We are in the meeting room, and Buket tells me what he wants.
"The planet Narva has changed it's orbit slightly recently, and is a mile within Cardassian space, so we are occupying that planet." he says, "The presents occupants must be evicted."
"They have been there always" I try to say, "The Narvans are the first and only occupants of the planet. We know little of them, but they have lived in peace for thousands of years."
Buket gets starchy.
"Nevertheless" Buket tells me, "Under Rule 4, Subsection C, Paragraph 3, we are within our rights to expel these people. They can go to nearby Tamos."
"That is a lava-filled world that would kill them off in a month." I protest, and reach for a sress pill.
"Gul Duket is quite right." Data informs me, "The Treaty clearly states that the Cardassians can enforce this."
Data is no help; will someone switch him off?
