Major Kira Nerys
- Major Kira: Commander, there's an incoming priority message from Starfleet Command. It's Admiral Toddman. He's repeating his order not to enter the Gamma Quadrant.
- Commander Sisko: That's what you think it says. How can we be sure when a transmission is as badly garbled as that one?
- Major Kira: ...You're right. There's an awful lot of subspace interference on this channel. Must be an ion storm or something.
- Commander Sisko: Must be.
- Admiral Toddman: His plan looks like it's got a fair chance of success. He's commanding a fleet of twenty ships manned by combat veterans. They know the location of the Founders' homeworld, and they've modified their cloaks, so the Jem'Hadar can't detect their approach.
- Major Kira: It sounds like you're hoping Tain will succeed.
- Admiral Toddman: I never hope for war, Major. But if it comes, I'd rather see the Dominion on the losing side.
- Commander Sisko: I'm afraid I'm going to have to confine you to quarters, Mr. Eddington.
- Lt. Commander Eddington: Sir, if we run into the Jem'Hadar, you're still going to need a chief security officer.
- Major Kira: What makes you think we'll trust you again?
- Lt. Commander Eddington: Because I give you my word.
- Commander Sisko: I make it a policy to never question the word of anyone who wears that uniform. Don't make me change that policy. Man your station, Commander.
