Bek hanged himself on the Promenade shortly thereafter. The day after the massacre, Vedek Bareil visited Bek for several hours, during which time Kubus could hear shouting coming from Bek's quarters. In the time leading up the massacre, Bek became panicked and erratic while in constant communication with a then-unknown source within the Assembly. Questioning Kubus in the cargo bay, he claims Bek was just a simple messenger between the Cardassians and the Vedek Assembly. Winn and Kira two strike a tentative deal: Kira will investigate these claims, and Winn will await her findings. Between a traitor like Kubus and a snake like Winn, she has little reason to. Kira naturally doesn't buy a word of this. Kubus gave her the name of the real collaborator, and it's Vedek Bareil. She claims that the real traitor was not Prylar Bek as previously thought. That something was information on the Kendra Valley Massacre, which resulted when a collaborator named Prylar Bek sold out 43 Bajoran resistance members, including the son of Kai Opaka. With that scheme squashed, she's onto another one: granting sanctuary to Kubus Oak.Īn outraged Kira investigates and discovers that Winn spent ten minutes talking with Kubus before accessing something on Odo's console. She tries to cajole Sisko into a joint appearance in front of the Vedek Assembly, but Sisko calls out her ploy to make it seem like she's got an endorsement from the Emissary. Vedek Winn meanwhile is up to her passive-aggressive schemes. She also notes that he was officially banished by the free Bajoran government years ago, so the matter isn't even up for debate. That's when Kira comes in, reminding him of the countless death warrants he signed while in power. He also pleads his age, claiming there's no harm in letting an old man live his final years on his home world. Locked inside a cell, Kubus tries defending his actions, claiming the situation on Bajor would have been even worse without the collaborators. As he's dragged off, Kubus catches the eye of a nearby Vedek Winn. A burgeoning lynch mob of Bajorans surrounds the man before Odo steps in and places him under arrest. He's spent the last few years hiding on Cardassia but has decided to return home. The slimy Bajoran is back on the station and obviously up to no good.Īs Kira and Winn trade accusations and not-so-veiled contempt, an old Bajoran wandering through the station gets recognized as Kubus Oak, an infamous Cardassian collaborator back during the occupation. But Vedek Winn isn't taking the looming election lying down. The elections for Kai are just around the corner, but you'd never know that by the way the frontrunner Vedek Bareil is behaving: spending all his free time banging Kira.
