The Jem ' Hadar ( episode ) On a camping trip in the Gamma Quadrant , Sisko , Jake , Nog , and Quark encounter the ruthless soldiers of the Dominion , the Jem ' Hadar . ( " Season finale " ) Summary . Teaser . Jake Sisko brushes a small plant as Commander Benjamin Sisko enters the room . He tells his father he is growing Bajoran katterpod s for a science project to see which hybrid yields the largest root . " " That ' s it ? You ' re just going to watch them grow ? " " Benjamin asks . Jake seems content with the project , but Benjamin thinks he can find something more challenging and asks what Jake would do if he could choose any science project he wanted . After thinking it over for a second , Jake says he would learn how to pilot a runabout . As that would not be a science project , Benjamin asks for his second choice and Jake suggests he would visit the Gamma Quadrant to conduct a planetary survey . " " All right , let ' s do it , " " Sisko declares , calling the proposed trip a working vacation . As Major Kira reviews the arrival roster for Sisko , she suggests he visit New Bajor while in the Gamma Quadrant , as she has heard the new irrigation system is impressive . He tells her he hopes to spend time alone with Jake and notes with amusement that he will miss a reunion between Jadzia Dax and a rival of hers , Captain Keogh . When she mentions that Keogh is arrogant , Sisko notes that Keogh had said the same of her . Jake enters and announces that he has invited Nog to come along on their trip , at which point Dax and Kira sense the awkwardness of the moment and quickly leave . Sisko reminds Jake that the two of them were supposed to spend time together , but Jake says Nog plans to drop out of school if he fails the project . Reluctantly , Sisko agrees to let Nog come along . In Quark ' s bar , the Ferengi notes that Morn has been glumly sitting with the same drink all day and asks him to talk about whatever is bothering him . " " I ' m not just your bartender – I ' m your friend . Whatever it is that ' s wrong , I ' m here for you . " " However , Odo walks by as Morn is about to speak and Quark immediately loses interest . He anxiously follows Odo and inquires about Sisko ' s response to a request that he use the station ' s monitors to sell merchandise . Odo informs him it is a firm " no , " and as Quark wonders why , Odo suggests that perhaps Sisko does not like him . Quark dismisses the idea . He asks if there is any way to change Sisko ' s mind , to which Odo simply laughs and walks away . Nog interrupts his uncle ' s scheming to announce that he will be unable to work for the next few days . Upon hearing about the trip with Sisko and Jake , Quark grins and puts his arm around Nog . Act One . As he and Jake enter the cockpit of the runabout , Nog eagerly asks how to fire the phaser s . Jake begins to worry , but Nog reassures him it was a joke . Sisko enters behind the boys and suggests the two of them go in back and store their luggage . Nog volunteers to take Jake ' s bag for him , and once he is gone , it is clear Sisko did not find his joke humorous . " " Fire the phasers ? " " he asks rhetorically . Jake promises his father he will hardly know Nog is along , but Quark enters the cabin and asks where he should put his bag , surprising even Nog . Quark declares that Nog needs proper supervision , explaining innocently that Rom does not trust " hew - mons " and has requested he go along . Although Sisko obviously does not like the idea , he agrees at Jake ' s request . In the Gamma Quadrant , the motley crew visits an M - class planet similar to Earth , with lots of vegetation , fish , and insects but no large animals or predators . Sisko describes the planet as Paradise , but Quark fails to see the beauty of it and describes what he sees in two words : exploitable resources . He claims to have an allergic reaction to nature , although he declines an invitation to sleep on the runabout as he supposedly wants to get to know Sisko better . Later , once Quark puts ointment on his earlobes and begins to feel better , he comments on how there is nothing like facing the wilderness to bring people closer ; Sisko immediately tells him the answer is no . Quark dispenses with the flattery and claims that with access to the station ' s monitors he could offer " collectibles " such as Andorian jewelry , Bolian crystalsteel , and Vulcan IDIC pins at a significant discount . He even offers to donate 2 % of his net profits to the Bajoran fund for orphans but realizes he wasted his time in coming along . Jake and Nog begin their survey and conclude that the planet ' s atmosphere is 77 % nitrogen , 21 % oxygen , and 2 % carbon dioxide . They find traces of various elements in the water and inform Sisko that they plan to check other water sources , but Sisko suggests taking a break until tomorrow as he is about to cook dinner . Jake immediately knows what his father is getting at : jambalaya , which excites him but confuses Nog . Jake is sure Nog will