This was an episode the place Sisko and Weyoun needed to reluctantly workforce as much as cease some rogue Jem’Hadar from accessing an Iconian Gateway, unique alien tech that would permit them to move actually anyplace, making them a possible menace to the whole galaxy.
On this episode, Weyoun tries to tempt Sisko, providing to make him “absolute ruler of the Federation” one who would by no means have his authority checked by a Federation president or a Starfleet Chief of employees. Sisko refuses the supply, and Weyoun breezily admits that he’s “simply doing my job” and “attempting to construct a bridge between the Dominion and a possible ally.”
