[Damar, Weyoun and the Breen officer Thot Gor are overseeing Dominion military reports]
Septimus Three has fallen.
Excuse me?
Septimus Three. An entire Cardassian Order has been wiped out. Five hundred thousand men!
[dismissive] Oh, yes. A great tragedy.
You promised reinforcements!
I promised nothing of the kind. I said the situation would be dealt with, and it was.
[appalled] By leaving them to be slaughtered by the Klingons?!
If you will calm down and listen, I will explain. The sacrifice made by the Eleventh Order will not be in vain. They forced the Klingons to commit worthwhile valuable troops and resources to capture a strategically worthless planet. [Thot Gor makes an affirmative noise] I'm glad you agree.
[outraged] Well, I don't. You condemned a half million loyal Cardassians!
If they were truly loyal Cardassians, then they died willingly for the Dominion. There can be no greater sacrifice.
How many more sacrifices will my people be asked to make?!
Your people, Damar? We are all one with the Dominion. Vorta, Cardassian, Jem'Hadar, the Breen. We all serve the Founders and we will all make whatever sacrifices they deem necessary.