love it , and he is right . As they sit around the campfire eating jambalaya , Jake and Nog both decline a second helping and Nog remarks that he is gaining an appreciation of Human food . On the other hand , Quark does not share his sentiments , disgusted by the fact that there is dirt in the sauce and bugs continue to land on his food . A somewhat confused Sisko says he was under the impression Ferengi liked eating bugs , but Quark corrects him : only certain " Ferengi " bugs . Talking in private , Sisko tells Jake to get some sleep because tomorrow will be another big day . The two of them reminisce about a camping trip on Itamish III when Jake ' s mother was still alive and taught him how to water ski . Jake says he cannot remember a time when the three of them were happier , reminding Sisko of how much he misses his late wife . Despite the rocky start their trip has had , they are both glad to have the opportunity to spend time together . When Sisko suggests that they do so more often , Jake says he ' ll be ready and jokingly adds that Nog will be too ; as the two of them laugh , a shrill cry from Quark brings them back to reality . The sleeve of Quark ' s shirt is on fire and he waves it around in a panic until Sisko grabs him with a blanket and extinguishes the flame . Once Quark calms down , Sisko asks if he is all right . A frustrated Quark declares he has not been all right since the trip began , to which an equally frustrated Sisko takes on a condescending tone as he tells Quark to sit down and be quiet . Nog hisses angrily and storms off into the forest , followed closely by Jake . Quark claims this is Sisko ' s fault because Nog could not stand to see his uncle insulted . He accuses Sisko of being bigoted toward the Ferengi , which Sisko denies , but when he asks Sisko to name a single Ferengi who Sisko likes , the commander is unable to do so . The two of them bicker until a panicked humanoid female enters the campsite , apparently running from something . Similar to a Human in appearance , the alien has elongated ears and a light complexion , but before Quark or Sisko can react , she emits a telekinetic energy discharge that knocks Sisko to the ground . She looks at Quark threateningly but he cowers in fear and tells her not to hurt him . She asks how many of " them " there are and Quark tells her there is only Sisko and himself . Confused , she tells him she meant the Jem ' Hadar . Sisko assures the alien they are not her enemies and she warns them to run . At that moment , several armed reptilian humanoids appear , seemingly out of thin air , and surround them . " " It ' s too late . You ' re done running , " " the lead one smirks to the runaway alien . " " This has " not " been a good day , " " Quark observes . Act Two . Traversing the foliage , Jake and Nog return to the campsite to find it deserted and the fire recently extinguished . Nog insists something has happened to their chaperons , suggesting a wild animal attacked them , but Jake reminds him that there are only insects and plants on the planet . " " Maybe they were attacked by a vicious tree ! " " Nog exclaims seriously . Jake dismisses Nog ' s comment but notes the presence of boot - shaped footprints below them . A visibly shaken Nog wants to beam aboard the runabout to plan their next move , but Jake insists that Quark and his father are in trouble , as he knows his father would not leave without telling him first . They decide to track the adults with their tricorder s . Quark , Sisko , and the alien are placed in a large cave , surrounded by a pinkish circle that appears to be emitting a force field . While his companions sit quietly on the ground , Quark wanders around the interior of the circle yelling for help . Sisko tells him to shut up , but he blames their situation on the alien , urging her to tell the Jem ' Hadar she has never seen him or Sisko before . As Quark denounces any association with the alien to the surrounding darkness , Sisko stands and again tells him to be quiet ; when the Ferengi claims he is entitled to his opinion , Sisko threatens to put his fist in Quark ' s " opinion . " However , Quark informs Sisko that he is incapable of being scared of him , as he is already more scared than he has ever been . Sisko tells Quark he ' s not helping , to which Quark points out that the alien is doing nothing but sit on the ground . Sisko thinks she is more scared than he or Quark is , although Quark reassures him this is not the case . The two of them sit as Quark begins to calm down and Sisko observes that their companion has probably been through a lot . They wonder what the boys are doing ; Quark is certain that Nog will " find the nearest dark hole and climb in it , " but Sisko thinks Jake will search for them . Shifting focus to the force field surrounding them , Sisko reaches toward the pinkish circle but the alien intervenes , informing him that the security barrier is lethal . Sisko thanks her for the warning and comes closer to her , eager to