy !req
314. I've seen enough.Copy !req
315. There's more.Copy !req
316. Klingons' mission
must have failed.Copy !req
317. That failure caused
problems on board.Copy !req
318. I couldn't care less
what happened to a Klingon ship.Copy !req
319. Well, the Klingons
might want to know.Copy !req
320. Dax and I have set up
a data interpolationCopy !req
321. to fill in
what's missing.Copy !req
322. It might take some time.Copy !req
323. If you have to.Copy !req
324. The search itself
is often reward enough.Copy !req
325. Benjamin, do you
remember that...Copy !req
326. Fine.
Do whatever you have to do.Copy !req
327. Don't bother me with it.Copy !req
328. Ah...Copy !req
329. Here we are.Copy !req
330. A Modela aperitif.Copy !req
331. It's bright and sweet.Copy !req
332. Much like yourself,
Lieutenant.Copy !req
333. I'll put it
on your tab.Copy !req
334. The bad flattery's
on the house.Copy !req
335. The two loveliest
creatures on DS9.Copy !req
336. I must be living correctly
to be so...Copy !req
337. so blessed.Copy !req
338. What can I do for you, Major?Copy !req
339. Get lost.Copy !req
340. As you wish.Copy !req
341. How are you, Lieutenant?Copy !req
342. You know what they say—Copy !req
343. put the shoe
on the right foot firstCopy !req
344. but put the left foot first
into the bathtub.Copy !req
345. I understand.Copy !req
346. But what I really
meant was...Copy !req
347. are you happy?Copy !req
348. That's not a question
I get asked very often.Copy !req
349. Oh, but it should be.Copy !req
350. In my opinionCopy !req
351. you are the most valuable
officer on this station.Copy !req
352. May I?Copy !req
353. Please.Copy !req
354. Not bad.Copy !req
355. For Quark.Copy !req
356. It is good.Copy !req
357. I couldn't imagine running
this station without you.Copy !req
358. Are you trying
to tell me something?Copy !req
359. My disagreement
with SiskoCopy !req
360. over the Valerians
is no secret.Copy !req
361. Well, you know how he gets
once he's made a decision.Copy !req
362. Yeah, it's
like talking to a stone.Copy !req
363. I remember a time...
on Rochani IIICopy !req
364. we were cornered
by a party of KaleansCopy !req
365. who were not very happy
to see us, but Benjamin...Copy !req
366. Y-You told me this
story this morning.Copy !req
367. Oh.Copy !req
368. I suppose I did.Copy !req
369. If you were to talk
to Starfleet CommandCopy !req
370. tell them how displeased
the Bajorans areCopy !req
371. with Sisko's handling of this.Copy !req
372. I know they'll listen to you.Copy !req
373. I was decorated
on my very first mission.Copy !req
374. The Admiral was a Vulcan.Copy !req
375. So during
the presentation ceremony...Copy !req
376. Dax.Copy !req
377. We have to keep
the Valerians hereCopy !req
378. until we can search the ship
and confiscate the dolamide.Copy !req
379. You've got to convince
Starfleet.Copy !req
380. It's for the good of Bajor...
and the Federation.Copy !req
381. I've been friends
with Benjamin SiskoCopy !req
382. for... many years.Copy !req
383. In many ways,
he's like a son...Copy !req
384. or a nephew.Copy !req
385. Some kind of close relative,
anyway.Copy !req
386. Jadzia, listen to me.Copy !req
387. I'm getting rid of Sisko,
one way or the other.Copy !req
388. Don't force me to get
rid of you as well.Copy !req
389. Would you like to join us?Copy !req
390. Let me go!Copy !req
391. What did you hear?Copy !req
392. Nothing.Copy !req
393. Nothing at all.Copy !req
394. Good.Copy !req
395. Is this a Ferengi fashion
I'm not aware of?Copy !req
396. Kira tried to tear my head off.Copy !req
397. I want to file charges.Copy !req
398. Tell me about it.Copy !req
399. I heard her plotting.Copy !req
400. Go on.Copy !req
401. She tried to convince Dax
to take her side against Sisko.Copy !req
402. And did Dax seem persuaded?Copy !req
403. What difference does that make?Copy !req
404. I was attacked!Copy !req
405. Answer the question.Copy !req
406. I... I couldn't tell.Copy !req
407. She was on the fence.Copy !req
408. Doesn't Kira's behavior seem
a little out of the ordinary?Copy !req
409. And the others...Copy !req
410. at the staff briefing,
Sisko was boredCopy !req
411. as if he couldn't be bothered
about running the station.Copy !req
412. And Bashir...Copy !req
413. since when is he so concerned
about station politics?Copy !req
414. Don't look at me that way.Copy !req
415. I'm perfectly normal.Copy !req
416. Yes, I suppose you are.Copy !req
417. It's time
I had a talk with Sisko.Copy !req
418. Odo, wait!Copy !req
419. Odo!Copy !req
420. Wait, Odo!Copy !req
421. Odo!Copy !req
422. I want satisfaction!Copy !req
423. We have... battle
for decks... 12.Copy !req
424. armory... in the hands...
