Having learned of the detention of Aamin Marritza as a Cardassian national, Gul Dukat hails Commander Sisko via subspace, demanding Marritza's release and noting that his detention breached a Federation promise to allow free and safe passage through the station and its jurisdiction. Having revealed his relatively innocuous identity and the truth of his presence on Gallitep, he challenges Kira to release him, accusing her of being more interested in vengeance than justice. Marritza tells Kira that it was Gul Darhe'el himself who began circulating rumors of large-scale massacres at Gallitep, based on the logic that the rumors on their own would be just as effective as having actually killed millions of Bajorans in achieving the Cardassians' main goal: " To keep you Bajorans thinking of yourselves as victims. Promising to "make lies more opaque," Marritza confesses to having served at the camp as a file clerk, without any connection to the atrocities that had taken place there under Gul Darhe'el – even as he minimizes them, turning Kira's interrogation into a debate over the deaths being the result of fights between the workers and industrial accidents (Marritza's story) and systematic abuse and brutality (Kira's). Kira commences interrogating Marritza about his claim of having "missed honor" of being at Gallitep, confronting him with the results of the bioscan that proved him to have been. Once Kainon is gone, Odo informs Kira that he has done a background check and confirmed what little they know about Marritza so far.Īs Kira enters the holding cell area, Marritza finishes a bowl of sem'hal stew, which he says could use some yamok sauce. The man, Kainon, tells Odo he wants to know when the Cardassian will be hanged. Odo is releasing an intoxicated Bajoran as Kira enters the security office. Sisko reluctantly agrees and informs Odo of the change via his combadge. While Kira acknowledges that she is not objective, she promises as his first officer to handle the case fairly, as she owes it to the victims of Gallitep. He acknowledges that Minister Kaval put Kira in charge, but he does not feel Kira can be entirely objective in the investigation. The minister assertively assures Sisko that the man will pay if he was indeed at Gallitep and reminds Sisko that Deep Space 9 is a Bajoran station.įinding Kira sitting at a table in the Replimat, Sisko joins her to inform her that Odo, as Chief of Security, will take over the Marritza investigation. However, Sisko reminds Kaval that the Cardassian has done nothing wrong, and he therefore has no reason to detain the man much longer. Kaval has contacted Sisko to congratulate and thank him for detaining Marritza. Bashir exits and Sisko puts Minister Kaval on his desktop monitor's viewscreen. His conversation with Sisko is interrupted as Kira contacts Sisko to inform him that he has an incoming transmission from the Bajoran Minister of State. A Bajoran prisoner in another holding cell wakes as the Cardassian speaks and yells for Odo, refusing to be held in the same room as Marritza.īack in Sisko's office, Bashir confirms that a bio-probe proved Marritza's condition is Kalla-Nohra, not Pottrik Syndrome. Further, he denies ever being at a labor camp, as he is a file clerk who resides on Kora II. In the brig, when Sisko asks Marritza about his illness, Marritza claims he has Pottrik Syndrome, a similar condition to Kalla-Nohra, and that his medication is the same as that which is used to treat Kalla-Nohra Syndrome. As she describes the brutal conditions at the camp, her voice cracks with emotion. However, she is certain that there is no way to contract Kalla-Nohra Syndrome except for the mining accident at Gallitep. In Odo's office, Kira admits to Commander Benjamin Sisko and Odo that the Bajoran Provisional Government has not listed the Cardassian, Aamin Marritza, for any war crimes. Kira informs Odo that the Cardassian is a war criminal and Odo escorts the man to the security office. Kira and Bashir follow shortly, and Bashir is obviously clueless. The Cardassian man runs past Kira and onto the Promenade only to be stopped by Constable Odo and two deputies. When Kira reaches the infirmary, she finds Bashir's patient is not a Bajoran, but a Cardassian. The disease originated from a mining accident at the Gallitep labor camp, which Kira helped liberate during the Occupation, so she goes to greet the new arrival in the infirmary, believing him to be a Bajoran. Doctor Bashir is unfamiliar with the disease, but Kira recognizes it immediately. A Kobheerian freighter, the Rak-Miunis, arrives with a passenger who requires medical assistance for a condition known as Kalla-Nohra Syndrome. It is a typical day in Ops as Major Kira and Lieutenant Dax exchange childhood stories.
