Progress

Kira must convince an old man, Mullibok, to abandon his home on the fifth moon of Bajor, Jeraddo. He escaped to it forty years ago, and survived alone for years, though others eventually joined him. Now, the Bajoran government intends to extract energy from the moon's core, which will render the moon uninhabitable. Everyone except Mullibok and his two companions have been evacuated, but Mullibok is determined to stay on the moon, even if it kills him.

Eventually, Kira burns his home to the ground to induce him to leave. Being on the side of the oppressors, this time, is not very pleasant.

In the B plot, Jake and Nog trade fifty wrappages of Cardassian yamok sauce for a hundred gross of self-sealing stem bolts for a parcel of land, which Quark then sells back to the Bajoran government. Perhaps Jake has the lobes for business?
