of strangers. No, I understand. But I've known since I first met you that in your heart, you're one of us. Captain's log, supplemental. Having earned the Maquis's trust with her raid on the Enterprise, Lt Ro has been given access to a ship and allowed to leave the settlement alone. It's rumoured the Cardassians are supplying their colonists with biogenic weapons. I find that hard to believe. Ships that enter the Demilitarised Zone are searched. The Maquis are convinced the Cardassians avoid the searches. - We could make use of that. - Sir? We have come up with a plan that has the potential to seriously curtail the Maquis. We want to give them a target so threatening that they'll be willing to commit as many ships and people as possible in order to destroy it. - Give them a target? - Biogenic weapons, for example. You could provide them with intelligence which would show that the Cardassians are, in fact, supplying their colonists with them. That would get their attention. You could say that to get past the checkpoints, they ship the components for weapons through third parties, and then we could put together a convoy and send it towards the Demilitarised Zone. And when the Maquis attack it, Starfleet would be waiting for them. We could station our ships in the Hugora Nebula to avoid detection. Basically, I would be leading them into a trap. That's right. If you have a problem with any of this, I need to know it now. Well, if I do, sir, it will not stop me from carrying out my duty. I knew that I could count on you. It took a while, but I patched into Starfleet's comm system. I intercepted a communication from a checkpoint. They're concerned. A Pakled transport came through carrying retroviral vaccines. Why is that a concern? Last week, a Ferengi transport came through carrying biomimetic gels. By themselves, neither of these is dangerous, but Starfleet is concerned because, with other components, the Cardassians could put together a biogenic device. What is Starfleet doing about it? They can't do anything. These items are all perfectly legal. How close are the Cardassians to having the components they need? Very close. Two days ago, a Yridian convoy left Deep Space Nine for the Demilitarised Zone. It's carrying isomiotic hypos, plasma flares and quarantine pods. We can't let it reach its destination. But it's too big for us to go after alone. I'll discuss the situation with the other cell leaders. Considering what's at stake, they'll want to help. I've sent a communication to the others. When this is over, we'll celebrate. When it's over? When Cardassia realises they can't intimidate us into leaving. Something tells me it will be a long time before we're celebrating. Don't be discouraged, Ro. It'll take time. But the important thing is that we not give up. I spent ten years in the camps. I don't give up. I've been thinking a long time about what our celebration will be like. We'll have a huge dinner. You'll make hasperat and I'll make blueberry pie. We'll drink wine and we'll dance. I'll even play the belaklavion. That'll give everyone a laugh. You play the klavion? Yes, badly. It's a difficult instrument, but I enjoy the challenge. My father played the klavion. When I was very young, and afraid of monsters under my bed... ...he'd play for me. He said that the klavion had special powers. Monsters were afraid of it... ...and when they heard it, they disappeared. When I listened to that music he played for me... ...I was never afraid to go to sleep. When he died... ...I realised even he couldn't make all the monsters go away. Why wait? Let's go to the market. Let's get food for a feast, for a celebration. A celebration of what? Of absolutely nothing. Just to celebrate. I'd like that. Come. Let's go to the market. If I'm to make a pie, we'll have to find a substitute for blueberries.
