When Garak was captured by the Jem'Hadar in "Rocks and Shoals," he told them a story and claimed to be someone from aboard the U.S.S. Centaur. What did he say?

Thanks,

          How many... others are there in
          your unit?

                    NOG
          Nog. Cadet Third Class. Serial
          Number CX dash nine three seven
          dash --

                    GARAK
          Shut up.
               (to Keevan)
          As I tried to explain to your men,
          my name is Kamar and I am a member
          of the Cardassian Intelligence
          Bureau -- what used to be known as
          the Obsidian Order. A week ago,
          while performing my duties in the
          glorious service of the Founders,
          I was captured by the USS Centaur.
          I was being held aboard one of
          their shuttles when we were forced
          to hide in this dark matter nebula
          by the unexpected appearance of a
          Dominion battleship. The shuttle
          was then hit by--

                    KEEVAN
          Excuse me, Mister Kamar -- if
          that's really your name -- but if
          you're one of our allies, why were
          you wearing this?

Keevan produces the Starfleet combadge that the
Jem'Hadar took from Garak. Garak reacts with a
resigned sigh -- he never really expected to get away
with this.

Held aboard a shuttle? That's pretty silly. It's like locking someone up in a speedboat on Alcatraz.
 
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
 
Well, perhaps, if Alcatraz were mobile, armed with killrays, and powered by a matter/antimatter furnace. You aren't going to outrun a starship in a shuttle.

That being said, it is a pretty silly cover story, as was tacitly acknowledged by all concerned.

Oddly enough... I just started watching the episode right before "Rocks and Shoals" this morning, so I'm going to get to see the Centaur this evening [Smile]

Killrays, Furnaces!?! LOL! Sol, are you sure you aren't Mr. Burns?

Oh and Aban, say "hi" to the Centaur for us! [Smile]

Timmy, where are you getting these DS9 scripts?
 
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
 
Presumably he's a proud owner of a copy of this.
 
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
 
Indeed I am.

You'd think that Garak, being a former spy, would have come up with a better story. Hmm.

Hey, cut him some slack. How many times did Bond pretend to be a business man and fail? [Big Grin]

the centaur, not being a ship of the line, might have lacked brig facilities.. especially if it was a wreckbash as DS9 TM claims (*ducks*)
 
Posted by Aban Rune (Member # 226) on :
 
She wasn't. And she says "Hi", by the way. She still looks fine.
 
Posted by Edipissed Wrecks (Member # 510) on :
 
did you get her drunk and take her to a cheap hotel for some wreckbash play?
 
Posted by Aban Rune (Member # 226) on :
 
[Smile] No... Andrew told me to say hi to her (back on page 1) since I mentioned I was about to watch a tape of the episode with her in it.

I've always liked that ship. I remember seeing that ep for the first time and going "SWEET!"

I'm a pretty easy date...
