What is your worst character flaw?I think it's not knowing when I'm coming on too strong. I've been accused of biting people's heads off for no reason, and although I would argue that there was certainly a reason, I guess the biting hasn't always been necessary. Benjamin liked to remind me that my first words to him were a complaint that he'd ( Read more... )

How are you, Nerys? I am so happy to see you. I feel your frustration at times, when you behave in a forceful manner, but I also believe that for your job it is right to be forceful. I have learned from you, and admire your ability to rise above distress to choose the right path.

Deanna! It's wonderful to see you. I didn't realize that you visited this...realm. I can tell you that I've wondered at times how emotionally healthy it is to be communicating directly with people I know to be dead; doesn't it carry the same risks as holo-addiction? It's also very confusing not knowing how much I can reveal or say to people. Are you and Will together in your current reality? If so, please give him my best. I'm not certain whether he will be happy to hear this, but I've been involved in an effort to try to rescue Tom Riker from the Cardassian prison camp where he was reportedly being held at the end of the Dominion War.

No, sadly, my imzadi, Will, did not come with me. I am not at all sure how I got here myself, but now I am here I am taking the time to study the people of a most fascinating era.

I miss home, of course, but there is so much to see and do here, although I take your point about what one can say to people. We must not violate the prime directive.

I hope that you can bring Tom home. He is was dear to my heart for so many reasons.

Do you think that we will ever be able to return home, or are we prisoners of time, doomed to remain here in the past?

Let me ask you a question...I hesitate to ask Ezri, even though I'm sure Benjamin Sisko would tell me that I can tell Dax anything. I could tell Jadzia anything, but Ezri seems so much younger than me -- I knew her before she was certain that she wanted to be a joined Trill, let alone the counselor of Deep Space Nine -- and now that she's under my command, I hesitate to talk about this with anyone from the station ( ... )

He smirks upon hearing the first half of her response.

Thats why you are in the military Colonel because they need people like you, who won't take flak from anyone and is willing to accept responsibility in a moments notice.

Although personally I think it's too bad you aren't in politics you would make a great leader.

His expression goes serious to the second half of her response as he goes silent remembering that fateful day as well. He was torn in that moment part of him wanted to weep and part of him wanted to hide as he always had done before in the bottle. But another part (thankfully) took her words to heart and decided that if he survived this war, that if it ended in their victory, he would do everything in his power to ensure that the meaning behind her words would never become a reality again. To know that all of this isn't for nothing, that they did learn their lesson and that the lives lost had meaning. That it wasn't all for the sake of Cardassian pride and military might ( ... )

I knew you'd smirk. I hope that the Bajoran militia of today has little in common with the military you knew; it's why it concerns me. Some days I think I should go into politics and straighten everybody out, but obviously that isn't exactly the right attitude...

Sighs, smirking herself, then frowns.

I truly didn't mean to hurt you, personally, with my words that day. I felt that you deserved more respect and sympathy from me personally. But the question you asked -- what kind of people would do such a thing -- was not one that I could let pass at that moment, or perhaps any moment. It's one I had lived with for too long.

His smirk turns to a grin.

I never thought I'd hear myself say this but I'm thankful your people sense of military is nothing like the Cardassian's version. You're people would make for very frightening foes.

At her remarks of politics he laughs.

Well it's certainly more 'noble' then most who go into politics. Besides if I can wing it I think anyone can and that's not saying much!

Her final remarks catch Damar off guard as he finds himself surprised and more then a little touched by her thoughts of him deserving more respect and possibly sympathy. These are two things he honestly never believed he was worthy of, certainly not from her of all people. Finally after some time of silence he replies.Personally when I look back on that moment, especially in light of my history, I think you were far more sympathetic then you may think. You gave me a moment of truth and I think it is that simple remark and the weight behind it that has gotten me to this point. Even though i may have overcome my attitudes towards your people and your ( ... )
