On DS-9 the days went by without a hitch, but Chief O' Brien informed Sisko of the arrival of a Federation fleet.
“Sir, a Federation fleet is approaching about 2,000 ships.”
“Open communications," said Sisko, who was surprised at the deployment of so many ships.
“Hello Sisko, long time no see you.”
“Captain Le Blanc, to which I owe the honor.”
“Admiral, I am now Admiral, it would be convenient for you to square yourself properly Sisko.”
“Congratulations Admiral," said Sisko frowned, "you could tell me the reason for your presence.”
“Vasquez was forced to retire, the Federation President concluded that he needed another admiral, a more reliable one.”
“Pardon?”
“Sisko, you bit more than you could swallow. Did you think the betrayal of Vasquez and yours would go unpunished?”
“But what are you talking about, Admiral? Neither Admiral Vasquez nor myself would ever attempt to conspire against the Federation.”
“I believe you Sisko, I believe you, and if you behave well I will consider, perhaps not asking the President to consider transferring you to another station, maybe even if I feel magnanimous I advocate for you not to follow the same path that Vasquez did.”
Communication was severed and Sisko clenched his fists against his sides.
“Sisko?” Dax said
“Fucking dog.”
“Sir?” Kira said
“The dog, was what we used to call Le Blanc at the academy, because he was always ready to lick other's butts for profit," said Sisko in a bitter tone, as the Federation's fleet staked out alongside DS-9.

In Bayor, Ishtar didn't suspect what was happening at the space station.
“Then, please visit Betazed whenever you want, Lady Ishtar," Diana Troi, the Enterprise's advisor, told him with a smile.
“I would love to, and please call me Ishtar," said the emulator. Both women met during a gala dinner Bayor had offered to the Marduk and engaged in a friendly conversation.
Ishtar learned that the inhabitants of the planet Betazed were dissatisfied with the Federation's actions. In the war against the Dominion, they did not defend the planet as it was supposed to and this was conquered in a matter of hours, the Dominion demanded many compensations in latinium to cover the costs of the war as well as the looting of various things of the planet, even after the end of the war recently Betazed recovered its independence because the Dominion, already a force decimated and defeated, decided to withdraw, but the Romul Empire occupied the planet
The humiliation and helplessness of Counsellor Troi's planet was overwhelming. Fortunately, Romulus left Betazed after an astronomical bribe.
“I would have to speak with the Supreme Lord Feff and the other lords about your government's invitation Diana.”
“I understand, I know that the Federation can find you a habitable planet, but I would prefer that you stay in Betazed, the planet is huge and not very populated and my people would gladly receive you.”
“I am sure of that, since from the dimension we came, zentrans and meltrans lived in peace with humans, I do not see why we Marduk could not do the same with betazeds.”

At the DS-9 space station, Sisko and his men had to swallow the high-handed deal of Le Blanc and his men, when suddenly Chief O' Brien informed Sisko of the arrival of a Romulan fleet.
“Sir, there are about four thousand ships approaching in battle formation.”
“That's more than a third of the Romulan army," Sisko said.
“What the hell is going on, Sisko!” cried Le Blanc. Sisko informed him of the situation.
“Damn Romulins, they have spies everywhere," said Le Blanc. “Sisko, I want your station ready to repel the attack, me and my ships will go out to face the Romulinos.... No, I don't need any support from the ships Vasquez sent me.” said the Admiral, seeing that Sisko was about to suggest that the five ships of the former Admiral accompany him.
“As you say, sir, the five ships will be left guarding DS-9.”
When the Romulan fleet arrived, they didn't even bother to communicate with Sisko or Le Blanc, they attacked and took them by surprise. Sisko hated Le Blanc, but he had to admit that he had climbed stairs not only because of his flattery, he was also a capable commander, at least when his own neck was at stake.
The battle was fierce but in the end even though they were outnumbered in number Le Blanc won the battle, although he lost 1,900 of his ships. The Romulines, on the other hand, were not so fortunate, of four thousand ships, 3991 had been destroyed and the rest were floating adrift.
“Sisko... communicate to the Federation what happened, we must attack the Romulin Empire now that they have lost a third...” The communication was cut off when Le Blanc's ship exploded due to the surprise attack of a new Romulin fleet.
“Admiral Le Blanc, Admiral Le Blanc. Chief O' Brien” Sisko stared at O' Brien
“Communication's down, sir. I'm picking up new ships approaching. They're Romulan ships, sir! Another six thousand.”
“Six thousand ships," Worf exclaimed, "impossible, perhaps they left Romulus unprotected.”
