Meanwhile on Bajor , Kai Winn releases the Pah - wraiths from the Fire Caves which threatens the safety of not only Bajor , but the entire Alpha Quadrant . ( Part 9 of 9 ) ( " Series finale " ) Summary . Teaser . In his quarters , Julian Bashir and Ezri Dax wake up , having slept together for the first time the night before . The two are enjoying their new relationship . However , Julian worries that , now that they ' re together , something might happen to them , for the couple are due to set off that day for the long - awaited invasion of Cardassia . Ezri makes a pact for the two of them ; they ' re both coming back alive . Miles and Keiko O ' Brien continue to raise their two children , Molly and Kirayoshi . They are a family excited to be returning to Earth after the end of the Dominion War , so that Miles can teach at Starfleet Academy . Miles just hasn ' t yet found the time to inform his best buddy , Julian , nor has he had the time to give him the model of the battle of the Alamo . Miles promises Keiko he ' ll tell Julian about his departure when he thinks he ' s ready to hear it , but it ' s clear he ' s not looking forward to breaking the news . In the Sisko quarters , Benjamin comforts a pregnant Kasidy , who is experiencing morning sickness . Jake drops by to walk his father to the new , formerly the USS " Sao Paulo " , on what everyone hopes to be the " final " mission of the war . Odo and Worf walk to the " Defiant " from the Promenade . They both hope to find Kira alive and well when they reach Cardassia Prime . Kira , meanwhile , is still hiding in Mila ' s basement with Damar and Garak , planning the Cardassian Rebellion . Act One . At Dominion Headquarters on Cardassia , Weyoun notes the Alliance ' s advance on their territory . They will pass the border in the morning . The Female Changeling is then talking with Thot Pran of the Breen , promising both Romulus and Earth as his reward if they win the war . While Pran takes his leave , Weyoun reminds the Founder that she had previously stated that he would have control of all Federation territories , " including " Earth . She responds that she would promise the Breen the " entire " Alpha Quadrant if it meant winning the war . Just then , Legate Broca reports that Damar is still alive , and he is in the capital city . Damar and Garak are stopped on the streets of the Cardassian capital by two Jem ' Hadar soldiers . They recognize Damar , who Garak claims is his cousin . The Jem ' Hadar silence him , telling them Damar will be taken in for questioning , while Garak will be killed on the spot . Suddenly , a Breen arrives , who the Jem ' Hadar can ' t understand and who kills them on the spot . It is actually Kira , disguised as a Breen . They safely continue on their way to the resistance meeting , where they plan the following day ' s course of action : sabotaging Cardassian power plants and communications , thereby cutting off the Dominion fleet from headquarters . On the bridge of the " Defiant " , the crew engages in small talk . Worf accepts Julian as Dax ' s new lover , even bantering with her about it . O ' Brien finds it difficult to tell Julian that he has accepted the teaching position on Earth . While talking to Odo about Kira , whom they haven ' t heard from , Sisko has another vision from the prophet appearing as Sarah , his mother . She tells the that his task is nearing completion , and that , cryptically , his journey ' s end lies not before him , " but behind him " . On Bajor , Dukat ( still appearing as a Bajoran ) enters the quarters of Kai Winn Adami , having regained his vision through the " forgiveness " of the Pah - wraith s . The Kai has learned the secrets of the " Book of the Kosst Amojan " , and claims to have been waiting for Dukat . Together , they embark to the depths of the Fire Caves to release the Pah - wraiths , who they hope will gain control of the Celestial Temple and destroy the Prophets – and their Emissary , Winn adds . Dukat announces that Sisko ' s fate will be left to him . Winn points out that Sisko may not survive the invasion of Cardassia . Dukat isn ' t worried , he ' s certain that Sisko will survive . . . and looks forward to " dealing " with him afterwards . Act Two . Quark , meanwhile , is passing time by playing " Go Fish " with Vic Fontaine in the holosuite wishing he was playing Tongo instead , but unfortunately , the game is not included in Vic ' s program , as it is period specific . Quark ' s is experiencing a noticeable lull in business in light of the heightened war effort . Quark can ' t help but worry about Nog and the others . He complains to Vic that people pass through his bar looking for a good time , never bothering to notice that he doesn ' t have a good time ; he ' s too busy making sure everyone else does . Vic tells Quark that the life of a bartender is a lonely one . But , alas , even Vic has better plans than Quark – he departs with a beautiful date to see Jimmy Durante and Peter Lawford at