KEIKO: Since the end of the Dominion War the Federation has been working with the Cardassian Detapa Council on rebuilding their world after it was bombarded by the Jem'Hadar/Breen forces.
CAPT. MARTIN: I've read your report on the situation so far the Cardassian government is iffy about us helping them, but so far Ambassador Garak has been asking them to allow us to help them.
KEIKO: So we'll approach Cardassia and we'll encounter two Cardassian cruisers they'll provide escort to Cardassia.
LT. MASON: I'm not sure if I feel comfortable with two Cardassian cruisers being our escort after what happened with Gagarin.
CMDR. Y'NAR: I agree what if they start shooting at us?

Close on the replicator. An allegro chamber music piece in the background...
CAPT. MARTIN [O.S.]: Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
The tea appears as we pull back to reveal Martin studying a PADD... he reaches out for the tea without his eyes ever leaving his reading...walks across the room and sits at a dining table that has stacks of various work materials... more PADDS, charts and graphs and maps... a half-eaten salad sits in front of him... and in a move that would challenge the world's greatest juggler, he pokes a fork of salad into his mouth with one hand as he sips his tea with the other, finding a spot to prop the PADD so he can still read... and now, his mind, asking a 
silent question, reaching over to grab a chart, and as he pulls it over, he also spills the salad plate splashing gorgonzolla dressing over his jacket... sighs... a chime at the door...
CAPT. MARTIN: Who is it?
CMDR. Y'NAR [com voice]: Y'Nar.
Captain Martin looks at himself, shrugs, what the hell...
CAPT. MARTIN: Come.
Doors opened and Commander Y'Nar enters holding a PADD, eyes drawn to Martin's stained
jacket...
CAPT. MARTIN: I'm the casualty of a working lunch.
Captain Martin takes off his jacket...and as the scene continues, he changes.
CAPT. MARTIN [O.S.]: I've been through every report and information on the recent Cardassian recovery since the war but I am not sure if I can trust Gul Lemec.
Y'Nar looks at the PADD, brushes it off...
CMDR. Y'NAR: ... and gorgonzolla cheese.
John has a new vest on and walks up to her.
CAPT. MARTIN: What's up?
CMDR. Y'NAR [hands him a PADD]: The latest report from Keiko on the surface.
