This is more cracky than I like to get in my Dominion fic but I'm currently entertaining myself by thinking about a scenario in which a Vorta has to convince a Changeling to get into a very small jar in order to be delivered secretly to an infiltration site or something
It's like trying to coax a cat into a cat carrier except the cat is a god and you're trying so, so hard to be respectful

Write a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine screenplay where Romulans try to steal Joseph Sisko's Creole gumbo recipe and Commander Ben Sisko has to stop them
FADE IN:
EXT. DEEP SPACE NINE - SPACE
The exterior of Deep Space Nine, a space station in the Alpha Quadrant, is shown, hovering in the endless void of space.
INT. DEEP SPACE NINE - COMMAND CENTER
The command center is bustling with activity. Commander Ben Sisko is at the helm, overseeing the daily operations.
Suddenly, an alert sounds from the console in front of him.
COMPUTER (V.O.)
Intruder alert!
Sisko looks up, surprised.
SISKO
What's going on?
Suddenly, several Romulan warbirds decloak and surround the station.
SISKO
Red alert! All hands to battle stations!
The crew rushes to their posts as Sisko takes control of the situation.
SISKO
This is Commander Sisko. What do you want?
A Romulan voice replies over the comm.
ROMULAN (V.O.)
We are here to retrieve something of great value to us.
SISKO
What is it?
ROMULAN (V.O.)
We want the recipe for Joseph Sisko's Creole gumbo.
Sisko is taken aback.
SISKO
That's impossible. The recipe is a closely guarded family secret.
ROMULAN (V.O.)
We will not take no for an answer. Comply or suffer the consequences.
Sisko is determined not to let the Romulans get their hands on the recipe.
SISKO
Never. You'll have to get through me first.
The Romulans prepare to attack. Sisko orders his crew to prepare for battle.
SISKO
Fire all weapons!
The Deep Space Nine crew fires at the Romulan ships, but the Romulans manage to dodge the attacks.
The Romulans launch a powerful energy beam at the station. Sisko orders the shields up, but the beam manages to penetrate them.
The Romulans board the station and begin searching for the recipe.
Sisko and his crew fight off the Romulans, but they are outnumbered.
Suddenly, a voice rings out.
JOSEPH (O.S.)
Stop!
Joseph Sisko stands in the doorway, a stern look on his face.
JOSEPH
This recipe is not for sale.
The Romulans hesitate for a moment before turning on Joseph.
Sisko and his crew rush to Joseph's aid, and a fierce battle ensues. The Romulans are finally defeated, and the recipe is safe. Sisko and Joseph look at each other with a knowing smile.
JOSEPH
I guess I owe you one.
SISKO
No, you don't. I'm just glad we were able to protect the family secret.
Joseph nods in agreement.
FADE OUT.

Honestly Garak's lines when under distress are the fucking funniest.
Worf: "Are you trying to make me mad!?"
Garak: "I'm trying, is it working!?"
Nog: "What is it?"
Garak: "I'm not sure..." (Jem'hadar appear) "Now I'm sure."
(Jem'hadar teleport into Garak's shuttle)
Garak: "Ah! Could you show us the way to the wormhole?"

quark: for the last time, odo, it's not theft, it's the future. artificial intelligence, for the masses! totally unbiased because of its limiting factors; where older models take all the knowledge of their brilliant creators, my model takes knowledge a layman might use and predicts your needs.
odo: i see. and what need do the multiple fabrications of starfleet personnel in the nude fulfill?
quark: the simplest need in the world, odo, even you understand that.
odo: and your unauthorized and potentially libelous auto-generated materials are sourced purely from materials you own.
quark: sure, sure, materials i own, materials other ferengi own, materials i scraped from the datanet - that's ownership too! if no one claims it, that means it's free.
odo: i see. you do understand your generative text is limited purely to information on the datanet, yes?
quark: yes.
odo: and anyone, from the most brilliant scientific mind to the most drooling infidel capable of using a computer, can put whatever they want on the datanet, yes?
quark: yes, exactly! information sourced from the masses, not from some ivory tower federation scholars.
odo: yes, and that's all well and good. now, i've taken a printout i confiscated from some students at o'brien's academy. this is what your "artificial intelligence" produced when sisko's boy asked for a comprehensive history of interpsecies relationships throughout history.
quark: oh, so it IS being used for intellectual enrichment after all. NOT theft. let me see tha--oh. wh--is that...? i don't even know half of these words, odo...a-are these--?
odo: slurs, yes. mostly sourced from orion street gangs, but slurs nonetheless.
quark: that is a LOT of slurs...

I’ve been slowly reading the ds9 relaunch novels lately and good god if you thought ezri and bashir in the show was bad, it’s (somehow) so much worse. Like the age gap is bad, yes; the constant comparison to jadzia is bad, yes. But I’ve never read any pairing with such little chemistry.
And it sucks even more because like she has chemistry with almost every other character who actually close to her age (which is quite a few actually) so it makes her and bashirs relationship feel  particularlly terrible.
They eventually break up, so at least I have that to looked forward too.
