Sisko, Kira, and Odo are gathered at dock bay #34 where the remains of the security guard Trenton were found. "I told you Commander that we should have contacted Starfleet for more security." "Major I told you that we can handle this." "Commander need I remind you how suspicious this looks? A murder happened almost exactly the same time that Bajors First Minister Aar arrived on the station." "Major no you do not but could you, please check on the minister and ease any security concerns she might have." "I can ease hers sir, but who will ease my concerns." Kira says before walking away. "Constable what do you think?" "Commander the disruptor must have caught him off guard. He was one of my best, whoever did this had to be good." "You mean our assassin? " "Could be commander. " says Odo turning his head back to the task of finding clues. Meanwhile at Quarks business is back to normal today that relieve Quark. He was worried that the fight from yesterday would hurt business. His bar was full and he smiled watching his brother Rom run from table to table taking orders and collecting money. Quark wishes the Bajorans would celebrate a holiday more often because it was good for business. Quark knew from his late night communication that he had a chance to earn extra good plate latinum. Rules of acquisition #181, double your profits whenever possible, just thinking about it made him smile. Major Kira approach the quarters of First Minister, they were two Bajoran security guards outside with one of Odo's guards. She thanks the Prophets silently for at least some reaction from Sisko. The guards allow her access and the First Minister greets her. "Major Kira Nerys you do your people proud and we are grateful to the Prophets for you." Kira was taken back by this greeting "No First Minister I have done nothing, but it is you that all of Bajo is grateful for." "Major you are serving on this space station and your very presence here in a leadership position is important as you are the bridge between the Federation and Bajor." "I know it looks that way but First Minister I do not see any difference than when the Cardassians ran the station." "Major you must let go of the harsh past and embrace the future for this is the will of the Prophets. When Cardassians operated this station they would never have allowed a Bajoran officer to serve, especially not in a leadership capacity. Even you must admit this." "Yes I guess." Reluctantly Kira response. "Now I must ask Major Kira what can the Bajoran people do for you?" "No no I just wanted to check on you first minister. " "I was made aware about the assassination threat before we arrived on the station, and now I hear that there has been murder. Does the Emissary think that they both are connected? " "He does not know for sure, our investigation is on-going, but he does feel that you would proceed with the ceremony tomorrow on the promenade." "Thank the Prophets! All of Bajor will be blessed from this celebration and most of our Provisional Government will be here as well to look over the festivities. Another sign that the Cardassians no longer runs this station." Kira walks out feeling guilty for lying, but she thinks that if Sisko won't do anything about this, then she will contact her old militia members on board the station. Jadzia had been looking over the station logs for a disturbance that seems to be going off and on across the station. According to the logs, it first appeared last night around the time of the murder. Dax had been at this for several hours with nothing to show for it so far, but the Curzon part of her was sure that there was something on these logs. Another hour goes by and she continues to search. At Quarks, the music and drinking is still going on. Quark's new Dabo Girls were a big hit, and he smiles as he sees all the activities knowing that it meant higher profits for him. He thinks to the Rule of Acquistion #157 the combo profit rule, always double your profits whenever possible from a single activity. At one of his back tables he sees a set of eyes watching him that he never notice before. Quarks pull his brother Rom by the arm as he walked by in front of him. "Who is that back there?" "I don't know brother, I never saw him come in." Quark lets go of his brother's arm but keeps his eyes on the mysterious figure sitting in the back of his bar.
