Councillor Krim Aldos

// It would actually be Komanonova since female Slavic surnames generally end in -a.

You're right, but I don't know how I can forgive myself for what I did...

For the past twenty-four years, I've tried to represent Bajor to the best of my ability on the Federation Council, except for that time when Baras Rodirya posing as Ishan Anjar replaced me...I still feel the guilt for my actions.

And that's something I have to live with for the rest of my life.

I'm deeply sorry for everything...If I had only known, I would've had Jaro arrested as the traitor he was and the Circle never would have been powerful enough to even attempt a coup, but I suppose that's too little, too late...

I know, Captain. He wasn't who he claimed to be. He was a traitor to Bajor and I...I didn't realize it until it was almost too late, and it was you who told the truth about him.

He lied to me...

// Too late to apologize, Jamie!

// Yes, you do. Dee isn't missed, you know.

Yes, well...Anyway, I have a lot of respect for her.

Well, in a way, but then again, any Kira kind of makes me nervous.

Uh-oh...

Anything's possible, I suppose.

She is. She hasn't had much time for relationships since she became First Minister.

I guess appointing me to Rava's seat on the Federation Council was her way of thanking me for that.

I divorced her to save her political career. I would've been an albatross around her neck if we had stayed married.

I learned my lesson with Jaro and Rodiyas.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Ambassador.

Yes, he was.

She even appointed me to fill Councillor Rava's seat when Rava died. My ex-wife is...First Minister Asarem...

I hid in the mountains of Bajor until the Circle Commission cleared me of any criminal responsibility, but I think my ex-wife had something to do with my being cleared...

I think you might be confusing me for someone else. I'm Krim Aldos, Federation Councillor for Bajor.

Yes, Rodiyas, or Ishan as he claimed to be. He was a very convincing liar.

I resigned as Overgeneral because it was the only honorable thing I could've done. Somehow, knowing that I'm an idiot in another universe doesn't surprise me.

I wasn't trying to make excuses. I know I was wrong, whether I knew or not.

Yes, I am. I've represented Bajor on the Federation Council since 2376, except for a year or so where a collaborator impersonating a hero of the Resistance replaced me.

I believed Jaro's lies, yes, I admit it.

I was a general on this side too. In fact, I was the Overgeneral of the Militia until the coup.

You're welcome.

The thing is that I didn't realize that's what would've happened if the coup had succeeded. Jaro didn't tell me anything about who was supporting the Circle.

I almost betrayed Bajor without realizing it. Jaro told me nothing about the Cardassians' support of the Circle.

I've heard, and I must say you're doing a good job so far from what I've heard.

Captain Kira...yes, I've met her. If it hadn't been for her telling the Council of Ministers the truth about the Circle, Bajor would have fallen back under Cardassian occupation, thanks to my mistake.

What? I don't recall ever saying that.
