"That would mess anyone up." Nick said as he took a swig of his beer and smiled. "Although I have to say, Dukat sort of had it coming." he looked at Sisko and shook his head. "So let me get this straight, a whole Dominion fleet just disappeared in the wormhole. Like just... vanished?" he took another sip of his drink. "Be great if every other Jem'Hadar ship just 'poofed' out of the way. Lost a lot of good men and women to them."

"I don't think it is going to be that easy," Sisko replied worry crossing his face. "The Profits said there would the a penance to be paid."

"What the hell does that mean?" Rebecca demanded setting the margarita down worried.

"I don't know. They are often cryptic."

Rebecca was frowning when a pair of Klingons approached. The one on the left was younger, and wore a Starfleet uniform. Rebecca assumed he was Commander Worf. The other was only slightly portly, and wore an officer's uniform of the Klingon Defense Force. She didn't understand Klingon ranks, but judging by the difference that the other Klingons gave him she assume he was someone of impotance.

Unlike Worf this officer had his black hair down. His left eye was missing and the tissue around it was scarred and twisted.

"Captain," One eye said to Sisko. Worf remained stoically silent.

Sisko grinned, "Gentlemen. This is Captian Nicholas Ryder, and Commander Sandoval. Ms. Sandoval was my chief engineer aboard the Saratoga. Becca, Nick, this is Lt. Commander Worf, and General Martok."

Rebecca stood and shook both their hands, "An honor. Your reputations precede you."

Martok looked her over, "And, you as well Commander. You fought like a Klingon. Impressive how you destroyed four Dominion ships. If Starfleet doesn't give you your own command I will!"

"Thank you General. You honor me."

Martok laughed, and slapped her on the shoulder, "ayou honor yourself!."

"Commander Worf, been a while." Nick said as he gave him a look. "I'm actually shocked Picard didn't call you back to the Enterprise somehow. I could only ever get LaForge for like... a week at a time before somehow he was in 'dire need of my Chief Engineer.'"

"I... have other reasons for remaining here." Worf said in his typical manner and then glanced at the tall brunette Trill by the bar.

"Say no more." Nick replied with a wink. "Speaking of COs... y'know Becca with as many ships as we lost in this operation, that means the shipyards will be working double time to replace them. Be rather... interesting to see what you'd get."

"The Denver was fractured in, and is docked at upper pylon 3," Sisko said. "Chief O'Brien said you are looking at four weeks of repairs. Someone ejected the antimatter storage pods," Sisko teased.

"I did what I had to do," Rebecca said a little too defensively.

"Worf there you are!" The brunette Trill said as she approached them. She hugged him and they kissed.

"My par'Machkai, Jadzia Dax."

"Dax?" Rebecca asked. She glanced between Sisko and Dax.

"Yeah, the same," Jadzia replied.

"Curzon was always hitting on me," Rebecca replied to Nick. "And I always turned him down."

"Good thing you did, you'd have a wife now and you'd have to fight off Worf." Nick teased. "i really hope you aren't calling her 'Old Man' because that would be weird."

Worf scowled, and Jadzia laughed. Rebecca shook her head, "Curzon was a pervert."

"That you were Old Man," Sisko teased.

Dax smiled and patted Worf on the chest, and the duo excused themselves. Martok sighed and only gave them a sidelong glance as they departed. "That man is like a brother to me, but if I had to hear him go on about the wedding I was going to throw him out the nearest air lock."

Sisko laughed unsympathetically.

Martok handed Sisko a Federation PADD, "The Rotarran will be out for repairs for two weeks."

Sisko glanced at the PADD and sighed in irritation, "General, we needed you to patrol the border. I guess I will have Worf to take the Defiant."

"If you need help," Rebecca started. "I will do what I can. There are a dozen idle engineers from the Denver, including myself. I'm sure the Chief would be happy for the help."

Sisko nodded, "He would. And you Mr. Ryder? Until your ride gets here?"

"Well if the General can work with one eye, I think I can manage." Nick said as he took a sip of his beer. "Rotarran... B'Rel class right? Not our usual repair project, but give Becca and I a small team... we can get her ready. Give me an excuse not to touch the Denver. That's just a floating headache."

"Starfleet Corps of Engineers are enrout to refit the Denver," Sisko replied.

The waiter brought them their food and set the plates down in front of them. He asked if Martok wanted anything to which the Klingon officer waved the waiter away.

"I have a few ideas for the refit," Rebecca said after taking a bite of the steak.

"I thought you might," Sisko replied. "I've already warned them. By the way the Chief has restored emergency power to the Denver. There is limited auxiliary power being fed to it through the station so you and your crew can stay on the ship."

"Well, that certainly is welcomed news," Rebecca stated as she sawed through the steak. "The thought of emergency shelters for the next few weeks isn't all that appealing."

"Yeah and I am not a fan of Cardassian beds." Nick replied and took a bite of his steak. "General, if you don't mind some Starfleet parts, I think we can get your ship ready in a third of the time, so you can patrol and the Defiant can stay in the Bajor system. Oh and Ben... forward me your improvements to the SI fields on the Defiant, when I get back to Mars, I'm pushing for more Defiants. Valiant would have been a front line ship if they didn't give to those Red Squad kids. Pfft… a Defiant class, kids these days... when we went through the Academy, we had ships older than our grandparents and just as sturdy."

"I saw a lot of potential in the 'Republic'. There's no reason those old Constitutions can't be used today."

"I've got a design on the drawing board that basically uses a similar frame and hull design, but completely up to date." Nick said as he washed his steak down with a swig of beer. "Probably will never see space until after the war, provided this war actually ends, but... y'know after today... that may be possible."

Rebecca picked at the last of her potato, and pushed the plate aside. "We'll see Nicholas."

Sisko smiled, and stood. Squeezing her shoulder Ben spoke, "It's good to see you two again. I am looking forward in seeing you around the station."

"Goodnight Ben. See you around."

"I must be going too," Martok announced. "It was an honor to meet you all." Nodding to Sisko, then to Nick, "Captain, Commander."

She picked at the remains of her margarita, and finally setting it aside she smiled at Nick, "Thank you for being here. I probably wouldn't be here right now if not for you."

"Hey, like I always told you, I'm a comm call away." Nick said as he finished his beer and flexed his hand. "And hey never suggest a political career... that's not even close to what I have in mind for my retirement years." he sighed and patted his stomach. "I needed this... so, before we fix Martok's ship, help me fix my hand and I'll set you up with a brace so you don't mess yourself up more." he glanced at the Dabo girls. "Reminds me of that liberty we had in Vegas.

"At least this time we're not trying to figure out what happened." She pulled a Bobby pin from the tangled mess on top of her head, and twisted it open.

Grabbing Nick's wrist she examined it, and with the pin she pressed several servos in order to bypass the damaged systems. "Cybernetics is not my specialty. You boys are all the same. Doing stupid shit, leaving us girls to patch you all up. I hope I don't have a son. There. I don't have access to all the parts or tools I need, but this should get you by."

"Thanks, needed two hands to do it." Nick chuckled and put his arm around her shoulders. "I dunno... I think you'd be pretty good with a boy. Course you'd actually have to date someone. But who am I to talk about 'wedded bliss'? Course, when it's good it's great, when it's bad... I fight in wars and deliver starships. This whole war has put a strain on a lot of people, I still say it's only a matter of time before they try to hit Earth and then Command will freak out and everyone will panic. As if all the other worlds that have been hit aren't as important."