find out how she knew this information . She says everything about the Jem ' Hadar is lethal and on learning that Sisko has never heard of the Jem ' Hadar , she seems surprised . Sisko introduces himself , explaining about the Federation and the wormhole . The alien says her name is Eris and she uncertainly shakes Sisko ' s hand . Introducing Quark somewhat dismissively – the Ferengi returns the favor by simply nodding with a hint of annoyance – Sisko focuses again on the Jem ' Hadar . Eris tells him the Jem ' Hadar are the most feared soldiers in the Dominion and upon hearing the Dominion ' s name , Quark interjects himself into the conversation . He mentions Ferengi efforts over the past year to open trade negotiations with the Dominion and he seems to doubt Eris ' credibility , as he has never heard of the Jem ' Hadar in all that time . When Eris says that negotiations with the Dominion are dangerous , Sisko wonders why anyone does business with the Dominion at all . However , doing business is not a choice ; the Dominion decides a civilization has something it wants and then takes it , as was the case with Eris ' people . Eris tells of how her homeworld , Kurill Prime , was offered entry into the Dominion . When they refused , the Dominion sent in the Jem ' Hadar and seized the planet by force . At the time , she was on a freighter , which fled in light of the Dominion invasion . The Jem ' Hadar tracked her down because her mother was an outspoken opponent of the Dominion . A telekinetic suppression collar is around Eris ' neck , and without it she says she might be able to break through the force field . However , she believes that escape would be impossible even if she did break through , as no one escapes from the Jem ' Hadar . Sisko points out the limited number of guards , indicating overconfidence on the Jem ' Hadar ' s part . He attempts to take the device off , believing it is the only thing between them and freedom . Meanwhile , Jake and Nog have aimlessly wandered through the forest for hours when Jake picks up humanoid life sign s on his tricorder . They spot the Jem ' Hadar camp and while Jake wants to get a closer look , Nog points out the Jem ' Hadar probably will not look any friendlier close up . Act Three . Having resumed his attempts to attract attention , Quark continues to yell into the darkness as Sisko and Eris talk . Eris asks whether they have to take Quark with them if they escape and as he works on the suppression collar , Sisko points out that Quark ' s seemingly useless chatter is in fact serving a purpose . After all , he points out as a Jem ' Hadar officer named Talak ' talan enters , if there ' s one thing Quark is good at , it is attracting attention . Quark and Eris stand behind Sisko as Talak ' talan deactivates the force field and steps into the circle . He refuses to discuss why they are being held , stating only that " the Founder s " do not want them released . Quark intervenes and offers Talak ' talan a thousand cases of tulaberry wine ; his response is to grab Quark by the chest forcefully , nearly crushing the Ferengi ' s rib cage . Sisko begins to intervene , but pulling out a phaser , Talak ' talan tells him not to bother and throws Quark to the ground . When Sisko demands to speak with the Founders , Eris defiantly claims they do not exist . Talak ' talan insists they do and reveals that the Founders created the Dominion . However , he refuses to allow Sisko to speak with them . Looking down at Quark with disdain , Talak ' talan says he had hoped the first race he would meet from the other side of " the anomaly " would be the Klingon s . Sisko sarcastically apologizes and Talak ' talan warns him it is too late for apologies and the Dominion will not allow ships from the Alpha Quadrant to violate its territory . He says he has heard the Klingons are effective warriors and mentions the " bat ' leth " , demonstrating his knowledge about the Alpha Quadrant ; when Sisko is not interested in discussing the Klingons , Talak ' talan brings up the Cardassian s . After asking somewhat rhetorically if Sisko is satisfied with the Federation - Cardassian Treaty , he calls it a " tactical error " on the Federation ' s part . Sisko asks how he knows all of this , and Talak ' talan informs him that the Dominion gains more knowledge every day . He refuses to give the Dominion any information , but Talak ' talan says he will not be asking the questions . Asked who will be asking them , he remarks , " " I was really hoping to meet a Klingon . " " Reactivating the force field , he leaves . Jake and Nog beam aboard the runabout and scan the planet ' s surface for Human and Ferengi life signs . They attempt to beam Quark and Sisko up , but the computer is unable to do so due to what it calls a spatial distortion field . Jake suggests that they fly back to Deep Space 9 to get help and Nog agrees , telling the computer to plot a course back to the station . It asks him to restate the command , so Jake tells it to disengage