Miles O'Brien and Daro in “Unfinished Business”

I was on Setlik III with Captain Maxwell the morning after the massacre. We were too late, of course. Almost everyone was dead.

It was a terrible mistake. We were told the outpost was a launching place for a massive attack against us.

The only people left alive were in an outlying district of the settlement. I was sent there with a squad to reinforce them. Cardassians were advancing on us, moving through the streets, destroying, killing. I was with a group of women and children when two Cardassian soldiers burst in. I stunned one of them. The other one jumped me. We struggled. One of the women threw me a phaser, and I fired. The phaser was set at maximum. The man just incinerated, there before my eyes. I'd never killed anything before. When I was a kid, I'd worry about swatting a mosquito. It's not you I hate, Cardassian. I hate what I became because of you.
