Guinan kept her distance as Sisko and Odo went up to the Promenade's mezzanine - probably the only way to be sure the Nietzscheans couldn't hear them.
"Well, Captain?" Odo asked.
"I have a very favorable impression of Captain Hunt," Sisko said.
"We all know what that can be worth," Odo snorted.
"True," Sisko said. "But I think he is an honest broker. I think I can count on his cooperation in this matter."
Odo nodded. "And Tyr and Freya?"
"A dfferent story altogether, Constable."
"You don't trust them, Captain."
"I've read both Nietzsche and Ayn Rand, Constable, so I have good reason."
"They were both lying. Tyr's story had a lot of holes in it."
"Yes, but he seemed genuinely puzzled by the situation. It's not in his best interest to turn on us at the moment. I may not trust him, but he's not the one I'm worried about."
"Freya."
"Yes."
Odo nodded. "She's definitely knows more than she's saying about this mess."
"And that may be a problem. All we can do is wait and see how this plays out. For now, keep an eye on them, Constable."
"You know my motto, Captain: Keep your friends close; keep your enemies under constant surveillance."