the Sands . Quark reminds Vic that a bartender ' s life is a lonely one , but Vic retorts that he isn ' t a bartender . On Bajor , Dukat and Kai Winn Adami have entered the Fire Caves . As the Female Changeling orders the Breen to fight side - by - side with the Jem ' Hadar , Weyoun notices that the Dominion lines are spread too thin at their center and proceeds to order more ships to reinforce it . Before he can send the order , all power is suddenly lost in the building . As emergency power comes on , Broca announces that the power disruption was due to an act of sabotage by civilians . The Founder grabs him by the throat , suspending him in mid - air , furious that the general population is rebelling . Broca , gasping for air , assures her it is an isolated uprising , and agrees that the civilians be severely punished for acts of resistance . Their long - range communications ( and ability to communicate with their fleet ) are still not working . Act Three . When power is restored to the Capitol about half an hour later , Weyoun broadcasts a message announcing the complete destruction of Lakarian City , home to two million Cardassian citizens , in retaliation for the acts of sabotage . After watching the broadcast , Garak ' s anger towards the Dominion is intensified . Damar laments not killing Weyoun when he had the chance . Kira assures him that he will get another chance if they attack Dominion Headquarters . Doing so could potentially end the war completely without an unnecessary bloodbath . Although Damar had spent nearly two years living in the building , he says there is no way to sneak in because his security codes are no longer valid . They will need to force their way in , and Garak prepares by setting up explosives . Klingon Chancellor Martok hails Captain Sisko and Admiral Ross , promising to drink a celebratory barrel of 2309 bloodwine with them on Cardassia Prime , as he had stated the year before . Act Four . The Dominion has fallen back to the Cardassian system in the Alpha Quadrant at this late stage of the war . Sisko , along with the entire Starfleet attack force , engages the Dominion Jem ' Hadar fighter s and Breen vessels there . The Breen ships in particular are highly maneuverable , and even the " Defiant " has a difficult time hitting one of them . As the dogfights ensue , several Jem ' Hadar fighters appear to ram Klingon Bird - of - Prey ships in apparent suicide run s . At Mila ' s house , a squad of Jem ' Hadar and Cardassian soldiers knocks on her door as Kira , Garak and Damar hide in the basement . Suddenly , Mila ' s corpse is dumped down the stairs to the basement , and the Jem ' Hadar also throw down a stun grenade , easily subduing the trio . The " Defiant " is in the thick of the battle , charging into enemy lines . Miles suffers a shoulder wound from exploding bridge debris and , during the heat of the battle , finally gets up the nerve to tell Julian that he and his family are leaving Deep Space 9 for Earth ; Miles has accepted a position teaching engineering at Starfleet Academy . Ross orders Sisko to take the " Defiant " to help bolster the Romulan line ; the Romulans have just lost their flagship . Back on Cardassia Prime , Dominion headquarters still cannot communicate with their fleet ; they have no idea how the battle is going for either side . Then , Broca comes to tell that Damar , Garak , and Kira are captured . The Female Changeling orders Damar ' s immediate execution . Act Five . Before the Jem ' Hadar can execute Damar , Kira and Garak , the Cardassian soldiers accompanying them kill the Jem ' Hadar first in retaliation for Lakarian City . They declare allegiance to Damar . In the midst of battle , the " Defiant " is taking heavy fire . As a Breen warship pelts her with torpedoes , it is suddenly destroyed by a Cardassian ship as the entire military turn on the Dominion for the destruction of Lakarian City , and begin attacking the Breen and Jem ' Hadar . Sisko rallies the Allied forces for an attack on the Dominion ' s center . When communications between planet - side headquarters and the Dominion fleet are brought back online and Weyoun learns of the Cardassians ' switching sides , the Female Changeling orders all of their forces to fall back to Cardassia Prime . Legate Broca offers to talk to the rebels , but he is taken away by Jem ' Hadar to be executed . The Founder then orders the extermination of the entire Cardassian population . Meanwhile , the Jem ' Hadar and Breen ships quickly turn around and retreat to Cardassia Prime . Sisko speaks with Martok and Admiral Ross , who are elated that the Cardassians have joined them . When Admiral Ross states that now that the Dominion has been driven to Cardassia Prime , they can be held indefinitely . Sisko and Martok remind him that the enemy still has an impressive ability at shipbuilding . In addition , the Cardassian forces are now compensating for the third of the fleet lost . They all agree they should continue onwards , until the Dominion has been thoroughly defeated . Back on Bajor , Dukat and the Kai have reached their final destination in the Fire Caves . As the Kai begins reading from the sacred text of the " Kosst Amojan " , the vast underground cavern springs to life , engulfed with billows of red flame . Act Six . As the resistance begins planning their strategy for entering Dominion headquarters , Garak enters to report that the capital city is being destroyed building by building , meaning they all need to make a quick escape . Garak mourns for Mila , a part of his life since he was a child growing up , and notes that he dreamed for years of returning home and even considered living in the house with her again . But now Mila is dead , the house is about to be destroyed and the Cardassia he knew is gone . When Kira tells Garak he can fight for a new Cardassia , he decides his new motivation for destroying the Dominion is revenge . Kira notes to herself that revenge is also a good reason to fight . Adami discards her Kai vestment , throwing it into the raging fire pit before them . She continues reading from the sacred text , invoking the spirit of the Pah - wraiths . On the " Defiant " , the crew regroups as reports come in that the Dominion is retaliating against the Cardassian people . Damar ' s resistance reaches Dominion Headquarters , and find the entrance protected by a neutronium door . There is no way to blast through , even with the explosives Garak prepared . To everyone ' s astonishment , Garak begins laughing . When Damar asks why , Garak asks him to consider the irony : their heroic charge into the " lair of the beast " is being thwarted by a locked door . Soon Kira , Damar , Ekoor , and the whole rebel party collapse with laughter . The Female Changeling is trying to keep the Breen in the fold . Then she collapses knowing she is going to die soon . She reveals to Weyoun she hasn ' t been able to change shape in weeks and the irony at the fact she is going to die as a solid . Damar suggests pretending to give himself up , but Kira warns him he ' ll be shot on sight . But the door opens from within . A pair of Jem ' Hadar drag Legate Broca and two other Cardassians outside and execute them with bayonets , then dumping their bodies . The Cardassians leap upon the opportunity and kill the executioners before engaging in a fire fight with several other Jem ' Hadar . While the resistance succeeds in breaking into the compound , Damar is fatally wounded and dies in Garak ' s arms , simply saying " " Keep . . . " " . Kira takes command , and reminds the Cardassians of Damar ' s orders that they don ' t stop until they capture the Female Changeling . Inside , Weyoun is alerted to the security breach and admits to the Changeling that there are only a few Jem ' Hadar guards in the building as most of them are assisting in the Cardassian extermination . He sends the few he has to guard the door , despite knowing they ' ll likely fail . The Federation Alliance has driven the Dominion all the way back to Cardassia Prime . The Dominion is cornered and the Alliance prepares to move in for the kill . Admiral Ross proposes a three - pronged attack : the Romulans and Cardassians will attack the Jem ' Hadar ; Chancellor Martok will lead the Klingons against the Breen ; and the Federation will knock out the orbital weapon platform s . Ross predicts that casualties will be about 40 % , and Martok expects that number to rise with their ground assault . The rebel strike team breaks into the heart of Dominion headquarters , capturing Weyoun and the Female Changeling . Only three rebels survive the attack : Kira , Garak , and Ekoor . With a sneer , Weyoun asks where Damar is , knowing full well that he must already be dead . Garak shoots Weyoun down for gloating over the terrible destruction wreaked on Cardassia . The Founder mourns as Garak had just killed the last Weyoun , which more than pleases Garak . Kira tells the Founder that the Dominion has lost the war , but the Founder refuses to surrender , promising a fight to the bitter end . With the Breen and Jem ' Hadar fighting to the last man , she promises , the Allies will lose so many ships and so many lives that their victory will taste as bitter as defeat . This way , they will never threaten the Gamma Quadrant . Act Seven . On the " Defiant " bridge , Sisko , Odo , and Worf are speaking to Kira . She tells them the founder is deteriorating . Sisko says she has to stay alive in order to order the retreat of the Jem ' Hadar . Odo offers to beam down and speak to the founder . In the Fire Caves , Winn pours a toast , offering it to Dukat . He drinks from the cup ; however , he soon bends over in pain . The ex - Kai says she is offering him as a sacrifice for the Pah - wraiths ; who better than Dukat ? Dukat sprawls and dies . She then proceeds to awaken the Wraiths . At Cardassia Prime , Odo beams down to talk with the captured Founder . He asks her to stand down her forces yet she retorts