the autopilot system ; however , neither of the boys knows the authorization code . An alarm sounds and a red light flashes as the computer announces that a vessel is approaching , which causes them to panic . " " Computer ! Evasive maneuvers ! Fire phaser s ! Launch torpedoes ! And escape pod s ! " " Nog yells frantically , although the computer is still locked and does not comply . When they tell the computer to display the ship , it disappears , having gone to warp . Left with no other options , Jake says he will have to disengage the autopilot manually . On the station , the is due to arrive in eight hours when something begins coming through the wormhole . Kira tells Dax to display it on the viewscreen and it is a Jem ' Hadar attack ship . Dax hails the vessel and raises the station ' s shields , but a Jem ' Hadar beams into Ops despite the shields . O ' Brien activates a containment field around the intruder and Kira introduces herself before telling the Jem ' Hadar it is " customary " to identify oneself before beaming into someone else ' s command center . The Jem ' Hadar introduces himself as Talak ' talan of the Jem ' Hadar and informs Kira that Commander Sisko has been detained indefinitely . Sisko , he says , will serve as an example to anyone who interferes with the Dominion by coming through the wormhole . Dax defiantly tells him that idle threats will not stop the Federation from exploring the Gamma Quadrant , so he walks through the force field and gives Kira a Bajoran PADD with a list of vessels he says have been destroyed for violating Dominion territory . The PADD came from New Bajor , he tells her , adding that they fought well for a " spiritual " people . He beams back aboard his ship and O ' Brien attempts unsuccessfully to lock on with a tractor beam as it re - enters the wormhole . Act Four . Sisko finally pries the casing on Eris ' collar loose to reveal a locking mechanism . She asks what he plans to do if she breaks through the barrier and he tells her he can contact his son and the runabout , inviting her to come back to the Federation with them . When Sisko asks Quark to help him with the collar , Quark turns around angrily and tells Sisko he is tired of being ordered around . Eris watches them with interest . He claims he has realized why Humans dislike Ferengi : They used to be a lot like them . As Quark points out , however , events in Earth history such as slavery , concentration camp s and interstellar wars are far worse than anything committed by the Ferengi ; therefore , he claims , the Ferengi are better . With that , he begins to work on the locking mechanism . Sitting on the floor of the runabout surrounded by isolinear chip s , Jake and Nog continue to work on the autopilot system . Jake claims he watched Chief O ' Brien work on the navigational array of the " Mekong " a couple of weeks ago , but Nog is skeptical . As they pull out another chip , the computer announces that the warp core will collapse in ten seconds and begins counting down . Once he realizes what is happening , Jake hurriedly replaces the chip . A burst of inspiration comes to him and he searches with his hand for something in the control panel ; he removes a small device and the computer tells him the autopilot system is offline . The boys are elated until they tell the computer to lay in a course for the wormhole and it again reports that the autopilot system is offline . They prepare to attempt to fly the runabout manually , although neither of them knows what they are doing . Meanwhile , the " Galaxy " class starship " Odyssey " has arrived at Deep Space 9 and Captain Keogh informs the crew that traffic through the wormhole has been suspended until the " Odyssey " can investigate what kind of threat the Jem ' Hadar pose . Dax insists that the remaining runabouts go with him and he notes the lack of combat experience among most of the crew . When Bashir reminds him that they have fought the Maquis before , Keogh tells him he expects the Dominion to have " sharper teeth . " Kira points out that in that case he needs all the help he can get and Keogh reluctantly agrees to let them come along . O ' Brien reports that he has already begun to refit the runabouts with extra banks of photon torpedo es and that they will be ready within a few hours ; Dax notes that it will take at least that long to offload nonessential personnel from the " Odyssey " . Walking through a corridor with a Bajoran deputy on one side and a Starfleet one on the other , Odo reviews additional security protocols , which he plans to implement in preparation for a potential Jem ' Hadar attack . When he sees Kira approach him , he dismisses the deputies . She reminds him that his duties do not require him to go along on the mission , obviously worried for his safety . He acknowledges this as they walk toward the runabout pads but tells her that someone should be there to look after Quark while the others worry about Sisko . A surprised Kira says she was under the impression