Captain, we are being hailed from the surface of Mril I. I am unfamiliar with this signature.

Do not bother. We are not interested in engaging you in combat. Not anymore.

And what possible reason could we have for helping the Dominion?

You are mistaken, Captain. We are not of the Dominion. At least, that stands true for my unit.

But I thought loyalty to the Founders was a core tenet of a Jem’Hadar’s being? Your very reason for existence?

Character
Otep'lorr
Dialogue
I ask you; What has the Jem'Hadar's loyalty to the Founders ever earned for us? Even as we cast ourselves into the fires of war, they still insisted on using the White to ensure our loyalty.

Otep'lorr
Dialogue
They utilize Vorta overseers to administer our doses of the White as if we are nothing more than beasts. Our sacrifices meant nothing to them. Our loyalties were questioned and tested. Well, no more.

And what about your Vorta? Where is he?

Phase

Character
Otep'lorr
Dialogue
His body lies rotting in the ground on the surface of Mril II. I know this because I put him there myself. However, he must have had suspicions regarding our loyalty, and chose to speak to the Founders.

Character
Otep'lorr
Dialogue
We were chased away from Mril II and forced to leave behind our supplies of the White. If we don’t retrieve the cache of White, we will surely perish. You must help us.

This reminds me of when the Rubicon crash-landed in the Gamma Quadrant. You remember Goran’Agar and his men, Chief?

How could I forget? Being stranded on a strange planet with Jem’Hadar defectors is an experience that I’d rather not repeat.

But we are repeating it. Now, we can try to help each other out or we can all get used to the idea of sharing a common grave!

Character
Benjamin Sisko
Dialogue
Alright, we’ll do it. But I’m warning you, Otep’lorr – I’ve been double-crossed once today. I don’t imagine that I’ll take a second betrayal in a calm manner. Do not test me on this.

Mr. O’Brien, can you make the necessary repairs? Do you have everything you need?

Dialogue
I should be able to get us off the ground, but it’s going to take a few days. I’d be more concerned about the Dominion finding us before I can get the job done.

Double your efforts, Chief. We need to get back to the Alpha Quadrant and behind Federation lines as soon as possible.

While I have your attention, I wanted to apologize to you all for landing us here. I promise that I’ll do everything in my power to get you all home safely.

Don’t beat yourself up over this, Benjamin. Your ability to trust others and reach out to make new allies is a part of what makes you a Starfleet captain.

She’s right. You shouldn’t bear the weight of another’s betrayal. That’s not on you. Let’s just take it as a learning experience. At least now we know where the Breen stand.

Thank you, both of you. You’ve given me a lot to think about. But for now, let’s concentrate on getting the Defiant back off the ground.

Commander, it looks like we’re going to be here for a while. I wonder if you might allow me to beam over to your bridge. We should scan some nearby planets and perform some reconnaissance.

Actually, do you mind if I come along? Frankly, I’m starting to get a little anxious lounging around a crashed vessel.

Of course. Preliminary star charts of the Gamma Quadrant show a planet known as Mril I is situated nearby. This can serve as our first port of call. Prepare for transport.

What is the meaning of this? Our arrangement was to include the delivery of the ship’s entire reserves of White. This is but a mere sample!

Another unit of Jem’Hadar troops must have beat us to the punch. I assure you, this was all that remained among the wreckage.

This just won’t work, Sisko. It is not enough to sustain one of us, let alone my entire unit.

Julian Bashir
Dialogue
Captain. If I may – I’ve recently taken it upon myself to study and understand the Jem’Hadar to the best of my ability. As such, I believe that I’ve come to understand the specific function of Ketracel-white.

Julian Bashir
Dialogue
If you’re willing to submit the last sample for analysis, I may be able to synthesize a substitute that should serve the same purpose as the White. All may not be lost just yet.

We were preoccupied with a minor incident involving a Jem’Hadar scout. The issue has been dealt with. Have you found the cache of Ketracel-white?
Objective ID
1,922,800,354
Phase

Character
Julian Bashir
Dialogue
Yes, but another unit must have salvaged the crash site. It looks like they just missed one small case of White – nowhere near enough to sustain an entire unit.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Benjamin Sisko
Dialogue
Regardless, it’s all we have for now. Let’s get back to the unit on Mril I. I don’t think Otep’lorr is going to like this one bit.

These are the coordinates that Otep’lorr provided, Captain. Scanning the location now.

Scans have detected wreckage at the site. No life signs. This must be where Otep’lorr and his unit turned on their Vorta.

Just one more betrayal after another… Still, if that cache of White is down there, then we have to find it. Two to beam down, Commander. Ready for transport.

Wait–… Commander, port sensors have detected a Jem’Hadar scout is moving towards the point of the wreckage. We cannot allow them to detect the Captain or Doctor Bashir.

We have no other alternative. We must engage the scout before it reaches them. Raising shields.
