![]() Welcome to the first birthday party of Five-Minute Deep Space Nine! Before one year ago, we did have DS9 fivers, but the section wasn't a regular producer like 5MST or 5MNG and didn't have a section head. It always bugged me that this one Trek series didn't get the status the others had at 5MV, even though we were all fans of it. That was one problem -- the other was what to do with Derek Dean. Since around August 2002, Derek had been writing fivers so fast we thought he had to be getting his brains fried by a psychic vampire muse thing on the side. Like Kira before him, he didn't ask to join the staff, he wrote his way into it. So we had a subsite without a head and a prospective staffer without a subsite -- Occam's Razor, anyone? 5MD has prospered under Derek's leadership, and we're all proud to see it reach the one-year mark. So, as we at 5MV are wont to do, we've prepared a little celebration of the anniversary. Over the next three days (counting today), we'll be publishing nine DS9 fivers. To kick things off, Derek has done the three-episode Eddington/Maquis arc: "For the Cause," "For the Uniform," and "Blaze of Glory." You'll also notice some changes at 5MD itself -- it's the latest subsite to get the PHP treatment. I've fine-tuned and added a lot of details to the fiver pages; as much as possible has been automated. The season pages have a new look, and the front page has been converted to the "menu" style of the other Trek subsites. Poke around; you'll find some interesting changes. (Not everything is filled in yet, most notably the blurbs, but they're coming.) So raise a raktajino to 5MD -- one year strong, with many enemies yet to conquer in glorious battle -- and make sure to come back today and Saturday.[/color ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() There's a word for that kind of threat: effective. ![]() I also especially liked : [quote ![]() Worf: Wrong, the Maquis are traitors and deserve death. Right, Eddington? Eddington: I have no comment. O'Brien: Why does your eye twitch every time someone says "Maquis"? Kira: It didn't. All of the ship's computers crashed. Sisko: Ah, I was wondering when space had suddenly become blue. Eddington: I am so Canadian -- as surely as my name is Leftenant Commander Eddington. [/quote ![]() [quote ![]() ![]() I second the motion. My compliments to Derek for a great inaugural 5MD year, and my thanks for the terrific 5MNG fivers he still finds time to write. [quote ![]() ![]() Which is very attractive! I like it a lot.[/color ![]()

[quote ![]() Eddington: I have no comment. O'Brien: Why does your eye twitch every time someone says "Maquis"? ... Kira: Garak, can I talk to you about your date with Ziyal? Garak: Certainly, Major. What do you have to say? Kira: You probably should have that black eye looked at before you cancel your date with her. Garak: What black -- (PUNCH!) Kasidy: Hi, Ben. How'd you find out we were smugglers? Sisko: Eddington painted "Maquis Smuggler" on the side of your ship. Kasidy: Eddington did that? Why that no-good, lying traitor! Sisko: Wait, Eddington's a traitor? Eddington: Load those breadmakers on to that unmarked ship over there and then take control of the station. Reese: Okay. Eddington: Oh, and Major? I'd do something about that black eye before Sisko returns. Kira: What black -- (PUNCH!)[/quote ![]() :lol: [quote ![]() Sisko: What does Odo have to do with anything? ... Sisko: Eddington thinks of himself as the hero. Now what does every hero want to do? Dax: Get the girl. Sisko: Besides that. Dax: Make witty comments? Sisko: Surrender, Dax! The hero wants to surrender! Have you learned nothing from Picard?[/quote ![]() :lol: [quote ![]() Sisko: Sigh. This Maquis thing sounds like A-plot material, which unfortunately means I'm probably going to have to deal with -- Sisko: Wake up, Eddington. Eddington: Hi, Captain. What do you want? Sisko: The Maquis sent a transmission saying they're going to blow up Cardassia with some missiles. Eddington: Ah, yes, our Dreadnought missiles. They're unstoppable. Sisko: Surely you don't really mean that. Eddington: I do. The only person who could bring down those missiles was B'Elanna Torres. And don't call me Shirley.[/quote ![]() ![]() ![]()

[/quote ![]() So typically Garak, ![]() [quote ![]() Sanders: (over the holo-comm) Sure can. By the way, aren't these new holo-communicators cool?

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Well, let me know when you figure it out, cause I'd sure like to know. "Blaze of Glory" does have a different feel to me than most of my other fivers, but I don't know if there was anything deliberate on my part. Thanks, everyone for the congrats. I've really enjoyed being a section head and working with guest writers. Here's to another year of Niner Fivers.[/color ![]()
