Sisko didn’t have the privilege of being a peace time captain. He had to be at the center of a war between galaxies with everything at stake. He didn’t have a choice how agents he may have protected acted. he didn’t command, direct, or approve of their methods. He only benifited, and protected, with disgust and grief for the values he once held dear. But all he had then was the list of all those lost, and the precise knowledge that losing the war, ment total destruction to everything and everyone he cared about. It would be future generations that would judge him, no one who marched through the mud along side him would.
He didn’t command, direct, or approve of any of their methods. He only benefited, and protected, with disgust and grief for the values he once held dear.
So… I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all… I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing, a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant. So I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it… Computer, erase that entire personal log.
Well put. There were still those that judged his choices/actions, but then, those detractors likely would have made radically different and likely detrimental decisions in the name of peace.
Beamed directly out of the butt and into a small shuttle that follows behind a starfleet ship.
Once the shuttle fills up to the point that it’s almost bulging with pressure from all the feces, they park it on some forgotten moon and wait for alien explorers to discover it and open it up to see what’s inside.
This is why voyager had so many shuttles. Once they started beaming the poop into space instead of shuttles they could use their entire stock of poop shuttles as normal shuttles. Bit of an extravagance for the delta quadrant, really

He literally used quark’s nephew as extortion leverage in the first episode.
To be fair, that’s probably expected in Ferengi custom

That’s fine. I am reminded of an old Vulcan expression: Only Nixon can go to China

More rude not to, honestly.
Yeah that’s just good business.
Quadrants of the same galaxy.
Just saying.
Yeah I wasn’t sure if that the best terminology.
Intragalactic war?

Truly disgusted and grief stricken.
Well, he does imply he has a guilty conscience; he’s just also saying he can live with it.

“It’s easy to be a saint in paradise.”
You had me until this line.
Ain’t no mud in space. Ain’t no mud ever on starfleet uniforms.
I bet if anyone even wanted to SEE mud in the Star Trek universe they would need a team of engineers to craft some in a replicator.
Laforge and that romulan were covered in mud after they got trapped on that planet
Where does the poop go

What about Henry Mudd?
