It was not a raucous place by any measure, but the bar’s overall vibe appeared to a positive one. The lone exception to the frivolity permeating the establishment was the bulky Lurian sitting by himself at the end of the bar closest to the door. He looked to have been perched there well before O’Brien’s arrival, and the Lurian seemed to have a fresh beverage held in one of his oversized hands. (English)

“Doctor Beverly Crusher. Keiko O’Brien.” Tropp was gesturing toward someone behind them. “Meet your guide, Kira Nerys. ”Crusher turned to see a young Bajoran woman with shoulder-length red-brown hair, dressed in simple tan pants and a maroon shirt that appeared at least one size too big for her.

“Terok Nor is a common Cardassian design, sir,” added Data, “utilized in numerous star systems where the Cardassians have established a foothold with the intent of harvesting natural resources from selected planets.” “Sounds cozy,” said Riker. (English)

Tall and lean, his black hair was swept back from his narrow, angular face. Dark eyes peered out from beneath his pronounced brow, sweeping the room in that manner common to seasoned, battle-tested soldiers. Picard recognized him. “Gul Dukat,” he said, clocking Heslo’s own expression of surprise. (English)

“I expected a cold welcome,” said the Cardassian. “I thought with the station having new owners, I’d still be offered at least a measure of grace.”Eyeing him with skepticism, La Forge said, “You’re not like any Cardassian I’ve met before. Who are you?” “His name is Elim Garak.”Startled by the new voice, La Forge turned to see yet another Cardassian standing in the middle of the Promenade walkway. (English)

La Forge smiled to emphasize his mocking tone, recalling how she had been a nervous wreck upon her arrival aboard the Enterprise four years earlier. Despite a few mishaps, Gomez had worked hard and applied herself, overcoming her initial anxiety and clumsiness to become one of his best engineers. (English)

She turned to see Kira Nerys standing before her, looking not like the Bajoran woman she had worked with on Bajor. Gone was the long, unkempt hair, replaced by a short cut that let it fall to just above her shoulders. Rather than well-worn clothing suitable for a life lived hiding from Cardassians while carrying out acts of resistance, she now wore a crisp new red-maroon uniform of the Bajoran Militia. “Nerys,” said Crusher. “Look at you.” (English)

Turning in her seat at the conn, Lieutenant Jae asked, “Do we think the Cardassians mislabeled a planet on the star charts and hoped no one would notice?” (English)

A trim, even petite woman several years his junior, Nechayev’s narrow, angular features gave her an almost hawklike appearance, an effect only intensified as she regarded Picard with piercing eyes he knew missed nothing. (English)

“I’m sorry, Alyssa. I was just…” Crusher stopped as she caught sight of the other nurses and orderlies from her staff who had accompanied her to the surface. Directed by Nurse Ogawa, they were proceeding toward the aid station. Shaking her head, Crusher cleared her throat. (English)

Tall and lean of build, the new arrival appeared to be male, but Riker was forced to admit he was going just by the voice he had heard. He was dressed in a brown-and-tan uniform that looked similar to but not exactly like those of the Bajoran Militia. His dirty blond hair was slicked back away from his face, which was so smooth Riker at first wondered if it might be a mask. “Commander Riker, I’m Odo, chief of station security. Major Heslo apologizes for being detained in the operations center, as he’s finalizing preparations for the arrival of the conference delegates. He asked me to greet you in his place.” (English)

His bold, multicolored jacket was at odds with the station’s drab motif. Riker noted that he was not sporting a headpiece to cover the back of his oversized, hairless skull, as was usually worn by the Ferengi. His large ears, pronounced brow, and jagged teeth did not make him appear menacing but instead a dealer or salesman of questionable character, and therefore consistent with every other Ferengi the first officer had ever encountered. Quark, he reasoned. (English)

The memories of what he had endured on Celtris III at the hands of Gul Madred, his Cardassian inquisitor, remained raw. His private—and ongoing—conversations with Counselor Deanna Troi in the wake of the incident had been helpful, and while the physical pain he had suffered was gone, the emotional scars would be a long time healing. On a personal level he would prefer to have no contact with any Cardassian or anything involving them. (English)

After a moment, the woman looked up to stare at Ro. “Are you Ro Laren? ”Self-conscious as always, Ro nodded. “Hileb was my friend.” Now it was her turn to cry, the normally stoic, closed-off woman allowing her emotions free rein. (English)

The Cardassians, as part of their planned invasion of the Minos Korva system, knew the Enterprise would lead any Starfleet response to an attack. They believed Picard possessed detailed knowledge of every strategy to defend against them, therefore questioning him was of paramount importance. (English)

Picard awakened to discover he had only been unconscious for a mere twenty-five minutes, but to him it felt like he had spent decades living the life of Kamin, a member of a long-dead race, the Kataan. Only he remembered the Kataan civilization, lost over a thousand years ago. With Crusher’s assistance, Picard came to understand how it had changed his outlook and improved his existence. (English)

Leaning forward so he could rest his forearms on the conference table, the legate smiled at Picard. “ ‘History is written by the victors.’ Have I quoted it accurately?” Picard smiled. “Well enough. I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out the quote has been appropriated, misattributed, and cited ironically by several individuals throughout our history. That said, the overriding sentiment it’s meant to convey remains consistent.” (English)

“Yes, sir.” Ro crossed her arms, casting her gaze downward for a moment, and Picard sensed she was recalling something unpleasant. “Remember the refugee camp we visited last year on Valo II? When I lived there as a child, I befriended a Bajoran boy, Panat Hileb. (English)

She snapped her fingers. “Three years ago. Bre’el IV. The orbit of its moon was decaying, and the Enterprise used a low-level warp field to change its gravitational constant. You moved it back where it belonged.” “You know about that?” asked La Forge.“I read about it,” MacDougal replied. “Your report was quite comprehensive.” (English)

“Quark,” said Riker, his smile growing wider, “I might need help getting my winnings to the Enterprise. ”His unease appearing to increase, Quark held out his hands in supplication. “Well, about that. You see, Commander, there’s been an unfortunate mishap. My brother, Rom, seems to have misplaced the combination to my safe. Therefore, I don’t have access to twelve bars of gold-pressed latinum. Would you consider vouchers?” (English)
