"So now you want to cooperate..... Well Commander, it really makes not
difference how you back door it. Any judge will throw out anything you go to him with
because your knowledge is based on a legally forbidden action. Any defence lawyer
worth half his wait in dirt would be able to get your evidence kicked, and without
evidence you have no case. But in the spirit of interagency cooperation, it was a
pair of hands. Human hands at that. It was not clear if they were from differnet
individuals, but I would say so..."

"Just wait a minute here. There is no we. When you decided to take jurisdiction
and let the Bajoran in, you accepted all responsibility. Basicially, it's not our
problem, it's all yours my good Commander." the agent replied. Obviously happy with
things...
