(a beat) The sad truth is, if there's a war, the Federation can't guarantee Bajor's safety. Which means Bajor has to be kept out of the fighting. (a beat) I don't like this any more than you do, major, but it's Bajor's only chance for survival. This is tough for Kira to accept, but finally she nods in agreement. 26 EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL) Re-establishing. There're several Bajoran cargo ships docked at the station. SISKO (V.O.) Captain's log, Supplemental: Bajor has signed the non-aggression pact with the Dominion. All Bajoran personnel have been ordered to evacuate the station. 27 INT. PROMENADE The evacuation is under way. Bajorans, both military and civilian, are streaming into the airlocks. SISKO (V.O.) (continuing) As someone once said, "These are the times that try men's souls."
