00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.750
(brooding music)

2
00:00:04.540 --> 00:00:05.840
<v Sisko>What's the word?</v>

3
00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:11.220
<v Worf>She is still in surgery</v>

4
00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:13.250
but Dr. Bashir is hopeful she will make

5
00:00:13.250 --> 00:00:14.263
a full recovery.

6
00:00:15.710 --> 00:00:16.720
<v Sisko>Lasaran's dead.</v>

7
00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:19.490
Starfleet Intelligence intercepted a transmission saying

8
00:00:19.490 --> 00:00:21.820
that he'd been killed, trying to reenter the base

9
00:00:21.820 --> 00:00:25.450
at Soukara. Could you have made the rendezvous?

10
00:00:25.450 --> 00:00:26.890
<v Worf>Yes.</v>

11
00:00:26.890 --> 00:00:28.810
<v Sisko>But yet, you turn back to save Jadzia.</v>

12
00:00:28.810 --> 00:00:30.140
<v Worf>Yes.</v>

13
00:00:30.140 --> 00:00:31.720
<v Sisko>Were you aware that the information that man</v>

14
00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:34.223
had could have saved millions of lives?

15
00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:36.750
<v Worf>Yes.</v>

16
00:00:36.750 --> 00:00:38.100
<v Sisko>So what happened?</v>

17
00:00:39.530 --> 00:00:41.190
<v Worf>You may not understand.</v>

18
00:00:41.190 --> 00:00:42.290
<v Sisko>Try me, sir.</v>

19
00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:47.600
<v Worf>You were at my wedding, you heard the story</v>

20
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:49.000
of the first two Klingon hearts

21
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:50.910
and how nothing could stand against them,

22
00:00:50.910 --> 00:00:53.833
and how they even destroyed the Gods that had created them.

23
00:00:55.010 --> 00:00:56.960
I've heard this story since I was a boy

24
00:00:58.080 --> 00:01:00.070
but I never understood it.

25
00:01:00.070 --> 00:01:03.700
I mean, really understood it. Until I was standing

26
00:01:03.700 --> 00:01:06.580
in the jungle with my heart pounding in my chest,

27
00:01:06.580 --> 00:01:07.530
and I found that even

28
00:01:07.530 --> 00:01:09.693
I could not stand against my own heart.

29
00:01:10.870 --> 00:01:12.083
I had to go back,

30
00:01:13.370 --> 00:01:15.140
and it did not matter what Starfleet thought

31
00:01:15.140 --> 00:01:16.430
or what the consequences were.

32
00:01:16.430 --> 00:01:19.313
She was my wife and I could not leave her.

33
00:01:20.810 --> 00:01:23.790
<v Sisko>As your captain, It is my duty to inform you</v>

34
00:01:23.790 --> 00:01:25.823
that you made the wrong choice.

35
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.193
I don't think Starfleet will file any formal charges.

36
00:01:31.210 --> 00:01:33.290
Even a secret court martial would run the risk

37
00:01:33.290 --> 00:01:36.190
of revealing too much about their intelligence operations.

38
00:01:37.800 --> 00:01:40.073
But this will go into your service record.

39
00:01:42.150 --> 00:01:46.080
And to be completely honest, you probably won't

40
00:01:46.080 --> 00:01:48.963
be offered a command on your own after this.

41
00:01:50.980 --> 00:01:52.300
<v Worf>I understand.</v>

42
00:01:52.300 --> 00:01:54.560
<v Sisko>I have also issued new orders.</v>

43
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:56.330
You and Jadzia are not to be assigned

44
00:01:56.330 --> 00:01:58.583
to a mission on your own ever again.

45
00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:05.213
One last thing.

46
00:02:07.220 --> 00:02:08.883
As a man, who had a wife.

47
00:02:11.320 --> 00:02:13.543
If Jennifer had been lying in that clearing,

48
00:02:15.540 --> 00:02:17.140
I wouldn't have left her either.

49
00:02:19.381 --> 00:02:22.548
(soft dramatic music)