that she still believes that the Federation Alliance would invade the Gamma Quadrant . While acknowledging the Federation having its own flaws ( such as Section 31 ' s plan for the Founders ' genocide ) , Odo assures her that the Federation wouldn ' t sanction such an invasion , nor would it allow the Klingons or Romulans to do so . He suggests he can cure her and they link , against the better judgment of Garak . After joining briefly for only about ten seconds , the Female Changeling is cured ; she can assume her normal , smooth - featured shape . She had also communicated to Odo , during their link , that she will order the surrender of all Jem ' Hadar and Breen ; moreover , she will stand trial for her actions in the Alpha Quadrant . With the Female Changeling facing years ( possibly a lifetime ) of incarceration , Odo vows to be the one who delivers the cure to the Great Link , and tells Kira that he will be rejoining the Great Link for good . Act Eight . On the battered surface of Cardassia Prime , a new dawn rises over the now - shattered capital city . Martok lustily drinks his bloodwine in victory , but Sisko and Ross , disturbed by the carnage they see , refuse to celebrate . Martok reminds them that many Bajoran s would call this poetic justice , but Sisko is unmoved and tells him he won ' t share a toast over the bodies of innocent victims . He and Admiral Ross pour out their bloodwine and leave , and Martok notes to himself ( in Klingon ) that he ' ll never truly understand Humans . At Dominion headquarters , Garak and Bashir are reviewing the casualty reports from the attempted genocide of the Cardassians : eight hundred million , and still climbing . Bashir searches for words to console his friend , but Garak breezily tells Bashir not to bother ; after all , many would say that Cardassia has gotten exactly what it deserves , and they would be right – not only for Dukat ' s role in bringing the Dominion , and thus the war , to the Alpha Quadrant , but for a whole history of conquest and atrocities on other worlds , of which Bajor is only one . Garak tells Bashir he will be staying on Cardassia and thanks him for his friendship over the years , admitting he ' ll miss their lunchtime chats . Bashir says he hopes they will see each other again . Garak , ever cynical , says he hopes so too , but wouldn ' t count on it . Aboard DS9 , the Female Changeling signs the formal instrument of surrender , officially ending hostilities between the Dominion and Federation Alliance . After the ceremony , Martok and Ross offer Worf the Federation ambassador ship to the Klingon Empire . Worf tells Captain Sisko that his loyalty is to him first and Sisko states that , although he will hate losing Worf on DS9 , it ' s his choice . Worf tells Sisko that it was an honor to serve alongside him ( a compliment Sisko returns ) and accepts the new posting . Martok is very happy at this , grateful to have an ambassador he can go Targ hunting with on Qo ' noS . Kira , who doesn ' t want to lose the love of her life , asks Odo to return after curing the Founders . He explains how painful it will be for him to leave her , but that the only way for the Founders to learn to trust solids will be for him to remain in the Link . So instead , Kira requests she be the one to take him to his homeworld ; he gratefully agrees . The crew mingle in Vic ' s lounge for celebration and farewells . Among the groups , Jake is asking Miles if they already found a place to live to which Miles responds they have some locations in sight . He receives much help from the present staff , with Worf even suggesting Minsk . Quark , who is getting to be a regular at Vic ' s , encourages everyone to stay put , citing his distaste for " change " . Sisko tells Quark to get used to it , as things are going to be very different from now on . As everyone gives the moment pause , Captain Sisko lifts his glass in a toast : " " To the best crew any captain ever had . This may be the last time we ' re all together . But no matter what the future holds , no matter how far we travel , a part of us . . . a very important part , will always remain here , on Deep Space 9 . " " Vic sings " The Way You Look Tonight " to the assembled crew , who came aboard Deep Space 9 distanced , suspicious and sometimes hostile towards each other , yet despite all this grew into close colleagues and friends . On Bajor , Dukat is resurrected by the Pah - wraiths and regains his Cardassian visage , his eyes glowing red with their power . On DS9 , as the couples take to the dance floor , Benjamin suddenly has a strong sensation . As the Emissary , he now understands what his task is . Benjamin excuses himself abruptly from the party and heads to a runabout pad . Dukat taunts Winn , saying she wasn ' t good enough to be the Pah - wraiths ' emissary . He reveals to her that the Pah - wraiths plan to spread across and destroy Bajor , the Celestial Temple , the Alpha Quadrant and even the entire galaxy . He