KIRA: What am I doing? I’m supposed to keep you awake,
not bore you to tears. I’m sorry. I don’t know why this is so hard for
me. All I have to do is talk to you. I mean, what do we usually talk
about? SISKO: We talk about work. KIRA: You’re right. That is what we usually talk about. Even when we’re
not working. I get the feeling it’s not that way between you and Dax,
or you and Chief O'Brien. But then, you’re not a revered figure in
their religions. I know you don’t like it when I talk about you as the
Emissary, but that’s how I think of you. And maybe that’s why sometimes
it’s hard for me to relax around you. SISKO: Nerys? KIRA: Yes, sir? SISKO: Tell me a story.
JASAD: Your space station could not defend
itself against one Cardassian warship. KIRA: You’re probably right, Jasad. And if you were dealing with a
Starfleet officer, they’d probably admit we have a hopeless cause here.
here's how this will work. i will teach you the concept of baseball and linear time. and in return, you will give me some coping strategies to deal with the loss of my beloved wife.
Your chances of survival while serving on a Miranda-class starship are slim to none. It beats out the Oberth-class starship in death rates, if only because the Oberth-class didn’t see service during the Dominion War. If your ship doesn’t get shot out from under you because you’re a disposable first wave in a Big Battle, then you’ll just pick up something deadly while on a routine patrol or supply run.*
*okay the 2280s Saratoga *might* not be dead, just filled with scared and exhausted officers. There’s no guarantee the whale probe undid what it did to all the ships that were in its path originally, and even if it did, that everyone survived in the interim.
