Chapter 24 - "It's Easy to be a Saint in Paradise." (Patreon)

“I once heard a saying, a piece of wisdom that I want to share with you, something that I think you could benefit greatly from. Though, it’s a piece of wisdom that you might not yet be ready to accept or understand. ‘It’s easy to be a saint in paradise,’ I said, parroting back the words and wisdom that Sisko would have uttered many years in the future when faced with a hard decision, where he had to sacrifice his Federation morality for the good of everyone. “Paradise is the safety and comforts and kindness of Earth and most of the Federation. You are far from paradise, Commander, and the quicker you realize that, the better your service here will be and the more good you will be able to do the people of Bajor. It will be hard to abandon those rose tinted glasses a citizen of the Federation wears all their life when viewing the galaxy, but you’ll be better for it, I promise.”
