Commander Benjamin 'Ben' Sisko
- Commander Sisko: [Back on DS9, after returning from the Gamma Quadrant] There is still no indication that any Romulan or Cardassian vessels survived the attack.
- Admiral Toddman: [on the monitor] Sounds like Wolf 359 all over again.
- Commander Sisko: I had the same thought.
- Admiral Toddman: [For disobeying the Admiral's order not to interfere with the attack on the Founders world] You may be interested to know I've decided not to file charges against anyone aboard the Defiant.
- Commander Sisko: Thank you, sir.
- Admiral Toddman: But if you pull a stunt like that again, I'll court-martial you, or I'll promote you. Either way, you'll be in a lot of trouble.
- Commander Sisko: I'll keep that in mind, sir.
- 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.
- 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.
