Illogical

[across-the-darkness-in-your-room]

I want to know what happens on DS9 when the most important members of the crew are aboard the Defiant. I mean, even the doctor, chief engineer and chief of security tag along on Defiant missions for no apparent reason. Bashir’s at the controls (?) and Odo just stands there saying, “Captain, all commination signals are standing by." Couldn’t some unknown Ensign have said that as well as our dear constable?

Meanwhile, each time the Defiant departs DS9 Ops threatens to blow up, sickbay becomes overrun with patients, and Quark gains so much profit from illegal sales the FCA has to investigate him.