“Surely they were gathering all these ships for an eventual war against the Federation, the losses against the Dominion were really nothing for them.”
“Sir, another fleet of ships is approaching three thousand... It's the Klingons.”
“Open communications," said Sisko.
“Greetings Commander Sisko, I am General Qwort, supreme leader of this fleet.”
Sisko had a cold sweat run down his back, he knew that Qwort was one of the most warmongering Klingon generals in the Empire and his love for the Federation was not much, if the Klingons attacked...
“Sisko,” Qwort interrupted the commander's thoughts, “the Federation displeased me, you displeased me. The Klingon council could say that you left us no choice but to start the war, we could say that to our young people... But we would know!, the entire Klingon high council would know! Sisko, tomorrow we will surely be enemies, but now let us respect the treaty between the Federation and the Empire... It is a good day to die for both of us!”
The Klingon fleet advanced forward to protect the DS-9 from the Romulan attack.
The Romulans had not only amassed this new fleet, but their commanders seemed capable as well, and although Worf told Sisko that a Klingon was worth ten times more in combat than a Romulin, the scales leaned in favor of the traitors.
The remaining five Federation ships were destroyed and nearly three thousand Klingon ships shared the same fate, the Romulans destroyed the other ships that were unfit to fight and only ten remained to protect the station, General Qwort had died. The Romulins kept about 2,000 ships and began their attack on the station.
“The Romulans were intelligent, they fought outside the range of the station's torpedoes, but now they have no way out, they will have to face the station," Sisko said.
The remaining ten Klingon ships decided to stick to the station and provide protection as it turned out to be deadly to face in open space as Qwort did. The station prepared its torpedoes and the battle began.
“My Klingon comrades! The Empire has died on this day, so let's make sure to take the Romulan Empire with us," cried a captain of a Klingon ship.
“Sir, the shields in sectors b-48, a-52, g-3 and v-2 are severely damaged," O' Brien reported, as strong shocks rocked the entire station.
“Kira, tell the Klingons to position themselves by covering each of these points with their ships," Sisko commanded.
“I will do so, sir," the Bayoran replied when a loud explosion was felt at the scene, a Klingon ship had been destroyed.
“Damn Romulins," Worf said, "torpedoes will not be enough against so many ships.”
“Then make every shot count, Mr. Worf," said Sisko when another heavy blast sent several crew members off their posts.
“Mr. O' Brien report," said Sisko. Mr. O' Brien....
Dax approached O' Brien and took a pulse to his neck.
“Sisko, he's dead...”
“No damn it! Do they want to destroy the station?”
“Sisko, the Romulans are not yet communicating with us, they don't demand surrender or anything," Kira said worried.
“Then this is how it ends, Romulus takes over this quadrant and then will direct his attack to the federation...” another explosion shakes the place, another Klingon ship falls prey to the enemies and then another and another and another.
“Sir, this is madness I have several dead and wounded, you must surrender immediately," Dr. Bashir begged Sisko, from his console in the station infirmary.
“Dr. Bashir, please hold on, help is on the way," Sisko lied. The Romulins cut off all communication with the Starfleet, they were alone. Nor could he order the station to evacuate, since the Romulans would shoot at the escape pods, no matter how many innocent civilians there were.
“Sisko, all the shields are at only twenty percent of their capacity," Kira reported, and another explosion rocked the station. Sparks and metal splinters flew all over the DS-9 control room.
“Are you all right?” Sisko asked, walking bent over the many shrapnel discharges that were still taking place in the control room when he found Worf unconscious on the floor.
“Dax, Dax, help me move Worf... Dax.”
“Sisko," Kira told her commander as she put her hand on his shoulder. “Dax died...”
“No, no, no, no... Why dammit...? What will happen now?”
“Kira, Kira!” Odo shouted and came to the woman and held her tightly.
“Bashir is wounded...”
“I think it's the end.”
“So it seems," said the station's security chief and held the woman tighter in his arms.
Several parts of the station were falling apart. At the bar, Quark was mourning his brother's death.
“You were the most awkward and unfit Ferengi for the business that there could be... But as a brother, well, you were also a disappointment... But I'm still going to miss you, but not for long, I'll soon put up with your clumsiness in heaven, dear brother.”
The last of the Klingon ships exploded along with the last torpedo machine on the space station and the Romulans were still firing.
“They keep attacking, someone help us... Please," Sisko said with tears of helplessness.
Four Romulan ships appeared on the DS-9's flawed screen when all of them suddenly exploded, apparently hit by heavy projectiles of some kind.
“Finally.... they appeared...," said Worf, who had just regained consciousness.
