The CSS Enterprise may have taken a beating, and we may have lost our secondary hull, but we will prevail. Our saucer still has fight in it; half of our crew is still alive. We’ve lost most of our Suliban, Risian, and Imperial Vulcan fleet ships, but we will hold out. We will hold out -- with whatever we still have flying, even if all we have left are cargo ships. We will hold until our Dominion allies can arrive. Then, we will drive those Bajoran zealots out of the Confederation core worlds, and reclaim what was stolen from us!
We will hold. You hear that…. WE. WILL. HOLD!
We will not fall to the Bajorans!
