Make Trek Not War

Damar is reading these fuckass romance novels and the odd enigma tale but hes not actually reading any sincere literature since he got out of officer school and stopped having assigned reading. He loves thr cheap pop novel because cardassian tours of duty are so goddamn long and boring he can get through like 6 of them in a week. Weyoun does also think this is a disgusting habit. Hes read all of the ones damar has.

Both Tain and Mila have read every book that crosses their desk, either out of a passionate love for cardassian escapism or redlining it for censorship, sometimes crossing wires about it. Enabrian tain absolutely let shoggoth get away with a little more critique of the state then the order typically does before he disappears him bc he does love a little logical puzzle especially wrapped up in a backwards version of patriotism. Mila does unfortunately think the spy romances are hot and also funny, bc the ideas they have about how the order functions is just so charmingly stupid.

Bashir's work establishing a dental service on DS9 is surely one of the great unsung achievements of the post-Occupation period, and the work he does is adopted throughout Bajor during the reconstruction. It's not like you'd be able go to the dentist easily towards the end of the Occupation, nor train as a dentist either. He trains up a couple of his team so that he doesn't get overwhelmed just dealing with everyone's teeth.

But naturally there's a fair amount of resistance to having anyone poke around inside your gob, or wave a needle at you, given Cardassian practices in this regard. Poor old Kira has to step up and set an example, having first had to put up with Bashir pinning her down at every available opportunity to explain the importance of dental care. She works out her frustration by ordering every single member of the Bajoran militia stationed on DS9 to get themselves down to Bashir's House of Dental Horrors. But it works, and the civilians start to follow.

None of the Ferengi take Bashir up on the doctor's kind offer to extend the station dental service to them, and, indeed, consider it something of an insult.
