"Second Skin" Line-By-Line

[Athena28]

KIRA: I'll keep that in mind. I suppose if I walk out of here, you'll try to stop me.

 

[BlueStuff]

GHEMOR: I don't have to. You wouldn't get half a kilometre without being detected by the Obsidian Order.

 

[Athena28]

KIRA: Maybe I'm willing to take that chance.

 

[BlueStuff]

GHEMOR: Iliana.

 

[Alienesse]

KIRA: Stop calling me that. I am not your daughter and I never was. I'm leaving.

 

[BlueStuff]

GHEMOR: You'll never get off Cardassia. In the end, you'll just make things worse for yourself. I can only do so much to help you.

 

[Alienesse]

KIRA: If you want to help me, get me off this planet. I will never cooperate with the Order. Eventually, they're going to realize that, they'll interrogate me and I won't survive.

 

[BlueStuff]

GHEMOR: I promise you that will never happen. I'll never allow the Order to harm you. No matter what you decide, I won't let them hurt you. I only ask one thing. Before you make your decision, I beg you, watch the recording Entek gave you. It's the only way you'll ever really know the truth.
(Ghemor leaves, and Kira puts the rod into a console)

 

[Alienesse]

KIRA: Begin playback.

 

[BlueStuff]

ILIANA: Hello, Iliana. Welcome home. I've been asked to make these recordings for myself, for you, to help my memory recover when I get back. I go in for my surgery tomorrow. I'm going to miss Cardassia, but I know what I'm doing is right. The terrorism on Bajor has to be stopped. Father doesn't want me to go. Mother just looks unhappy all the time. I hope some day they'll understand. I want them to be proud of me.

[Defiant Bridge]

SISKO: How're the modifications to the shield harmonics holding up?

 

[BlueStuff]

DAX: So far, so good. Nobody here but us Kobheerians.

 

[Alienesse]

SISKO: We're well into Cardassian space, so keep a close eye on that shield modulator. If it breaks down, we could be in for some unwelcome company.

 

[BlueStuff]

ODO: Commander, I just caught Garak snooping around the access corridor outside the main phaser banks.

 

[Alienesse]

GARAK: I was merely taking a stroll to stretch my legs. The quarters on this vessel are rather claustrophobic.

 

[BlueStuff]

SISKO: Confine him to his cabin for the rest of the trip, and post a guard at the door.

 

[Alienesse]

GARAK: Commander, I must protest.

 

[BlueStuff]

SISKO: You can protest all you like, I-

 

[Alienesse]

DAX: Benjamin, I'm detecting two Galor class warships headed this way.

 

[BlueStuff]

SISKO: What about the shield harmonics?
