You can't be serious! Commander, if I were allowed on Cardassia, do you really think I'd be living here?
Which brings up an interesting point. There're certain ministers in the Bajoran government who are concerned about your presence on the station; in fact, they want you removed. Right now, I see no alternative but to honor their request, unless of course... I can show them how you might be valuable to us.
Rescuing Kira would go a long way toward improving your standing with the Bajoran government.
Why should I care what the Bajoran government thinks of me?
I don't know. But it seems to me, if someone were in trouble with the Cardassian Central Command, a Bajoran space station under Federation control might just be the safest place in the galaxy.
Commander, this is extortion.
Hmm...yes, it is.
