I'm going to get your mom.

You're going to be okay.

Jennifer!

Okay, Jake.

We'll get your mom out, and we'll get out of here.

Commander!

Help me!

Jennifer... hold on.

Sir...

Just help me to get her free!

She's gone.

There's nothing we can do.

We have to leave!

Warning. Damage to warp core.

Containment failure in two minutes.

Ensign, take the boy.

Aye, sir.

We've got to go now, sir.

Damn it!

We just can't leave her here!

Oh! Oh, no!

Jake, Jake, you're okay.

Stand by to launch.

Ready.

Jake.

There you are.

How are they biting?

Small-fries. Threw them back.

Want to go for a swim?

Don't have time. We have to get ready.

It won't be so bad.

I've heard that Bajor is a beautiful world.

So why can't we live on the planet

instead of some old space station?

The station is in orbit of Bajor.

It will be just like shore duty.

Will there be kids there?

Absolutely!

Lots of kids.

Bridge to Sisko.

Yes, Captain?

We're approaching Deep Space 9, Commander.

We'll be docking in seven minutes.

Acknowledged.

Come on.

What do you say?

We'll take the pond with us.

Computer, end program.

Is that it?

Commence Station Log, Deep Space 9.

Commander Benjamin Sisko, Stardate 46388.2.

At the request of the Bajoran provisional government.

Starfleet has agreed to establish

a Federation presence in this system

following the withdrawal

of the Cardassian occupational forces.

The first contingent of officers

including my Chief of Operations, Miles O'Brien

arrived two days ago on the Enterprise.

I'm told the Cardassians decided to have some fun

the day they left.

Four Bajorans were killed

trying to protect their shops.

Why hasn't anybody cleaned this up?

We've got all available personnel

assigned to repairing primary systems, sir.

The Cardassians took every component of value.

We're virtually defenseless.

I discussed this with Major Kira

the attaché assigned here by the Bajoran government and...

Understood.

What about the civilians who operated these shops?

A lot of them lost everything they had.

A few are trying to rebuild

but most are packing up to leave.

Welcome, Commander.

Please enter.

The Prophets await you.

Another time, perhaps.

Another time.

When my wife Keiko saw our quarters

she started talking about visiting her mother

in Kumomoto.

Sir, I wouldn't allow the boy to go roaming.

We're still having some security problems.

Dad, there is nothing to sleep on in there

except for a cushion on the floor.

Well, we can get you a real bunk

off the Enterprise.

I almost forgot.

Captain Picard wants to see you

as soon as possible.

He does?

Any word on our science and medical officers yet?

They're expected tomorrow.

Jake, I want you to stay here

till I come back.

Is this the food replicator?

I'm afraid they're all off-line.

There's plenty of emergency rations.

I could send some down.

Dad...

We're going to have to rough it

until we get things up and running, Jake, okay?

: Okay.

"Okay."

I'd like to ask the designer

what he was thinking about when they built this place.

I still haven't been able to find an ODN access.

That's the Prefect's office up there.

So all others have to look up with respect.

Cardassian architecture.

Yes, sir.

Major Kira's been using it.

Is it my imagination or is it unusually warm?

The environmental controls in Ops are stuck at 32 C.

We're working on it.

I guess it's time to meet Major Kira.

Sir, have you ever served with any Bajoran women?

No. Why?

I was just wondering, sir.

They've become meaningless.

MAN ( on view screen ): I just don't agree, Kira.

You are throwing it all away.

All of you!

You're being a fool!

Well, then don't ask my opinion next time.

Yes?

I'm Benjamin Sisko.

I suppose you want the office.

Well, I thought I'd say hello first

and then take the office

but we could do it in any order you'd like.

Hello.

Is something bothering you, Major?

You don't want to ask me that, Commander.

Why not?

Because I have the bad habit of telling the truth

even when people don't want to hear it.

Perhaps I want

to hear it.

I don't believe the Federation has any business being here.

The provisional government disagrees with you.

The provisional government and I don't agree on a lot of things

which is probably why they sent me

to this godforsaken place.

I have been fighting for Bajoran independence

since I was old enough to pick up a phaser.

We finally drive the Cardassians out

and what do our new leaders do?

They call up the Federation and invite them right in!

The Federation is only here to help...

Help us. Yes, I know.

The Cardassians said the same thing 60 years ago.

Major, when I was ordered here

I requested a Bajoran national as my First Officer.

It made sense.

It still does, at least to me.

Now, you and I are going to have

to find some way to...

Yes, Major?

Odo, are you reading something at A-14?

My security array has been down for two hours.

I'll meet you there.

We've been having a lot of break-ins lately.
