However, scans of the outpost appear to confirm several breaches along the outer docking ring. We should make contact with the Cardassians in order to accurately assess the damage. Hailing now.

Independent, I see you genuinely wish to earn Gul Terket’s favor. Let’s test your limits. As you can see, one of the outposts has suffered a significant degree of damage during the previous encounter.

Terket will regard this degree of damage as a failure on both of our parts. We must ensure that repairs are commissioned as soon as possible.

Our Tritanium reserves are adequate to commission repairs to our fleet. However, we will require a sizable amount of Parsteel in order to repair the breaches to the station’s outer docking ring.

If you can provide 3B Parsteel, then we should be able to begin repairs to the outpost.

Independent vessel, you are in the presence of Gul Terket. Your incursion constitutes a violation of our borders. You will engage in an immediate retreat or be considered an enemy of the Cardassian Union.

I don't know who your source was, Independent, but they were correct. We're expected to withdraw from this sector, but I refuse to give up our outposts without a fight.

Affirmative. Commander, we must aid the Cardassians in driving back the encroaching Node and Borg forces. We must buy them time to prepare the Nor-class outposts for warp. Locking targets!

Independent, you have done well, but the Cardassian Union is not so easily swayed. If you wish to ingratiate yourself among us, then you will assist me in overseeing our arrival at our new destination.

Ha! The great Benjamin Sisko comes crawling to the Cardassians looking for scraps? If only Dukat were here to see this. Alas, his behaviour has been erratic of late. I can only guess what he’s been up to.

Thank you, Gul Terket. In times such as these, when a common enemy makes themselves known, other disputes must be set aside for the greater good. We are pleased that you share this vision.

However, this is leaving the station open to an attack from the Borg. We must take action. Alternating targets.

Commander, our sensors have detected Borg and Node vessels in the vicinity of a Nor-class station. It would seem that the Cardassians have been followed.

Our scans of the outpost have revealed a significant degree of damage sustained to the support towers and deflectors. The station is at risk of collapse if we do not intervene.

A Node vessel appears to be preparing to make a pass of the station. We cannot allow them to get any closer. Prepare to engage.

The requested resources have been beamed to one of the outpost’s warehouses. There should be a sufficient amount of Parsteel to begin repairs.

Excellent. Perhaps your intentions are true… But your part in this operation has not yet concluded. There is still work to be done.

You have been ordered to oversee the arrival of another Nor-class station in the Lexum system. You must hurry. There have been reports of Node and Borg pursuers tailing this outpost to its new destination.

It will be no trouble at all, Mister Garak. How can we help you?

Most gracious of you! And please, let us dispense with formalities and titles. Just plain, simple Garak will suffice. Now, with introductions out of the way, let us tend to a most pressing matter.

I couldn’t help but overhear whispers circulating the Promenade regarding our current predicament. Bereft of allies while the hounds close in all around us? Terrible, simply terrible!

But what if it didn’t have to be this way? What if there were potential allies out there among the stars, just waiting for someone to reach out and contact them?

Are you saying that there are people out there who could join the fight against the Borg and the Node?

Elim Garak
Dialogue
My dear, they’re already fighting the good fight! But they’re beginning to falter. As you may know, the epicenter of the Borg/Node conflict was once under the control of the Cardassian Union.

I have just received word that one Gul Terket has given the order for the Cardassians to withdraw from the warzone and disperse throughout the galaxy.

Character
Elim Garak
Dialogue
If you were to present yourself to Gul Terket and explain that we are attempting to assemble a resistance front against the very beings that have forced his hand, then we may be able to bolster our ranks.

You are proposing that Deep Space Nine forges an alliance with the Cardassians?

Is that such a far-fetched proposal? Look around you, Commander. The galaxy is on the brink of being engulfed in the fires of a war it has no business being involved in.

In times like these, it is the most unlikely alliances that can turn the tide in one’s favor. All one needs is the tenacity and bravery to extend the hand. So I ask you, Commander – are you brave enough?

You make a convincing argument, Garak. We will seek out this Gul Terket you speak of.

Excellent! According to my sources, you should be able to find him in the Romero 9 system. Offer your services, help the Cardassians settle into their new homes, and we may gain allies in this fight.

Oh, and one more thing – let’s keep this to ourselves for the moment, shall we? No need to alert our dear Captain Sisko of our plans just yet.
