Hippocrates Noah Dr . Hippocrates Noah was a holosuite character created for Julian Bashir ' s " Secret Agent " holographic program revolving around the espionage of Earth ' s nation - state s during the Cold War of the 20th century . His henchmen included Falcon and Duchamps . In 2372 , Bashir was running the holo - program when the was destroyed by a warp core breach during its return to Deep Space 9 . The explosion of the runabout caused a massive power feedback in the station ' s power grid through the transporter s , shutting down all but emergency power and forcing station personnel to store the transporter patterns of the runabout crew in the memory banks of the holosuite as an emergency measure . The result was that characters in the holographic program took on the physical characteristics of the crew of the runabout , including Benjamin Sisko , whose image replaced that of Noah . In the context of the program , Noah was an " evil genius " who believed the decadence of the world had led to such a chaotic situation that a new beginning was necessary . He intended to kill all of Earth ' s population , save for those at his mountain retreat on the slope of Mount Everest ( the highest point on the planet ) , where he had gathered the most brilliant scientist s and artist s from around the world . Strategically positioning powerful laser s at various locations , Noah planned to use them on the surface , producing massive fissures in the Earth ' s crust that would release millions of tons of molten lava . The end result would be a significant reduction in the surface area of the planet – " like letting air out of a balloon , " as he described it – causing massive flooding . Noah ' s plan was foiled by Bashir with help from Jadzia Dax , who had taken the form of the character Honey Bare , and Elim Garak . Bashir ' s companion Anastasia Komananov ( replaced by the image of Kira Nerys ) wanted to kill Noah , but Bashir stopped her , fearing the holosuite would erase Sisko ' s image . This was nearly Bashir ' s undoing , as Mr . Duchamps showed up during Bashir ' s argument with Komananov and took them by surprise . Noah was about to kill Bashir when the doctor , inspired by an earlier speech Garak made to him , claimed he had realized Noah ' s way was the right one . He activated the lasers , flooding the Earth and resulting in an unexpected " victory " for Noah . Noah was nonetheless ready to kill Bashir , but in the meantime , Rom and Michael Eddington had devised a method to retrieve the senior crew members ' patterns through the ' s transporter , and they beamed Sisko and the others out of the holosuite . ( ) Memorable quotes . " " I believe in an orderly world , a far cry from the chaos we find ourselves in today . We are building a new future here , a new beginning for mankind . A new chapter in Human history will open . . . right here , on my island . " " " " Island ? " " " " Forgive me . Sometimes I do get ahead of myself . Allow me to explain . " " " " It ' s working just as you planned ! You ' ve done it , doctor . " " " " Yes . But somehow , I didn ' t expect to win . " " Background information . Hippocrates Noah was played by Avery Brooks , who also appeared in his normal role as Captain Sisko . The name " Hippocrates Noah " has several meanings . Hippocrates was a physician and philosopher in ancient Greece who is regarded as the father of modern medicine and is responsible for the Hippocratic Oath , while was a biblical figure who survived a worldwide flood lasting forty days and forty nights . According to the Bible , God , like this Noah , believed the world had become so sinful as to necessitate a new beginning , so he flooded the planet , killing everyone except Noah and his family . The name " Noah " was also originally considered as the first name for Sisko ' s son , Jake . The character ' s name also evokes Dr . , the villain and namesake of the first film . This connection is especially strong in the first two acts of " Our Man Bashir " , wherein the character is exclusively referred to as " Dr . Noah " . It continues once Noah is seen for the first time , because of the wardrobe similarity between Noah and the theatrical version of No . Likewise , the " Noah ' s lair " set owes a debt to Ken Adam ' s design for Dr . No ' s base . A further Bond connection is that Dr . Noah was also the name of the main villain , played by Woody Allen , in the James Bond spoof . Noah ' s plot to destroy the world had commonality with many Bond films , but perhaps most strongly ( in which the villain plans to poison the population of Earth and create a master race in outer space ) and ( in which the villain – a reclusive shipping magnate – plans to cause a nuclear holocaust and start anew beneath the ocean ) . Like the plots of those and most other Bond films , Noah ' s plan is highly implausible .