Captain Tel'PehCopy !req
425. my death.Copy !req
426. But still, I... confidentCopy !req
427. gain control
of this ship.Copy !req
428. I am weakened by my wounds.Copy !req
429. Sisko?Copy !req
430. my enemies closing in.Copy !req
431. Still... hide...Copy !req
432. Come in.Copy !req
433. First Officer's Journal, Day 26.Copy !req
434. Where's Commander Sisko?Copy !req
435. In his quarters
where he's safe.Copy !req
436. Still... been able to hide
a thalmerite deviceCopy !req
437. under... beam near
the reactor... deck 26.Copy !req
438. Rather... taken prisonerCopy !req
439. I will blow up this ship
and transport to safety.Copy !req
440. Perhaps Medical Officer Kee'Bhor
was correct.Copy !req
441. Our... began when we opened
those energy spheres.Copy !req
442. All I know
is that Captain Tel'PehCopy !req
443. must die!Copy !req
444. Journal closed.Copy !req
445. Sounds likeCopy !req
446. there was a power struggle
on board.Copy !req
447. Some sort of attempted takeover.Copy !req
448. Management by mutiny.Copy !req
449. Standard operating procedure
on a Klingon vessel.Copy !req
450. But awfully unusualCopy !req
451. for a Federation-run
space station.Copy !req
452. Don't worry.Copy !req
453. If Major Kira tries anything,
we'll be ready.Copy !req
454. When will the other log entries
be available?Copy !req
455. At the current rateCopy !req
456. of processing, it'll take
at least seven more hours.Copy !req
457. But the computer's taking it
one entry at a time.Copy !req
458. I'll set it up
so you can access it as it goes.Copy !req
459. Thank you, Chief.Copy !req
460. Of course,
Constable.Copy !req
461. Don't the Commander and ICopy !req
462. always try to make you happy?Copy !req
463. What are you doing here?Copy !req
464. Chief O'Brien's orders.Copy !req
465. Come in.Copy !req
466. Commander.Copy !req
467. Hello, Constable.Copy !req
468. How are you today?Copy !req
469. Concerned, sir.Copy !req
470. On such a fine afternoon?Copy !req
471. How inappropriate.Copy !req
472. Commander, I think
something might be wrongCopy !req
473. with... some of us.Copy !req
474. Ever since the Klingon ship
explodedCopy !req
475. and their First Officer
beamed overCopy !req
476. certain behaviors and attitudes
have been... abnormal.Copy !req
477. There appears
to have beenCopy !req
478. a mutiny on the
Klingon ship.Copy !req
479. I wouldn't go
so far as to sayCopy !req
480. the same thing is
happening on DS9Copy !req
481. but I... do find some
disturbing parallels.Copy !req
482. If something's
bothering you, OdoCopy !req
483. tell it to Mr. O'Brien.Copy !req
484. That's what he's there for.Copy !req
485. What do you think?Copy !req
486. What is it?Copy !req
487. A clock.Copy !req
488. Fascinating, isn't it?Copy !req
489. It's not nice
to keep a friend waiting.Copy !req
490. Did we have an appointment?Copy !req
491. When have I ever had to stand
on ceremony with you, Odo?Copy !req
492. I need your help.Copy !req
493. I took care of the Valerians.Copy !req
494. What do you mean?Copy !req
495. I locked down
their docking clamps.Copy !req
496. That ship isn't leaving
until I say it is.Copy !req
497. O'Brien will need at least a day
to do anything about it.Copy !req
498. By then, it won't matter.Copy !req
499. You're going after Sisko.Copy !req
500. And O'Brien.Copy !req
501. Either we get a more reasonable
Commander from Starfleet—Copy !req
502. someone we can control—Copy !req
503. or we go it alone.Copy !req
504. With me running this placeCopy !req
505. you will be able to do
what needs to be done.Copy !req
506. If you want to toss
Quark out on his earsCopy !req
507. toss him out.Copy !req
508. If you want to proclaim
martial lawCopy !req
509. on the Promenade,
proclaim it.Copy !req
510. This station will be yours
