[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [qb] Sisko arguably ruined any chance the Federation had of finding a diplomatic solution to the Odyssey incident and the destruction of the Bajoran colonies when he took a heavily armed experimental starship into the heart of the Dominion looking for the homeworld of its notoriously secretive rulers. Gosh, I can't imagine how they might misinterpret that. This is a problem with the story as presented, though, and not really a mistake Sisko the character made. [/qb][/QUOTE]Well, gosh! I don't think sending another GCS into the Gamma quadrant would have done any better either! How else could Starfleet have scouted the situation and attempted to reach the Founders? Remember that doing nothing was just not an option: Thousands of colonists had already been killed without the Dominion warning anyone about their supposed "territory". The systems directly around the Gamma entrance to the wormhole (Idran) are not part of the Dominion so Sisko going there should not really be a big provocation to war. I'm sure the Bajorans would have foolishly started sending ships to investigate their lost colonies if Starfleet had not sent the Defiant on behalf of both the Federation and the Romulans.
