What is your weapon of choice?
I wish I could hold my head up and say words -- diplomacy, like Opaka and Bareil and Shakaar -- but it wouldn't be honest. Nor could I say a phaser, though that's probably the weapon I've used most often recently. I understood what power is on the day the Emissary persuaded the Prophets to destroy the Dominion fleet in the wormhole, saving Bajor and the Alpha Quadrant from a terrible fate but the price of more lives than I care to think about. I don't have clear memories of my body hosting a Prophet, but I remember the power there, too. I suppose that my weapon of choice is faith, which means, in some way, that I am like Kai Winn, and that scares me a little.
