This was supposed to be a private meeting, Captain. Who is the Independent?

Maia and the Commander are our allies. Deep Space 9 would be under Cardassian control if it wasn’t for their help.

That’s all well and good, but why are they here now?

Dialogue
I’ll get to that, but first let me once again recommend that the Federation take a formal stance on the Cardassian-Bajoran hostilities. After the Battle of Deep Space 9, they’re at boiling point.

We will end up getting involved one way or another, you mark my words. But if we take the initiative now, we might be able to prevent future casualties and work towards a more diplomatic solution.

How many times do I need to tell you that we can’t get involved? If we take a stance against the Cardassians, it could mean all-out war.

So we do nothing about the fact that they tried to retake the station? Surely that’s sign enough that a war is already happening, Admiral. By doing nothing, we are showing the Cardassians that we’re weak.

Enough, Sisko! There is no proof that the Cardassians were behind the Battle of Deep Space 9. Not one Cardassian fought here that day.

I will say it one more time. Starfleet personnel are not to get involved in the skirmishes between the Cardassians and the Resistance. That’s an order.

I am disappointed, Admiral, but not surprised. And this is where the Commander comes in. If you say that our hands are tied, why not utilize our Independent allies?

Perhaps it might even be for the best. An unbiased, neutral party might be our best chance to try and calm things down.

… Nicely played, Sisko, but this is quite a task. Starfleet cannot, under any circumstances, be associated with this mission.

Forgive the interruption, Captain, but I am detecting a ship at the edge of the system. They are not approaching the station. They seem to be waiting.

Or watching, perhaps. Well caught, Maia. Let’s go see what this is about.

There they are, just lurking. Cardassians on a reconnaissance mission?

Most likely, Captain.

It is now, thanks to the Commander. So, do I have your permission to go ahead with this mission, sir? The Commander is up to the task, I assure you.

It looks like we need your help again, Commander. Things have been… tense since the battle of Deep Space 9. Hostilities between the Bajoran Resistance and the Cardassians are worse than ever.