to protectCopy !req
511. with no interference.Copy !req
512. What's your plan?Copy !req
513. Oh, Odo...Copy !req
514. I trust you more than
anyone on this stationCopy !req
515. because you can't
be corrupted.Copy !req
516. But this is
a dangerous time.Copy !req
517. I can't take any
chances, even with you.Copy !req
518. When the time comesCopy !req
519. you'll know it.Copy !req
520. I'll be counting on you.Copy !req
521. Computer, open a channel
to Starfleet Headquarters.Copy !req
522. Subspace communication
to Federation territoriesCopy !req
523. is currently unavailable.Copy !req
524. Why?Copy !req
525. By authority of Major Kira.Copy !req
526. Ah...Copy !req
527. Open a channel
to the Bajoran Council.Copy !req
528. Communication to Bajor
is currently unavailable.Copy !req
529. By authority of Chief O'Brien.Copy !req
530. That is correct.Copy !req
531. Computer, are you finished
reconstructing the journalCopy !req
532. of the Klingon First Officer?Copy !req
533. Data interpolation is complete.Copy !req
534. On screen.Copy !req
535. Computer, scan the journalCopy !req
536. for mention of contact
with any alien race.Copy !req
537. One entry found.Copy !req
538. Play it.Copy !req
539. First Officer's Journal, Day 22.Copy !req
540. Exploration of the fifth planet
proved to be a waste of time.Copy !req
541. This world is not worthy
of a Klingon colony.Copy !req
542. All we found were
a collection of energy spheresCopy !req
543. which possess some type
of telepathic archive.Copy !req
544. The spheres described
an ancient power struggleCopy !req
545. that destroyed a race
called the Saltah'na.Copy !req
546. We will forward our results
to our science division.Copy !req
547. Kira's already locked
down the Valerian shipCopy !req
548. and she's divertedCopy !req
549. half the station's systems
to her control.Copy !req
550. Since when?Copy !req
551. An hour ago.Copy !req
552. I've heard some
disturbing rumorsCopy !req
553. from our people
on the Promenade.Copy !req
554. I think she's going to make
an attempt on your life.Copy !req
555. I want you to arrest them—Copy !req
556. Kira and every Bajoran
officer on this station.Copy !req
557. I want the name
of every sympathizer.Copy !req
558. That's not
a good idea, sir.Copy !req
559. There's a lot more of them
than there are of us.Copy !req
560. If we tip our hand,
it might work against us.Copy !req
561. What can we do?Copy !req
562. Leave the station.Copy !req
563. Never! Get me a phaser!Copy !req
564. I'll get rid of Kira!Copy !req
565. Hear me out, sir.Copy !req
566. We leave the station,
raise a Federation attack forceCopy !req
567. and return.Copy !req
568. And, on that dayCopy !req
569. we'll get rid
of all your enemies.Copy !req
570. How do we proceed?Copy !req
571. I'll need a few more hours
to free up the Valerian ship.Copy !req
572. I've already talked
to their Captain.Copy !req
573. He's more than happy to take us
back to Federation space.Copy !req
574. Call me as soon as you're ready.Copy !req
575. It'll take effect
in two minutes.Copy !req
576. Plenty of time
to get a good...Copy !req
577. Plenty of time for you
to get a good night's sleep.Copy !req
578. Thank you, Doctor.Copy !req
579. Chronic insomnia.Copy !req
580. I think it's hormonal.Copy !req
581. So, how are you?Copy !req
582. I take it you've completed
your autopsy of the Klingon.Copy !req
583. Of course.Copy !req
584. You know, OdoCopy !req
585. events have been moving
rather rapidlyCopy !req
586. since our last conversation.Copy !req
587. I'd advise you
to choose sides nowCopy !req
588. or risk finding yourself
without any friends at all.Copy !req
589. The Klingon, Doctor—
what did you find?Copy !req
590. He's still dead, if
that's what you mean.Copy !req
