Good day, Commander. We’ve contracted you for a very specific job. There are squatters trying to take position in a nearby asteroid. We want you to get rid of them.

There is no easy way to say this, but our colony is made up of many cultures. One of the largest of them is Bajoran. The people watching from the asteroid are Cardassian.

They do. So far the Cardassians have not done much, other than come to trade a couple of times. Frankly, forcing them away is as much for their own safety as it is for ours.

I want you to scare them off and encourage them to find somewhere other than a lifeless asteroid to live. Here are the coordinates.

Well, unfortunately, we have been contracted by the local council on the planet that this asteroid orbits. They would like us to convince you to leave.

This rock is worth nothing to them. We are conducting geological research here, and bringing economical trade to their land below. Why do they want us to leave?

Prejudice, Detorr. That is why. There are Bajorans amongst them. They see our faces and they see the Occupation. They see what our people have done to them.

That was not us though, Shalmara. And we are far from Bajor. This hired gun has come with their shields raised and phaser banks charged, it seems. Well, we won’t be turned away without a fight.

The Cardassians, they were destroyed? Or they left of their own accord?

They showed some resistance, but nobody was harmed despite the need for a show of force. It appears that their group was divided on how to resolve the situation.

As was ours here. Hence the swift but blunt manner in which we wanted to deal with this matter. Thank you for handling it.

Enough. We will stand down. This research is not worth our lives. Nor is it worth the anguish of those Bajorans below. We can return to Cardassia with evidence of resistance. That will satisfy our leaders.

This is a shame. Please tell the colonists that all they have achieved here today is to highlight the lack of progress our two peoples have made since the Occupation.
