Story:Star Trek: Deep Space Nine/For the Uniform/Chapter Two

The Defiant is docked at the Station.

''Captain's log, stardate 50488.2. The Defiant has returned to the station, but not under its own power. The starship Malinche had to tow us home.''

In his office Commander Halliwell and Chief O'Brien are giving Captain Martin the complete damage report on the Defiant and how long it will take to restore her systems.

We've got our work cut out for us. Commander Martin's cascade virus disabled every memory circuit on the Defiant. We have to reload and reprogram the entire database Chief O'Brien says as he looks at Captain Martin and hands him a padd.

Captain Martin looks at him.

How long will it take? Captain Martin says as he looks at him.

Miles looks at the Commander then at the Captain.

If we were at a spacedock of starbase a month but here two weeks. And that's working with three shifts round the clock Chief O'Brien says as he looks at the Captain and Commander.

He looks at him.

Get started and if you need any additional help I'll see what I can do Captain Martin says as he looks at him.

He nods and leaves as Commander Halliwell looks at him.
