i hope dax is having better luck. i don't understand why you need people who've quickened to make your curure. i'm sorry. oh, you're still here. yes. well, i see the blight has spared you. maybe it doesn't like the taste of your blood. unfortunately, it seems to like yours. i'd invite you to my death but we don't know each other that well. what if i told you there was a chance you didn't have to die? i'm a doctor. ( laughing ) now don't tell me-- you have a cure. i'm working on one. yeah, what'll it cost me? a good coat? it won't cost you anything. he can help us. listen to him. i need volunteers, people who have quickened. what will you dodo? see how loud we scream when the blight burns through us?

dax: we're being hailed. they want to beam someone aboard to discuss our request. i would advise against ht be better to negotiate over the viewscreen. i don't want them to think we're hiding something. odo needs their help and i'm going to make sure he gets it. tell the jem'hadar i'll meet their representative in the transporter bay. aye, sir. ( screams ) that's enough. let him go. please, everyone. lower your weapons. there's no need for violence. are you okay? i've felt better. i've come for odo. can you help him? only the great link can help him. leave him with me and you may return home unharmed. i can't do that. a founder has given you an order. you will obey it. i feel it too. then let's not stand here and argue. just tell us where we need to take him. the faster we get moving, the better off he'll be. your loyalty to odo is commendable. i will not stop you from accompanying him on the rest of his journey. however, i am sure you understand my reluctance to reveal the location of our new home. commander, i must ask you to surrender the helm. amat'igan will gu

the dax is being driven by what is happening in international markets. think you would look elsewhere from your headline. you thats it surprise we continue to see yen weakness? i understand that people come out of that safe haven trade a little bit because of optimism for an infrastructure stimulus from donald trump but really, 111 yen, that is a serious weakness. not just yen weakness, we have seen assets responding in dramatic ways in the last you weeks when you look at the move in bond yields and commodity movements we have seen in copper and iron ore for example. these have been substantial moves and investors are moving aggressively out of trades and into more optimistic views on how they see the global economy and other areas developing. matt: is it too soon? we have seen the baltic dry index continue to rise on this optimism for infrastructure stimulus. but it cannot happen right away. even if he gets a trillion dollars soon, it has to be organized with the states. no one will run out with the ship and fill it up with copper next week, right? >> y

department of education what do you see, dax? ainter. the jem'hadar must be emitting a magneton pulse to cover their tracks. keep on them. i want that ship. i'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner. being at the edge of the wormhole makes deep space nine a tempting target. sometimes, i wish we could have the defiant standing guard over the station 26 hours a day. restricting the defiant to guard duty would be a serious mistake. you wouldn't say that if you had family living in the station. ot something. bearing 057 mark 009. red alert. on screen. worf: a jem'hadar warship. this cannot be the vessel we are looking for. major kira said the jem'hadar strike team that attacked the station used a transport ship. captain, that warship's in bad shape. looks like someone's used it for target practice. they're transmitting a broad-band distress signal. it could be a trap. seven life signs. you won't be reading them for long. the reactor's about to go critical. chief, have a security detail report to the transporter bay. odo, commander worf, you'

the dax was up 4% last week. nmpb >>> in other global news, nigel farage is the first foreign campaigner to meet with donald trump. he said he needs to mend fences with the new incoming president. and i just got back from the u.k. over the weekend, this got huge attention. not only is mr. farage not a part of the u.k. government or teresa may's party, therefore questioning her authority here, an outsider in that sense being the first to meet with president-elect trump, but he's the first foreign politician full stop. and an actively anti-european campaigner. so not just in the u.k. but across europe there's huge concern that there might be now a u.s. president against further integration within the eu. a lot of questions around europe based on the fact that trump chose this as his first foreign politician to meet. on sunday there was a special eu foreign minister's meeting to talk about president-elect trump. and the french and british didn't attend. so there's a lot of fear about what this could mean for the fut

