• [last lines] 

  Dr. Julian Bashir : 31 isn't just trying to stop us from finding a cure. They're trying to cover up the fact that they set out to commit genocide.

  Chief O'Brien : Well, if they gave Odo this disease, then they must have a cure.

  Dr. Julian Bashir : We have to find a way to get our hands on that cure.

  Chief O'Brien : Huh... Before 31 gets their hands on us.

  Chief O'Brien : Is that Odo?

  Dr. Julian Bashir : Part of him, anyway.

  O'Brien : Basically, we stumbled onto it by accident. At Chin'toka, our entire fleet was disabled when the Breen used their energy dampening weapon. 311 ships, Federation, Klingon and Romulan, all lost power.

  Sisko : But one didn't. A Bird of Prey called the Ki'tang.

  Ross : Why? What was different about the Ki'tang?

  O'Brien : We're not really sure. The only thing we can figure is that just prior to the engagement, their chief engineer adjusted the tritium intermix to compensate for a containment problem in the warp core.

  Martok : I've ordered every vessel in the Klingon fleet to adjust its reactor in the same way.

  Velal : Our vessels are of a different design. Can this technique be adapted to protect them as well?

  Sisko : Unfortunately, no. Your ships are still vulnerable and so are ours.

  O'Brien : I've sent everything we know about the Breen weapon to the Romulan Ministry of Science and to Starfleet Engineering, but realistically, it's going to take a while before they can figure out a way to protect our ships.

  Sisko : Thank you, Mister O'Brien.
