[Sisko is trying to arrest a former security officer turned traitor]
Sir, have you ever reminded Starfleet Command that they stationed Eddington here because they didn't trust me?
No.
Please do.
“For the Uniform” · Season 5, Episode 13
In this episode: Benjamin Sisko (4), Michael Eddington (2), Odo (1)
[broadcasting a message to the Maquis] To all members of the Maquis resistance: this is Captain Sisko of the USS Defiant. In response to the Maquis's use of biogenic weapons in their recent attacks, I am about to take the following action. In exactly one hour, I will detonate two quantum torpedoes that will scatter trilithium resin in the atmosphere of Solosos Three. I thereby will make the planet uninhabitable to all human life for the next fifty years. I suggest evacuation plans begin immediately.
[Sisko has just threatened to detonate biological weapons in the atmosphere of a Maquis colony]
What are you really up to, Javert? Do you expect me to believe that a decorated Starfleet officer, the pride of the service, is going to poison an entire planet?
That's exactly what I'm going to do.
You're bluffing.
Am I? (turns to Worf) Commander, launch torpedoes.
(Worf gives Sisko a hesitant look)
Commander, I said launch torpedoes!
[In response to Maquis terrorist attacks, Sisko has detonated biological weapons in the atmosphere of one of their colony worlds]
[aghast]Do you realise what you've done?
I've only just begun. I'm going to eliminate every Maquis colony in the DMZ.
You're talking about turning hundreds of thousands of people into homeless refugees!
That's right. When you attacked the Malinche, you proved one thing; that the Maquis have become an intolerable threat to the security of the Federation, and I am going to eliminate that threat.
But think about those people you saw in the caves, huddled and starving. They didn't attack the Malinche.
You should have thought about that before you attacked a Federation starship.
