You needed astrometric readings to tell you that? Weren’t the myriad of Cardassian and Dominion vessels laying siege to the station enough of a warning?

The Rotarran? Oh dear, I forgot about that ship’s role in this battle. Do you think General Martok will remember us after our little scuffle at the temporal rift?

I see, well… This is a dangerous place to be at the moment. Either you stand with us in defiance of the Dominion, or you stand against us in their service. What is it to be?

You have answered wisely, jupwI'. Come, let us work to determine the color of Jem’Hadar blood!

I guess he doesn’t recognize us, Commander. Probably didn’t get a decent look at us with his good eye back at the temporal rift. I’d say we should use this to our advantage and show him we’re pals.

The Second Battle of Deep Space Nine – this skirmish was triggered by the Dominion and the Cardassian Union in response to the mining of the Bajoran Wormhole on behalf of the Federation.

This encounter is widely regarded as one of the instigating engagements of the Dominion War.

Precisely! If our mission in the divergent timeline is to ensure that the Dominion War comes to pass, then it is absolutely vital that this encounter plays out as fate intends.

According to my readings, it would seem that the Defiant is captured by the Dominion before it can complete the minefield.

This, in turn, prevents the activation of the minefield, allowing the Dominion and the Cardassians to quickly overrun the Bajor System.

So it will be our job to ensure the safety of the Defiant. How hard can that be in the middle of an active warzone?

I’ll do what I can. But with the Jem’Hadar on our tail, evasive maneuvers might be necessary.

The next alteration of this timeline appears to point to mid-2374, during what official records refer to as “Operation Return”.

Of course, Operation Return! That valiant counter-offense from the combined forces of Starfleet and the Klingons.

It would appear that further corruption in this timeline occurs when the Klingons do not join Starfleet in this venture, preventing the execution of Operation Return.

Eh, Commander, before you take up the good Captain on his invitation, might I suggest that we, too, have done all we can here? Perhaps it’s time for us to return to our Station and check in on “you know what”?
