Jake shrugged at his friend as they ate.

"Well, you're a better man than me."

Nog looked up from his meal.

"What do you mean?"

Jake shook his head.

"With all the garbage she's pulled, I just don't know that I would have saved 'Her Eminence' from those Jem'Hadar. But you didn't even hesitate."

Nog seemed noncommital.

"Well, she's not my favorite person. But that is my sworn duty, and besides, its what Captain Kirk would have done."

"Seriously?"

Nog nodded.

"Absolutely. At the Academy, Professor Kirk told us all that his uncle just didn't believe in The No-Winn Scenario."
