i hope first minister shakaar shakaar's not the father. but then who is? chief o'brien. promenade. well, at least there's one good thing about your condition. you won't be going on this suicidal mission. it may not be as hopeless as you think. how can sisko be so deluded to think that he and three of his crewmen can infiltrate klingon military headquarters? they'll be caught in a heartbeat. maybe... maybe not. what's wrong, dukat? - [narrator] what if you had a medical emergency away from home? - my chest hurts, i can't breathe. - [narrator] what you need is mobilehelp, america's premiere mobile medical alert system. most systems only work at home, but with mobilehelp, you get help outside the home cellular networks at the press of a button. - i couldn't dial 911 because i was out of it. i just pushed the button and when i woke up i was in the hospital. - i don't have to worry about if i'm near help or if i even know where i am. i have mobilehelp, they know where i am. - i have a number of health issues. if you were to call 911, they would not know what your issues are. ds are. - t

in fact, i'm going to go to the capital and see shakaar. that's the best idea you've had all week. have a good trip. it would've been nice. in another life. let's not even think about it. all right. let's not. miles..? yes, nerys? get out. right. ( sighs ) two frfrtured ribs, torn ligaments strained tendons, numerous contusions bruises and scratches. what have you been doing? you mean, what have we been doing? ( both laugh ) never mind. i don't need that particular image running around in my head. i'll just treat you. ( worf clears throat ) we, um... well, um, if you must know... no! no, uh... i don't need that image either. in fact, i'm going to stop asking that question altogether. people can come in, i will treat them and that's all. please... have a seat. i'll be with you in a minute. oh! ( groans ) you do realize that according to klingon tradition... according to tradition, we have to get married. but as you keep insisting you are not a traditional woman. the truth is, worf you might be right. how do you wish to proceed? i don't know. you must have some idea. you were the...

so you're not going to ask first minister shakaar to step down and go back to farming? no, of course not. but frankly, by the next election i doubt very many people will be left on bajor who would elect a farmer to political office. we hope that, eventually, the people will support enforcement of thed'jarras by legal sanction. so if someone defies their caste..? society will have appropriate remedies at its disposal such as deportation. you realize that caste-based discrimination if bajor returns to thed'jarrasystem i have no doubt that its petition to join the federation will be rejected. kai winn and i have already discussed it. we're willing to make that sacrifice in order to follow the will of the prophets. i had a feeling winn would see it that way. well, the emissaryry transport leaves shortly. as a starfleet officer, i am bound by oath not to interfere with bajoran affairs but... as a friend to bajor i have to say giving up federation membership would be a mistake. oh. yourpaghis strong. i i e now why kai opaka good-bye, captain. good-bye, emissary. morning. gues

she's not going to relax until shakaar gets here. i called him almost six hours ago. only takes half that time to travel from bajor. he's first minister of bajor; he's a busy man. and so am i. i'll try and pop by later. whoa. the baby is moving. relax. breathe. it won't be long now. sorry i'm late. how are you? i threw you off, didn't i? it's all right. i'll get back on track. i'm glad you're here. odo: this is the replimat. humanoids come here to eat. they... we, rather, need to ingest nutrients. this is my home. it's a space station. i'll show you everything. but you can live here, too, if you want. it's a fascinating place. constable, why are you talking to your beverage? it's not a beverage. it's a changeling. excuse me, commander. yeah... o, huh? now, doesn't that feel better? nothing like spreading yourself out after being cooped up in a jar, huh? ( chuckles and sighs ) you have no idea of the marvels that are in store for you. do you know what you are? you're a changeling-- a shapeshifter. you can be anything-- or a filian python burrowing deep beneath the grou

you know about major kira and first minister shakaar. despite your rejection of us we still take an active interest in your well-being. about my well-being? there's very little that escapes our attention. are you saying that you knew i was sick even before we left the station? what do you think? ( sighs ) i think you did this to me. you caused my illness i wish the circumstances of this meeting were different. you killed a changeling, odo. he was trying to kill my friends. i had no choice. of course you had a choice and you chose to side with the solids. to protect them, you were willing to violate the most sacred law of our people. no changeling has ever harmed another. until you. that's why we forced you to return home...

