One moment, sir. The antimatter imbalance in the warp core has been corrected, but I still need to reactivate and calibrate the phaser banks before they can be used safely.

So the Cardassians have managed to barter some cloaking technology out of their alliance with the Romulans? That’s… not good.

Dialogue
If the ship emerged from cloaking then it means to engage us. The Dessnerans in this sector must have alerted the Cardassians that the Defiant was stranded here.

Well, if they’ve come looking for a fight, they’re going to find one. Commander, engage that ship!

At ease, everyone. It’s good to be back with you all again. Well… most of you. Where is Lieutenant Commander Worf?

I… I don’t know, Commander. We lost contact with Worf and Martok when the Rotarran was destroyed. I’ve been trying to find them ever since.

The current situation with the Dominion has caused serious tensions back on Kronos. The incident with Martok and the Rotarran has fuelled belief that Starfleet are working with the Dominion.

The optics of losing control of Deep Space Nine to the Dominion are further exacerbating those suspicions.

She’s back on Bajor, Captain. After her title of liaison officer was stripped, she returned home. When the Dominion arrived and claimed Deep Space Nine, she saw fit to stay put.

Well, let’s see what we can do about that. I’ll be with you shortly. Sisko out.

Commander, I couldn’t have done this without you. I believe I’ve taken up space on your bridge for long enough. It’s time that I returned to my crew. Move us in closer and prepare for transport.

Captain Sisko, according to Starfleet logs, the Defiant was last seen in the Azati system.

They must have been forced to retreat there during the battle in Cardassia. Take us there, Commander. We’ll conduct some long-range scans from the center of Azati.

Commander, you’re just in time. Looks like that distress call didn’t fall on deaf ears. We’d just managed to make it out of the planet’s orbit when we were attacked!

Try to hold on, old man. We’re going to get you out of here.

Benjamin!? What are you doing here? Wait, don’t even answer that, I’m just so glad to see you. The Cardassians aren’t the only ones out here giving me a headache…

You want to talk about headaches? Sit down, Commander, and allow me to regale you with tales of the sheer horrors of enduring a life-or-death situation with the great Doctor Julian-bloody-Bashir!

Oh, here we go again. Just because I suggested that we forage some tube grubs to keep the hunger away. You’re too pampered by replicators, that’s what your problem is!

That’s enough, you two. You might want to save your childish bickering until the circumstances are in your favor. Right now, it looks like you need our help.

Character
Jadzia Dax
Dialogue
The Dessnerans are coming back for a second pass. We need more time to repair the phaser banks. We can’t defend ourselves until they’re fixed.

Chief, talk to me.

Character
Miles O'Brien
Dialogue
There’s an antimatter imbalance in the warp core that’s also stopping us from making a run for it. I should be able to fix it but I’ll need some time!

We’ll buy you as much as we can. Divert auxiliary power to shields and engage impulse engines. Just avoid taking any more damage. We’ll take care of the rest.

Wait… I am detecting an emergency broadcast emanating from an adjacent system. It’s a Starfleet signature, Captain – it must be the Defiant. Patching through to the bridge.

We should be able to get back on our feet, but we really could use some help. If anyone out there hears this, come to the Vanir system. Find us!

You heard the Lieutenant Commander. Lay in a course for Vanir.
