Sharper than a Serpent's Tooth by Cardie-ologist (PG-13)
Fandom: STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE
Pairing: None
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: Cardie-ologist's Fanfic Pages
Why this must be read:
Cardassia's occupation of Bajor is central to the show, yet surprisingly few fan stories choose to address this period. 'Sharper than a Serpent's Tooth' (part of a series about Odo on Terok Nor) is a realistic, subtly-characterised story dealing with an appalling act of Bajoran terrorism & the terrible Cardassian countermeasures it threatens to provoke -- a situation as relevant now as it is within the Trekverse. Cardie-ologist cleverly uses the plot to delve into the complex relationship between Odo & Dukat, and between Cardassia & Bajor.
The harbingers of disaster had begun surfacing several months before. The Cardassians had forcibly removed every single one of the inhabitants of the sparsely populated southernmost Bajoran province of Chevra to refugee camps hundreds of kilometers distant. Then they had brought in a community of over 1000 pioneers from Cardassia who were to establish an agricultural colony there. ...
The Resistance reacted as anticipated. Guerrilla raids and bombings slowed construction of the settlement considerably, but eventually Dukat deployed sufficient military detachments to get the project completed and the colonists moved in without incident. For three weeks, as the colonists established themselves, no Resistance activity occurred in the area at all. Then, today, the Resistance had made its move. At 10:30 hours, provincial time, three massively powerful explosive devices had gone off inside the settlement's schoolhouse. Not one of the 173 students and seven teachers inside had survived the blast. Untraceable comm signals had simultaneously gone out to every Cardassian receiver on the planet announcing that the bombing had been carried out by the Saren cell, whose leader, Saren Kifor, vowed that he would exterminate every Cardassian child on Bajor rather than permit wholesale colonization of the planet.
