It is always good to see you, Odo, but I have no intention of surrendering my forces. It would be sign of weakness, an invitation to the Solids to cross into the Gamma Quadrant and destroy the Great Link.
Believe me when I say that the Federation has its flaws, but a desire for conquest is not one of them.
And what of the Romulans and the Klingons? Can you say the same for them?
The Romulan and Klingon Empires are in no position to invade anyone. Besides, the Federation would not allow it.
The Dominion has spent the last two years trying to destroy the Federation, and now you're asking me to put our fate in their hands?
Yes.
I'm sorry, Odo. I do not have your kind of faith in the Solids.
