one for the vorta and one for the jem'hadar first. guess they're the e ly ones who get to see what's going on outside. i'm the vorta in charge of the jem'hadar troops surrounding you. if you touch the triangular green panel on any of the control consoles you'll be able to speak to me. they know your name. they always seem to be one step ahead of us. this is captain sisko. i heard there were some casualties among your crew and i feared you may have been one of them. thank you for your concern. what do you want? to talk. i think it would be in everyone's best interest if you and i met face-to-face and discussed the situation like reasonable people. i can be reasonable. so i've heard. i'll meet you on the hull. one escort each. agreed? agreed. your photograph doesn't do you justice. you're quite striking in person. look, i'm a little busy so let's skip the flattery. weyoun's report on you was right. you are direct. i like that. so, let me cut to the chase. was your ship. now it's mine. oh. captain, i'm... i'm a little disappointed. that'

it may have been the vorta's computer console. i found it in one of the upper compartments but the power grid is off-line in that part of the ship. so you ripped it out of the wall. very nice. so, what do we do with it now? use it for a doorstop? ( explosion ) i don't care what you do with it. worf, i was kidding. it was a good idea. we'll hook it up and see if we can get it working. ( explosion ) with us by now. i have a game i would like to play with them. if only i could leave this prison and meet them face-to-face on a field of battle. ( explosion ) right now, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. chief, could you that is no way for anyone to die. i told you, he is not going to die. it is only a matter of time. so we should just kill him, right? if you truly are his friend you would consider that option. it would be a more honorable death than the one he's enduring. i'm not some blood-thirsty klingon looking for an excuse to murder my friend. that's enough. no. er weak human afraid to face death. ( yells ) i said that's enough!

your psychographic profile is required reading for vorta field supervisors. i probably know things about you you don't know yourself. if you're trying to impress me you can forget it. what would you say... if i offered to make you absolute ruler of the federation? no president no starfleet chief of staff-- just you. i'd say your psychographic profile of me isn't as good as you think. ( chuckling ) -- trying to build a bridge between the dominion and the potential ally. after all, wouldn't it be much simpler if the dominion and the federation could reach some mutual beneficial understanding without resorting to the unpleasantness of military conflict? i want to know how to find the jem'hadar who attacked my station. if you want to build a bridge, why don't you start there? i can lead you to them. but... there's something i need in exchange. what's that? i want you to help me eliminate them. the jem'hadar that attacked your station are renegades. they've turned against the dominion. i'm seeing that they're punished. why do you need my help? you could send a fle

dax: the vorta probably consider ththfounders gods just like the jem'hadar do. i am not a founder. well, you're a changeling. that's close enough. to them. i wonder what would happen if you went over there and ordered him to stand on his head. ( laughing ) it's time. ( groans ) very well. prepare six vials. unlock. first, omet'iklan can you vouch for the loyalty of your men? we pledge our loyalty to the founders from now until death. then receive this reward from the founders. may it keep you strong. i guesesthat's one way to assure loyalty. loyalty bought at such a price is no loyalty at all. come with me. it is time to resume our battle drills. in a minute. i'm ready now. well, i'm not. they stuff themselves with food bubuhave no appetite for battle. when the time comes, you will find us more than ready. ready to flee at the first sign of danger. let's go. i've always wanted to kill a klingon. that's enough! the next one who throws a punch will have to answer to me! i did. and i. you... again. you knew my orders. and i defied them. i deserve punishment. and you shall l ve it. why
