[Alienesse]

BASHIR: Those are human life signs.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: Is there a Cardassian among them?

[Jungle]

(Kira, Bashir and Sisko are surrounded by armed civilians.)

HUDSON: I'm glad to see you had no trouble finding us, Ben.It seems that one disaster after another keeps bringing us back together again.

[LeadHead]

Moments later, we see Cal Hudson aiming a phaser at Sisko. Hudson lowers his weapon.

Hudson: You should have seen the look on your face when you saw me standing there Ben.

 

[Alienesse]

SISKO: I hardly recognized you without your uniform.

 

[LeadHead]

Hudson: Well, it's been feeling a little.. tight lately.

Hudson hands Sisko his uniform.

 

[Alienesse]

SISKO: Just like that...

 

[LeadHead]

Hudson: It;s just a uniform, Ben.

 

[Alienesse]

SISKO: Is that all it is? I remember when you first put it on.

 

[LeadHead]

Hudson: Yes, graduation day at the Academy. We both swore we'd be starship Captains by the time we were 30.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SISKO: And admirals by 40.

 

[Leandar]

Hudson: Yes.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SISKO: I think we've both done pretty well for ourselves.

 

[LeadHead]

Hudson: Yes we have haven't we. But now, I've got something better. These settlers, Ben. If you saw all they have accomplished without any help from the Federation, then you'd fight along with them.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SISKO: I don't think so.

 

[LeadHead]

Hudson: They traveled out here to the back and the beyond and built homes out of the wilderness. Now maybe the Federation can turn their back on them, but I can't.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SISKO: I'm not asking you to, but your joining the Maquis isn't helping anyone. Your actions have only endangered the treaty and put millions of lives at risk.

 

[Brian]

HUDSON: The Federation believes that it can solve every problem with a treaty, but out here, on the frontier, without the power of the Federation to back them up, a treaty is only a piece of paper.