591. I don't have time
for jokes.Copy !req
592. Your findings could determine
who controls this station.Copy !req
593. How?Copy !req
594. All in good time.Copy !req
595. First, tell me
about the Klingon.Copy !req
596. Well, I found
nothing very unusual.Copy !req
597. The columnar cells
in his brain stem, perhaps.Copy !req
598. The membrane permeability
was off.Copy !req
599. What could cause that?Copy !req
600. Any number of things.Copy !req
601. Could it have something
to do with telepathy?Copy !req
602. The Klingons were studying
the telepathic archivesCopy !req
603. of an ancient race.Copy !req
604. If those archives
were containedCopy !req
605. in a self-sustaining
energy matrixCopy !req
606. that could explain the changes
in the Klingon's brain.Copy !req
607. Could that energy matrix
have somehow caused themCopy !req
608. to reenact the power struggle
that destroyed the Saltah'nans?Copy !req
609. Possibly.Copy !req
610. What are you getting at?Copy !req
611. Doctor, I believe
the KlingonCopy !req
612. brought the matrix
with himCopy !req
613. and everyone in Ops
was affected except me.Copy !req
614. Without a humanoid brain,
my system rejected it.Copy !req
615. An interesting theory,
ConstableCopy !req
616. but I'm certainly not behaving
out of the ordinary.Copy !req
617. Of course notCopy !req
618. but what if you and ICopy !req
619. are the only two
who aren't affected?Copy !req
620. Do you think we could use this
to our advantage?Copy !req
621. Exactly.Copy !req
622. Tell me your plan.Copy !req
623. The first thing we have to do
is figure outCopy !req
624. how to remove the field
from everyone affected.Copy !req
625. Then we'd lose our advantage.Copy !req
626. Would you prefer that someone
blew up the station?Copy !req
627. I see your point.Copy !req
628. The power to controlCopy !req
629. the energy matrixCopy !req
630. is the power
to control this station.Copy !req
631. If I could determine the natural
resonance frequenciesCopy !req
632. of this telepathic fieldCopy !req
633. I might be able to generate
an interference signalCopy !req
634. which could drive it out.Copy !req
635. Do it.Copy !req
636. I promise, Doctor,
you won't regret it.Copy !req
637. O'Brien, what's taking so long?Copy !req
638. Almost there, sir.Copy !req
639. We've got one more levelCopy !req
640. of security lockouts
to break throughCopy !req
641. and the Valerian ship
will be ready to go.Copy !req
642. Commander, I have
the report you asked forCopy !req
643. on those weapon scanners.Copy !req
644. Give it to Mr. O'Brien.Copy !req
645. I really think you
should see this, sir.Copy !req
646. Commander!Copy !req
647. Dax to Kira.Copy !req
648. Is it Kira?Copy !req
649. Did Kira put you
up to this?Copy !req
650. No.Copy !req
651. I want the truth!Copy !req
652. Is that clear?Copy !req
653. Let's see how this works.Copy !req
654. Put it down...Copy !req
655. sir.Copy !req
656. Take them.Copy !req
657. Dax, you were supposed
to deactivate the transporter.Copy !req
658. I forgot.Copy !req
659. Damn it, Kira must have
set up a force fieldCopy !req
660. to keep us from beaming
onto the Valerian ship.Copy !req
661. The transporter
rerouted us here.Copy !req
662. We've got to get
to that ship.Copy !req
663. Odo's our only chance.Copy !req
664. He might be able
to override the field.Copy !req
665. You're sure we
can trust him?Copy !req
666. I don't see
that we have any choice.Copy !req
667. Sisko to Odo.Copy !req
668. Odo here.Copy !req
669. Kira has moved against us.Copy !req
670. She has Dax on her side.Copy !req
671. We need your
help, Constable.Copy !req
672. You've got to clear us a path
to the Valerian ship.Copy !req
673. Take Crossover Bridge 1
to the cargo bay entranceCopy !req
674. into Docking Port Four.Copy !req
