Excerpt

“I’m sorry, but this is not okay,” Kasidy said. She was talking to herself as much to Kira and Yevir, her words gathering speed as they poured out. “I can’t stay here if this is what it’s going to be like. I’m a person with a life, I’m not some indirect religious figure in a cause, and if you think I’m going to let my child be involved in any part of this particular dilemma, think again. Ten thousand Bajorans dying so he or she can be worshipped as some kind of spiritual embodiment, as some thing?”

Kas folded her arms tighter and then deliberately relaxed them, so tuned to the second life inside her that she almost reflexively protected it now. It wasn’t a matter of choice, her current priorities didn’t allow for choice; she couldn’t have this madness in her life.

“I’ll leave,” she said calmly. “I’ll get as far away from here as possible.”

Before anyone could speak, a man’s unfamiliar voice spilled out of an open com on Ro’s desk, deep and clear and very fast.

“Security alert, the Jem’Hadar has killed at least two people and is no longer in containment. Starfleet medical officer down, needs emergency transport to medical facilities. This is Commander Elias Vaughn, acknowledge . . .”