commander dax when was the last time worf used that program? the day before he left on the convoy mission. the day before. thedaybefore. captain, you ordered worf to command thedefiant on the mission in question, did you not? that's right. how did you describe the mission to worf? an outbreak of rudellian plague has struck the cardassian colony on pentath three. of medical supplies and relief workers but the pentath system borders klingon territory and the cardassians are worried about raids. well, pentath is a strategically important system. the klingons will try to stop them. the problem is the cardassians don't have enough warships available to protect the relief convoy. they've asked for starfleet protection there will be seven convoys headed for pentath three in the next week. each of them protected by a federation starship. the defiant has been assigned to escort convoy six and i've chosen you to be in command. ch'pok: why did you select worf for this mission? i felt that he was an experienced officer who was ready to take on greater resp

dax: ops to captain sisko. go ahead. sorry to disturb you, captain but i have admiral whatley calling from starfleet headquarters. i'll take it in here. admiral. how've you been? never better. glad to hear it. i know you've been waiting for this news. i'm glad to be the one who tells you. bajor's petition to join the federation has been approved. it's about time. congratulations, ben. you've done a hell of a job out there. thank you. and we're not the only ones who think so. the bajorans requested that the signing ceremony take place on your station. so make sure you spruce up that floating bicycle wheel of yours. count on a lot of brass showing up for this one, captain. quark: shh! shh! shh! shhhh! computer, spotlight. drum roll! "welcome klingons." i see you're prepared for anything. never hurts. i take it you think the federation membership is going to be good for business? of course it is. this station is going to get busier than an alvanian beehive. i expect to do five times the volume in root beer alone. you see...

commander dax is analyzing the possibilities. help chief o'brien get thedefiantback on line. i want to get out there as soon as possible. aye, sir. what can i do for you, captain? i don't know quite how to tell you this so i'll just say it. starfleet command has given me a new assignment. ring him i they want me to bring in eddington. n? no. your mission orders have changed. did they give you a reason? well... you've been after him for, uh, eight months. not to put too fine a point on it, but... you haven't gotten the job done. look, captain i understand how you feel. the way eddington had fooled you, i... words. i didn't mean fooled. no. you're exactly right. i was fooled but it won't happen again. that's not the issue. starfleet also believes that where eddington is concerned you're vulnerable. he just knows you too well, captain. so maybe it's time for someone he doesn't know to go after him. good hunting. thank you, captain. dax: the good news is starfleet intelligence is making progress breaking the maquis communication codes. we're out of the game. but what the hell, ri

dax: very well, chief. you're cleared for departure but before you go there's one thing i'd like to ask you. what's that? did you enjoy your birthday? well, it was full of surprises. good. those were always my favorites. hold position here. computer, initiate modifications o'brien 7-3-1 and enable remote comlink. comlink enabled. what the hell? have us face the temple. the blast will last only a fraction of a second. they'll be dead before they even see it. oh! you have no idea how many centuries i waited for this. let's get on with it! miles, you have a lot to learn about patience. proceed. sisko: chief, what's going on out there? i'm ordering you to return to the station. now. ( screams ) ( screaming ) miles... ( relieved sighs ) chief... it was more like having something coiled around inside my head. i could see and hear through it but anytime i tried to do anything... it was like being stuck in sand and squeezed. yeah. kind of a cold rage. i don't think it had any intention of leaving either one of us a

dax, i was afraid you weren't coming. well, i heard you were serving q'parol and how could i miss it? what's the matter, chief? you look a little preoccupied. everything all right? well, there's, um... there's something i forgot to tell keiko. would you excuse me for a moment? of course. jake: did you see any pah-wraiths? pah-wraiths? odo was telling me the fire caves were haunted by some sort of weird supernatural beings. don't tell me you believe in wraiths. odo: well, i may have mentioned the bajoran legends about creatures living in the caves but i never said i believe in them. the only thing i saw were some beautiful and botanically fascinating fungi. . i've always wanted to meet a pah-wraith. maybe you will. you never know. i've done what you asked. that's terrific, miles. we'll talk later. molly: can i have cake now? keiko: oh, in a bit, sweetie. ( groans ) miles, are you bleeding? no. it's... it's nothing. let me take a look. i said i'm all right! i'm sorry. i'm sorry, everybody. excuse me. get ahold of yourself.
