Storyline
Announcement
Though Starfleet forces were able to hold off the Jem’Hadar fleet, and Federation officials believe they have a working cure for the Jem’Hadar’s dependency on ketracel-white, the Dominion has suddenly gotten cold feet. They have taken the cure and fled for the Gamma Quadrant! [1]
Prologue
- Dominion Dukat: "Once again the incessant naivete of the Federation creates another headache for the rest of us. Did you really think the Dominion would allow you to cure the Jem'Hadar of their little dependency? And then you fools let them near the cure so they could steal it."
- Changeling Martok: "I wish I could provide a solid defense to your accusations, but the truth is my people have only reinforced the mistrust and scorn they are viewed with in this quadrant. They say they are interested in the Solids, in working together with them, but then do something like this."
- Dominion Dukat: "You don't owe me anything, Changeling. If this goes wrong, it's the Federation who has to deal with it, not me, not Cardassia, and not the Klingons either. If you don't want to be involved, go see if the House of Martok will take you in. You at least got the head ridges right."
- Changeling Martok: "How cavalier are your words. If the Son'a fell the Federation, will they stop there? Living among the Klingons, even as a copy, has allowed me to appreciate the honor by which they live. Captain, it would be an honor to fight alongside you and bring Ru'afo down for good."
Intermission
- Ikat'ika: "Captain, I am Ikat'ika, a First of the Jem'Hadar. You and the rest of your comrades have certainly proven worthy opponents in battle. It is no longer feasible nor wise for us to consider our onslaught alongside the dwindling Son'a forces."
- Ikat'ika: "The Son'a stores of ketracel-white have been wiped out, but I hear that the Federation claims it has a cure for our dependency on the white. Is this true?"
- Choice A
- Captain: "It is... provided we can get the cure we developed back from the Dominion."
- Ikat'ika: "So the Dominion currently possess this supposed cure? That is troubling..."
- Choice B
- Captain: "What is it that led you to rebel in the first place?"
- Ikat'ika: "'Rebel' seems a fairly...volatile word to use. Our desire was not the destruction of the Founders. We merely wanted to be free. Ru'afo said he could grant us freedom from the chains of ketracel-white, and yet, in the end, it was as if we had traded one master for another."
- Choice C
- Captain: "What will you do if we can?"
- Ikat'ika: "This concept of freedom, of not having to rely on another race or master to obtain that which we need. Speaking honestly, it seems almost unfathomable. I cannot speak for the others. I do not even know myself."
- Ikat'ika: "The promise of freedom, Captain... this could change everything for us. Please get that cure back."
Epilogue
- Ikat'ika: "Captain, you made good on your word. I cannot describe how it feels, to finally be free from that all-consuming need. We firsts have ordered the others to cease their attacks."
- Dominion Dukat: "I hope you weren't expecting praise from me, Captain. You're a fool. You just lost yourself a fleet of servants who would have been chemically-chained to the Federation in perpetuity. But Ru'afo has been stopped and I hear is in custody."
- Ru'afo: "I wouldn't exactly disagree with what the Cardassian said a moment ago. Why did you and the Federation choose this path, Captain? What purpose does it serve for you? Hard to believe a military force like Starfleet wouldn't want such willing soldiers."
- Ru'afo: "To just give in to the Jem'Hadar and let them go, while we Son'a have spent so long fighting for our own freedom.... I suppose you think taking their freedom away was hypocritical. Think what you want! You can never know what we've been through!"
