"Second Skin" Line-By-Line

[Alienesse]

DAX: Still holding. As far as their scanners are concerned, we should still look like a Kobheerian freighter.

 

[BlueStuff]

GARAK: It's probably just a routine security check.

 

[Alienesse]

DAX: They're hailing us.

 

[BlueStuff]

SISKO: Drop out of warp. I don't want to get too close to them. Is the communications holo-filter ready?

 

[Alienesse]

DAX: I can make your comm. image look like a three thousand ton screech rhino if you want me to.

 

[BlueStuff]

SISKO: A Kobheerian Captain will do nicely, Lieutenant. Engage the overlay. Put them on screen.

 

[Alienesse]

BENIL [on viewscreen]: This is Gul Benil of the Eighth Order.

[BlueStuff]

SISKO: Cardassia Prime. We're carrying a shipment of Kobheerian toranium intended for military use.

 

[Alienesse]

BENIL [on viewscreen]: Prepare to be boarded.

 

[BlueStuff]

DAX: They're headed toward us. If they get any closer, they might be able to identify us.

 

[Alienesse]

SISKO: Gul Benil, our toranium is urgently needed on Cardassia. I would hate for you to have to explain why it was delayed.

 

[BlueStuff]

BENIL [on viewscreen]: The toranium can wait. Maquis activity is on the rise in this sector. By order of the Central Command, all incoming ships are to be stopped and searched.

 

[Alienesse]

GARAK: Drop the holo-filter. Do it. I can get us out of this if you let me talk to them.

 

[BlueStuff]

SISKO: Please stand by. Are we within their weapons range yet?

 

[Alienesse]

DAX: No.

 

[BlueStuff]

SISKO: Do as he says, but be prepared to get us out of here fast if it doesn't work.

[Cardassian ship]

GARAK [on viewscreen]: Gul Benil.
