Just had a thought...what if DS9/TNG had been reimagined so that when Picard was tortured in Chain of Command, Garak had been the torturer? How might DS9 (and Chain of Command) have been different?
Please elaborate. How? Garak is only known to have enjoyed his work as an agent in an organization which was created specifically to do what he did. For all we know he only ever tortured people who deserved it. Dukat, on the other hand, openly admitted to mass murder of Bajorans, told Sisko he should have turned their planet into a graveyard the likes of which the galaxy had never seen, released a Pah Wraith into the wormhole in what could be considered an attempted genocide, beat Sisko with a metal pipe even though he posed no threat, is responsible for allowing the Dominion into the Alpha Quadrant in the first place and that's to say nothing of his ultimate duping of the Kai, murder of Jadzia Dax, or abandoning of Sisko and crew in what was then hostile Klingon territory.Personally, I think he's a much worse person than Dukat
Raising rations and living conditions (or whatever it was, it's been a while since I've seen much DS9).
People here wouldn't love Garak so much, even though we know he has a history of not only torturing, but enjoying it. Personally, I think he's a much worse person than Dukat, though like Dukat he is very charming.
Under such circumstances, I wonder what it would have been like for Sisko to meet the man who tortured "Locutus" prior to meeting the Prophets in Emissary.Imagine Sisko having to work alongside a man who'd tortured one of the most respected captains in the Fleet.