675. I'll keep it open for you.Copy !req
676. Right. Sisko out.Copy !req
677. Leave your combadge here.Copy !req
678. Don't look so
worried, Chief.Copy !req
679. She hasn't beaten us yet.Copy !req
680. Yes, sir.Copy !req
681. They're still
in Airlock Corridor 6.Copy !req
682. What could they
be doing in there?Copy !req
683. Maybe they've given up.Copy !req
684. Sisko would
rather die...Copy !req
685. which is fine with me.Copy !req
686. Oh...Copy !req
687. they must have taken
off their combadges.Copy !req
688. That's all right.Copy !req
689. They won't get far.Copy !req
690. Someone's taking out
our force fields.Copy !req
691. Whoever it is knows how
to override the security codes.Copy !req
692. Kira to Odo.Copy !req
693. Go ahead, Major.Copy !req
694. Whose side are you on,
Constable?Copy !req
695. Yours, of course.Copy !req
696. Really?Copy !req
697. Then why are you helping
Sisko escape?Copy !req
698. On the contrary.Copy !req
699. You'll find him trapped
in Cargo Bay 4.Copy !req
700. Consider it my gift to you.Copy !req
701. Oh, my apologies.Copy !req
702. We'll see you there.Copy !req
703. Kira out.Copy !req
704. Well done.Copy !req
705. You certainly fooled her,
didn't you, Constable?Copy !req
706. We're running out
of time, Doctor.Copy !req
707. I'm just about finished.Copy !req
708. I've set up an ionic
interference signalCopy !req
709. in Cargo Bay 4,
calibrated to lock onCopy !req
710. to the resonance frequencies
of the telepathic fieldCopy !req
711. and drive it out
of all those affected.Copy !req
712. And what will happen
to it then?Copy !req
713. Well, it'll remain suspendedCopy !req
714. as long as the interference
is in effect.Copy !req
715. That's all I
need to know.Copy !req
716. Let's go.Copy !req
717. What's wrong?Copy !req
718. It's been sealed.Copy !req
719. I wouldn't do that, sir.Copy !req
720. You might run into Kira.Copy !req
721. She must have realized
we removed our combadges by now.Copy !req
722. It's completely locked down.Copy !req
723. Someone's activated
a level-5 security protocol.Copy !req
724. There's only one other person
on this station besides yourselfCopy !req
725. has that kind of access.Copy !req
726. Odo!Copy !req
727. Relax, Commander.Copy !req
728. He'll be here any minute.Copy !req
729. So, this is how it all ends.Copy !req
730. For you.Copy !req
731. You know what disturbs me?Copy !req
732. The ingratitude.Copy !req
733. I offered you my kindness,
my help, my leadershipCopy !req
734. and how do you repay me?Copy !req
735. With betrayal.Copy !req
736. But you won't
get rid of me so easily.Copy !req
737. You see, unlike you,
I understand history.Copy !req
738. My name will blaze
across the starsCopy !req
739. long after your petty
treacheries have been forgotten.Copy !req
740. But you won't
be here to see it.Copy !req
741. Major, wait!Copy !req
742. Glad you two could make it.Copy !req
743. Computer, execute Odo One.Copy !req
744. Constable?Copy !req
745. Everybody grab hold
of something secure.Copy !req
746. Welcome back, everybody.Copy !req
747. Commander's Log,
Stardate 46924.5.Copy !req
748. With nothing to contain itCopy !req
749. the telepathic matrix
has dispersed in space.Copy !req
750. Meanwhile, I'm happy to reportCopy !req
751. everything and everyone
aboard DS9Copy !req
752. has returned to normal.Copy !req
753. Did you really build that?Copy !req
754. Apparently so.Copy !req
755. Why?Copy !req
756. I have no idea.Copy !req
757. I know that none of us
was really responsibleCopy !req
758. for our actions, but...Copy !req
759. I feel I owe you an apology.Copy !req
760. For attempted mutiny.Copy !req
761. Well...Copy !req
762. yes.Copy !req
763. I think we'll let it go...Copy !req
764. this time.Copy !req