then nonchalantly notes that Sisko has arrived . Sisko raises his phaser rifle at Dukat but the Pah - wraiths ' power is strong , and with a flick of his wrist Dukat causes Sisko to drop the weapon and fall flat to the ground . He recovers and punches Dukat , to no avail . Dukat , controlling Sisko ' s movements , causes him to bow in front of him . Sisko fights against Dukat ' s power , telling him that just like when he allied Cardassia with the Dominion he has joined forces with the losing side while promising to stop both him and the Pah - wraiths from destroying Bajor and the Alpha Quadrant . Winn grabs the " Book of the Kosst Amojan " , intending to cast it into the fire pit , but it suddenly appears in Dukat ' s hands . Dukat summons the fire , which engulfs Winn Adami , vaporizing her , but not before she yells to Sisko to focus on the book . With Dukat concentrating on Winn and her death , he is momentarily distracted from Sisko , who breaks free of Dukat ' s hold and lunges at him , propelling both men ( and the " Kosst Amojan " ) over the cliff , into the fire pit . As they tumble through the flames , Dukat and the book disintegrate , but Sisko suddenly materializes in the Celestial Temple . The prophet disguised as Sisko ' s mother Sarah gives him both good news and bad . The good news is that the Emissary succeeded in his mission by returning the Pah - wraiths to the Fire Caves , and by destroying the book he had trapped both them and Dukat inside a prison that can never be escaped ; the bad news is that he must remain indefinitely in the Celestial Temple as his work there is only just beginning . Act Nine . On DS9 , the others explain to Kasidy that they found Sisko ' s runabout but there was no sign of him . Just then , the Emissary comes to Kasidy in a vision . Relieved to see her beloved husband , she embraces and kisses him one last time . He informs her that he will not be coming back , and Kasidy now realizes the " sorrow " predicted by the prophets . Now speaking in non - linear riddles himself , he solemnly declares his role as Emissary , speaking of destiny , of having a great deal of things to do and learn . However , he promises Kasidy that he will return " in a year , or maybe . . . " yesterday " " . They say their goodbyes , and then suddenly Kasidy is back on DS9 , telling Jake she has spoken to his father . The time has come to finally part ways . As O ' Brien and family leave their quarters for the last time , Miles finds a plastic soldier on the floor , and this allows him to quickly reminisce of his adventures with Bashir . Worf looks back at the changes he experienced : a new post , intrigue , love , and even political upheaval , but is still able to look forward as he joins his friend , brother , comrade , and leader Martok on a ship bound for Qo ' noS and his new mission . Odo gives Kira his old bucket as the two think about how after many years of friendship the two found true love in each other . Quark can ' t help but think back on the wild goings - on at his bar and the myriad adventures that took place in his holosuite s over the years . Jake closes the model of the house on Bajor his father will now never build , as he remembers the fond times the two had together over the years . Odo tries to depart the station quietly in the runabout , without having to say goodbye to anyone . Quark , knowing that Odo would try and avoid any kind of goodbye , confronts him in the corridor asking for some kind of farewell , but Odo refuses . Regardless , Quark raises a toast to him and still believes that Odo " loves " him . O ' Brien and Bashir part company with a big hug and misty eyes , having become the best of friends after serving seven years together . Kira pilots Odo ' s runabout to the Changeling planet . Beaming down to the surface , Kira is shocked at how different the Great Link appears , sickly and green . Odo confirms that they ' re dying ; he needs to join them . Odo has Kira tell everyone back on DS9 that he will miss them , including Quark . They say their tearful farewells . Odo morphs his uniform into his tuxedo ; knowing Kira always liked it on him he wants it to be her last memory of him . He slowly walks into the " ocean " of Changelings , eventually morphing and merging with them . Odo ' s cure spreads throughout his people , saving them all as the Link changes back to its natural golden brown . Epilogue . Colonel Kira , comfortably situated in the commanding office on DS9 , congratulates Lieutenant Nog on his promotion . She picks up Sisko ' s from the desk , throws it up in the air and catches it while overlooking Ops . Bashir suggests to Ezri that they partake in the Battle of Thermopylae in a holosuite , a battle that is similar to the Alamo in that the smaller force – the Spartans – fought valiantly but was defeated . Kira goes to crack the whip on Quark , who had been taking bets on the selection of the next Kai , the Colonel banning all betting pool s under penalty of