But she was always so afraid -- afraid she'd be caught and executed. But she never stopped. I told her once, I thought she was braver than all of us, because she had to live with her fear every day. Even after the Occupation was over, she didn't want anyone to know that she was secretly helping us. She was worried -- that someone would come looking for her for revenge."

• (Unnamed) "I was thirteen when I joined the Resistance. Been hanging around the Shakaar base camp for a couple of weeks, you know, running errands, cleaning weapons, that kind of thing. And one night, they had an ambush planned and they were a man short, so I volunteered. But everyone thought I was too young, too small. Lupaza -- stuck up for me. She said I had the heart of a sinoraptor. And they didn't have much choice. Furel made some kind of joke, I don't remember what it was, but I do remember that Lupaza hit him. She was always doing that. They loved each other in some way. But it was -- up to Shakaar and -- he stared at me for a long time before he decided I was big enough to carry a phaser rifle after all. So we set the ambush up along the ridgeline, that night, and waited. I was so cold, my hands were shaking. I was so afraid that one of them would look at me and think that I was nervous, that I kept biting my fingers to keep the blood flowing. We must have waited there three or four hours before the skimmer appeared, set down right where Furel said it would. And when that hatch opened and the first Cardassian appeared, I just started firing. And I didn't stop, until I'd discharged the entire power cell. When it was all over, I -- I was so relieved that I hadn't let anyone down, my head was giddy. Furel told me to stop grinning, that it made me look younger, but I couldn't help it. I was one of them. I was in the Resistance."

• (Unnamed) "I made it a policy never to argue with someone's lobes."

• (Unnamed) "We both agree this baby's an innocent. Don't put him at risk, please, Silaran."
• (Unnamed) "Don't worry. I promise that I'll take care of the child. And that I'll teach him the difference between darkness and light."