he hated Quark . He does , he tells her , but he would rather see Quark in jail than in the hands of the Dominion . Odo believes that they would all miss Quark if something happened to him . " " I ' d be willing to take that chance , " " Kira responds . " " But not today . " " The " Odyssey " , " Mekong " , and " Orinoco " travel to the Gamma Quadrant to find it surprisingly void of Jem ' Hadar activity . Tachyon scan s show up negative , but Keogh notes the Dominion might have cloaking technology . As the other ships search for them , Jake attempts to fly the " Rio Grande " manually – and , as Nog points out , very slowly . Nog impatiently presses him to go to warp , but Jake is still learning how to fly at impulse ; Nog urges him to at least go a " little " faster and he points out how difficult it is to make manual course corrections without the aide of a computer . In any case , at their current speed Jake estimates it will take them five years to reach DS9 . The boys are thrilled when they see the " Odyssey " and the other runabouts drop out of warp and O ' Brien beams aboard the " Rio Grande " . He reassures Jake that they plan to rescue Sisko . Act Five . Picking at the collar around Eris ' neck , Quark remarks that the device is very sophisticated and much slimmer than most telekinetic suppression collar s he has seen . Eris complains that he is hurting her , but seconds later he manages to break through the lock and she removes the collar . She tells Sisko and Quark to stand back and disables the force field using the same telekinetic attack that she previously used to shock Sisko , prompting a nearby Jem ' Hadar to run toward them . Sisko tackles the soldier and manages to take his weapon , shooting him and tossing the weapon to Quark . Stuffing the telekinetic suppressor in his pocket , Quark shoots a second Jem ' Hadar as it decloaks and attempts to shoot Sisko . The three of them leave the cavern together . The " Odyssey " and the runabouts assume an attack formation as they detect three Jem ' Hadar attack ship s on long - range sensor s . However , O ' Brien informs Keogh that he will have to break formation as half of the runabout ' s systems are nonfunctional . Keogh tells him to head for the wormhole but gives him ten minutes to try to locate Sisko . The Jem ' Hadar ships come within firing range and Keogh orders them to use attack pattern delta , but when they engage the ships , the Jem ' Hadar use a phased polaron beam to penetrate the " Odyssey " s shields . In their first pass , they knock out the forward torpedo launcher and port nacelle . After rotating through the entire spectrum of shield harmonic s , Keogh realizes the shields will be of no use and has his crew divert shield power to the weapon systems . The Jem ' Hadar seem intent to focus on the " Odyssey " , despite the " Mekong " and " Orinoco " s attempts to draw fire away from it . Oblivious to the events transpiring around them , Eris , Quark , and Sisko run through the woods looking for Jake and Nog . Quark is out of breath and must rest but Sisko refuses to leave him behind , noting that they would not have escaped from the Jem ' Hadar without him . They are transported off the surface as they talk . Once in the runabout , Sisko greets Jake warmly , while Quark grabs Nog ' s ear and tells him he is never going on a field trip again . As the " Mekong " , the " Orinoco " , and the " Odyssey " concentrate their fire on a single Jem ' Hadar fighter , it returns fire on the " Mekong " s sensor array , disabling it , and it is forced to initiate evasive maneuvers as the Federation forces appear to be losing the dogfight . Fortunately , O ' Brien contacts the " Odyssey " to inform them he has rescued Sisko and the others . Keogh tells the runabouts it is time to leave , but as the ships retreat , one of the Jem ' Hadar ships heads straight for the " Odyssey " . Kira and Bashir try to intercept it with no success , but rather than fire at the larger vessel , the Jem ' Hadar intentionally ram the " Odyssey " s secondary hull at the deflector dish , initiating a chain reaction that causes the ship to explode . There is a momentary silence , as no one can believe what they have just seen . O ' Brien , still stunned , wonders aloud why anyone would ram a retreating vessel . Sisko realizes the unfortunate answer : The Jem ' Hadar were sending the Federation a message about the Gamma Quadrant . With the other Jem ' Hadar vessels gone , the runabouts solemnly return to the Alpha Quadrant . Quark pulls Sisko aside as the others exit the runabouts , holding up the telepathic suppressor and telling him they need to talk . Meanwhile , the rest of the crew greets Eris in Ops . She comments on how disorienting it is to think she is on the other side of the galaxy , but Sisko enters , armed and tells her she will have to get used to it . The rest of the crew backs away from Eris as Sisko approaches her , accompanied by Quark , still holding the collar . Quark explains that he believed