major kira and first minister shakaar are involved now. how sad. not at all. i'm happy for her. well, just don't go do what i did-- look for someone to fix your broken heart then end up pregnant and on the run. ah... what is it? the baby kicked. may i sit down for a minute? i, i... i don't have any furniture. the floor will do. oh. uh, how are you feeling now? g who's had to hold his shape too long. ah. well, i, uh... i think i know how that feels. oh... he's moving. here. you want to feel? there. yes. oh. ht's sleep in weeks. sometimes with betazoid babies you can actually sense their thoughts. nt. ( sighs ) yes... i can feel it too. you know, someone once said "life is a search to find the peace you once had when you were safe inside your mother." i didn't have a mother. oh... don't worry, odo. you'll find your peace... just the same. hmm. your replicator isn't really broken is it? no. i'm sorry if i made you feel unwelcome. it's... it's just my way... lwaxana? yes? it's jake... jake sisko. come in. i, uh... i brought some of my stories for you to read. i don't need to. oh. i

and like your friend shakaar... quite a ladies' man. especially with other officers' wives. including yours? hmm. a year ago you wouldn't have dared, but now... i think the first thing i'd do when i'm restored to power will be to demote him assign him to the cardassian embassy on breen. (chuckling) i hear it's bitter cold on breen. sir i've got something. on screen. well, major... they're scanning us. good. let's hope they take the bait. sir, they've locked their disruptors o ous. they haven't fired. which means s ey could be interested in our cargo. now let's see if you can make them bite. on screen. identify yourself. m gul ka commander of the cardassian freightergroumall. who are you? what is your cargo and destination? we are carrying replicator and transporter parts to the dopa system. you're lying! i assure you, captain... i'm confiscating your ship andits cargo. on whose authority? (chuckling) on the authority of the klingon empire and the disruptors i have pointed at your vessel. convincing, wasn't i? i'll let you know. . wait for my signal. open the cargo bay doors.

shakaar and i stopped by. i didn't feel much like celebrating. oh? needed my help. i never wanted a baby. but now? i just wish i could hold him in my arms... and never let him go. i think i know how you feel, nerys. want to take a walk? [captioning sponsored by the u.s. department of education and paramount television last time onstar trek: voyager: begin a salvage operation. captain? there might be something we can use-- weapons, a transwarp coil. is it true your parents were studying the borg? yes. the hansens were exobiologists. are. i'm not leaving without you. then you will be assimilated. they're gone captain. welcome home. and now the conclusion. you've changed. your exo-plating... they've taken you apart... and they've re-created you in their own image. hair... garments... but at the core, you are still mine. the borg have changed as well. i expected re-assimilation, not conversation. i see they've also given you a sense of humor. my humor is my own. spoken like a true individual. the last two years must have been a remarkable experience. you are unique. my

maybe i could talk to first minister shakaar about sending starfleet a communique explai... thanks. it-it'll blow over. it's not that. i guess i'm just feeling... i did fail. sir... anyway, why did you want me totoeet jatarn? (sighs) what is it, major? i think he'd make an excellent first officer. as soon as you can find someone to take my post i'm going to resign my commissioion. (sighs) to follow your...d'jarra. i'm planning to move back to the dahkur province. there are a lot of artists who live in the capital. i have a friend there who's willing to apprentice me. i'm sorry. ng i want to do is to add to your problems. this is something i have to do. (sniffles) if, um... if you don't hit it off with major jatarn i can think of a few other people. it shouldn't be that hard to find someone to replace me. but to replace you..? computer, time. 1921 hours. where's dr. bashir? dr. bashir is in quark's bar. i'm chasing a triple 17 and a bull, morn. got some catching up to do. julian. how have you been? not bad. and you? oh, you know, all right. i was heading home. thought i'd stop in for
