"The Homecoming"/"The Circle"/"The Siege" Line-by-Line!

[Enterprise1981]

SISKO: In my office.

 

[Alienesse]

O'BRIEN: Commander, two assault vessels are headed this way on direct course from Bajor. They're giving all non-Bajorans seven hours to evacuate.

 

[Brian]

SISKO: Admiral, are you up to date on my communiqués?

 

[Enterprise1981]

CHEKOTE (on monitor): I think so, Commander. How's it look?

 

[Alienesse]

SISKO: Not good. Jaro has the military, communications have been cut off and assault vessels are on the way here.

 

[Enterprise1981]

CHEKOTE: Are you preparing to withdraw?

 

[Brian]

SISKO: Admiral, we've just obtained evidence that the Circle's been receiving weapons from the Cardassians. If we withdraw, we'll be giving Bajor and the wormhole back to them.

 

[Alienesse]

CHEKOTE [on monitor]: Damn. That's a hell of a turn. How can these Bajorans get in bed with the Cardassians?

 

[Brian]

SISKO: They don't even know the Cardassians are involved.

 

[Enterprise1981]

CHEKOTE: Then you're saying it's a genuine political revolution internal to Bajor.

 

[Brian]

SISKO: Supported by the Cardassians.

 

[Alienesse]

CHEKOTE [on monitor]: But internal to Bajor. The Cardassians might involve themselves in other people's civil wars, but we don't. The Prime Directive applies, Ben.

 

[Brian]

SISKO: Admiral.

 

[Enterprise1981]

CHEKOTE: Would you say our people on the station are in danger?

 

[Brian]

SISKO: Yes.

 

[Enterprise1981]

CHEKOTE: There's no other choice but to evacuate. We'll have to worry about the long term political implications down the road. That's an order, Commander.

 

[Brian]

(Ops)
SISKO: Chief, how long will it take us to evacuate Deep Space Nine?

 

[Enterprise1981]

O'BRIEN: I'd say we could have all our people out and away in three hours.

 

[Brian]

SISKO: I mean a complete evacuation. I intend to take all Starfleet instruments, materiel. In fact, all Federation property of every kind. How quickly can we do that?

 

[Enterprise1981]

O'BRIEN: Sir, that'll take days. A week, for all I know. But those assault ships are going to be here in seven hours.
