"For the Uniform" Line-by-Line

WORF: The Cardassians are already evacuating. And Eddington has announced that the Maquis intend to reclaim the planet once they are gone.

 

Kira: What I don't understand is where the Maquis got the materials to make a biogenic weapon.

 

DAX: I do. I should've seen it earlier. The selenium and rhodium nitrites they hijacked can be reformulated, and with some work, synthesised to produce cobalt diselenide.

 

Sisko: Where's the Malinche?

 

KIRA: On the other side of the Badlands. They're headed for Veloz Prime now, but by the time they get there...

 

Sisko: ...Eddington will be long gone.

 

KIRA: Given the amount of chemical compounds Eddington stole, how many of these weapons will he be able to make?

 

Sisko: Enough to poison every Cardassian colony in the DMZ.

 

DAX: There must be something we can do. Worf, are there any other starships near Veloz Prime?

 

Worf: The Malinche is our only ship in the sector.

 

KIRA: So unless they stop Eddington, the Maquis have turned the tide.

 

Sisko: There is another ship in the area, it's moored at docking bay 3.

Without needing to hear another word, Kira, Worf and Dax follow Sisko to the turbolift.

Sisko: Defiant.

 

(Defiant engine room - to call it a mess is an understatement)

O'Brien: It's going to be tricky, Captain. Only half the systems are back online and most of those are not operating at full capacity.

 

Sisko: What about the warp drive?

 

O'BRIEN: We can go to warp six, but the inertial dampers haven't been fully repaired so don't expect a smooth ride.

 

DAX: The weapons are also online but the targeting scanners have to be manually calibrated. We can shoot, but God knows what we'll hit.

 

Sisko: What about communications?

 

O'BRIEN: The Defiant's comm. system is fried, and I do mean fried.

 

DAX: Well, we still have our comm badges.

 

O'BRIEN: I'm afraid not. They won't work either, not with all the interference from the unshielded EPS conduits.