there might be a market for the suppressor in the Alpha Quadrant — until he realized the collar was nothing but a sophisticated locking device . Sisko notes that she could have used her telekinetic abilities at any time and asks why she did not ; as Eris points out , he already knows the answer . The Jem ' Hadar wanted Sisko and the others to escape in order to plant Eris as a spy . " " Well done , Commander , " " she replies arrogantly as he hypothesizes . However , she is not a Founder . As Odo moves to arrest Eris , she transports off the station , although to where it is uncertain . As she did not rematerialize on the station and there are no nearby starships , there is no way to track the Vorta . Only one thing is certain : the Dominion will be back , and since the space station is the most likely location of contact , Sisko resolves to be ready for them . Memorable quotes . " " JAMBAWASSA POT " " " " Pretty isn ' t it ? " " " " I don ' t see what ' s so pretty about it . " " " " I think they mean the trees and stuff . " " " " Quark ! This is as close to paradise as you ' re going to get . All you need to do is allow yourself to see it ! " " " " I ' ll tell you what I see , in two words : exploitable resources . " " " " I get a mild reaction now and then . " " " " To what ? " " " . . . " Nature . " " " " You Federation types are all alike : You talk about tolerance and understanding , but you only practice it toward people who remind you of yourselves . Because you disapprove of " Ferengi " values , you scorn us , distrust us , " insult " us every chance you get . " " " " Quark , I don ' t have to stand here and defend myself . " " " " Tell me , commander , would you allow your son to marry a Ferengi female ? " " " " I never thought about it ! " " " Exactly " my point ! " " " " I ' m telling you , Jake , something ' s happened to them . Maybe they were attacked by a wild animal . " " " " You heard my dad . There aren ' t any wild animals , just insects and plants . " " " " Maybe they were attacked by a vicious tree . " " " " I have the right to express my opinion . " " " " I ' m about to put my fist in your opinion . " " " " I don ' t think they ' ll get any friendlier close up ! " " " " I ' m Third Talak ' talan of the Jem ' Hadar . I am here to inform you that your commander has been detained for questioning by the Dominion . " " " " Detained ? For how long ? " " " " Indefinitely . Commander Sisko will serve as an example of what happens to anyone who interferes with the Dominion . " " " " What kind of interference are you talking about ? " " " " Coming through the Anomaly is interference enough . Unless you wish to continue to offend the Dominion , I suggest you stay on your side of the Galaxy . " " " " You ' re making a mistake if you think that detaining Commander Sisko will stop us from exploring the Gamma Quadrant . " " " " We anticipated that response . " " " " Here is a list of vessels we ' ve destroyed for violating our territory . " " " " Where did you get this data PADD ? " " " " From the Bajoran colony on our side of the Anomaly . You should be proud . I hear they fought well for a " spiritual " people . I hope we won ' t have to repeat this lesson . " " " " The way I see it , hew - mons used to be a lot like Ferengi : greedy , acquisitive , interested only in profit . We ' re a constant reminder of a part of your past you ' d like to forget . " " " " We don ' t have time for this . . . " " " " But you ' re overlooking something : Hew - mons used to be a lot worse than the Ferengi . Slavery . Concentration camps . Interstellar wars . We have nothing in our past that " approaches " that kind of barbarism . You see ? We ' re nothing like you . We ' re better . Now , if you ' ll excuse me , I have a lock to pick . " " " " If you ' re going to try to rescue them , then we ' re coming with you . " " " " Are you sure that ' s wise ? With the exception of Major Kira and Mister O ' Brien , none of you ' ve had much combat experience . " " " " We fought the Maquis . " " " " All the Maquis had were a pair of lightly - armed shuttlecraft . I expect the Dominion to have sharper teeth . " " " " Well then , you ' re gonna need all the help you can get ! " " " " Uncle Quark ! " " " " Nog , you ' ll never going on a field trip again . " " " " We were retreating . There was no need for a suicide run . " " " " They ' re showing us how far they ' re willing to go . " " " " She ' ll be back . The question is who she ' ll bring with her . " " " " If the Dominion comes through the Wormhole , the first battle will be fought here . And I intend to be ready for them . " " " " A Ferengi and a Human . I was hoping the first race I ' d meet from the other side of the Anomaly would be the Klingons . " " " " I ' m sorry to disappoint you . " " " " It ' s too late for apologies . The Dominion will no longer stand by and allow ships from your side to violate our territory . " " " " You have no idea what ' s begun here . " " Links and references . References .