Quark spending some time in the holding cell s ; the confrontation reminiscent of a similar encounter between the two many years earlier . Leaving Quark ' s , Kira sees a lonely Jake on the upper Promenade staring out the windows at the Denorios Belt . She joins him and they look out the window at the Bajoran wormhole , which is finally open for travel again after two years of war . They look towards the Celestial Temple and the Gamma Quadrant , where Jake ' s father and Kira ' s close friend have both gone , as life goes on at Deep Space 9 . Memorable quotes . " " I thought you said a bartender ' s life was a lonely one . " " " " It is , but I ' m not a bartender . " " " " For each act of sabotage committed against the Dominion , another Cardassian city will be destroyed . I implore you not to let that happen . " " " " Together we will release the Pah - wraiths so they can lay claim to the Celestial Temple and destroy the Prophets . " " " " And their Emissary . " " " " No , no , no . Benjamin Sisko will be dealt with by me and " me " alone . " " " " Assuming he survives the invasion of Cardassia . " " " " Oh , he ' ll survive . But I promise you , he ' ll wish he hadn ' t . " " " " Sir , the Cardassians ! They ' re attacking the other Dominion ships ! " " " " They ' ve switched sides . " " " " Yes ! " " " " Their timing couldn ' t be better . " " " " I never thought I ' d say this , but thank God for the Cardassians . " " " " All during the years of my exile I imagined what it would be like to come home . I even thought of living in this house again with Mila . But now she ' s dead , and this house is about to be reduced to a pile of rubble . My Cardassia ' s gone . " " " " Then fight for a new Cardassia . " " " " I have an even better reason , Commander . Revenge ! " " " " That works too . " " " " I want the Cardassians exterminated . " " " " Which ones ? " " " " All of them . The entire population . " " " " That will take some time . " " " " Then I suggest you begin at once . " " " " I wish you hadn ' t done that . That was Weyoun ' s last clone . " " " " I was hoping you would say that . " " " " You may win this war , commander , but I promise you , when it is over , you will have lost so many ships , so many lives , that your " victory " will taste as bitter as defeat . " " " " 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 ? " " " " Before you waste too many tears , remember , these are Cardassians lying dead at your feet . Bajorans would call this ' poetic justice ' . " " " " That doesn ' t mean I have to drink a toast over their bodies . " " " " Human - PaH . Ka DiJaQ . ( Human creatures . Who would understand them ? ) " " " " Four hundred years ago , a victorious general spoke the following words at the end of another costly war : ' Today the guns are silent . A great tragedy has ended . . . we have known the bitterness of defeat and the exultation of triumph , and from both we have learned there can be no going back . We must move forward to preserve in peace what we ' ve won in war ' . " " " " Did you really think the Pah - Wraiths would choose you as their Emissary ? Soon , the Pah - wraiths will burn across Bajor , the Celestial Temple , the Alpha Quadrant . Can you picture it ? An entire universe set in flames ! ! ! To burn for all eternity . The Prophets have sent me a gift . Their beloved Emissary , set forth like an avenging angel to slay the demon . " " " " You are pathetic ! " " " " Then why are you the one on your knees ? " " " " First the Dominion , now the Pah - Wraiths . You have a talent for picking the losing sides ! " " " " Benjamin , please , we ' ve known each other too long . And since this is the last time we will ever be together , let ' s try to speak honestly . We ' ve both had our victories and our defeats . Now it ' s time to resolve our differences and face the ultimate truth : I ' ve won , Benjamin . You ' ve lost . " " " " The Pah - wraiths will never conquer anything ! Not Bajor , not the Celestial Temple , and certainly not the Alpha Quadrant ! " " " " And who ' s going to stop us ? " " " " I am ! ! " " " " You can ' t even stand up . " " " " Then I ' ll stop you ! " ' " " " Farewell , Adami . " " " " The Emissary has completed his task . " " " " But the Pah - wraiths . . . ? ! " " " " You ' ve returned them to their prison within the Fire Caves . " " " " The book was the key , wasn ' t it ? " " " " To a door that can never be opened again . " " " " And Dukat . . . is he dead ? " " " " He is where he belongs . . . with the Pah - wraiths . " " " " I am their Emissary , and they " still " have a great deal for me to do . " " " " Please , tell everyone I ' ll miss them " . " " " " " Even Quark ? " " " " Even Quark . " " " " Your time of trial has ended . You need to rest now . " " " " I intend to . As soon as I return to Deep Space 9 . " " " " That will not be necessary . You are with " us " now . " " " " The more things change , the more they stay the same . " " Links and references .
