Makes me wonder what became of Rugal, the “orphan” left after the occupation of Bajor.
O’BRIEN: How do your parents feel about Cardassians?
RUGAL: They hate them.
O’BRIEN: Why would you want to live with someone who hates you?
RUGAL: They hate other Cardassians, not me. My parents have never done anything wrong to me.
O’BRIEN: Come on, even I got my bottom whacked by my Dad once or twice.
RUGAL: Not me. My parents follow the teachings of the Prophets. What do you think of Cardassians?
O’BRIEN: Me? Well, I can’t say, really.
RUGAL: Why not?
O’BRIEN: Well, you can’t judge a whole race of people. You can’t hate all Cardassians or all Klingons or all humans. I’ve met some Cardassians I didn’t like, and I’ve met some I did. Like you.
RUGAL: Do you know how many Bajorans the Cardassians murdered during the occupation? Over ten million. We had a test on it in school. I wish I wasn’t Cardassian.
It sucks even more for him that it wasn’t even human tech but Cardassian.
“I don’t hate you, Cardassian… I just hate the machines made by you and what they have made me do.”
