It started innocuously enough. Jake's adviser from the Pennington Institute forwarded him an article from the Earth and Moon Daily Chronicle she thought he might be interested in. It's about the Dominion occupation of Deep Space 9, and how residents were affected by it. It's a good article. Thought-provoking, insightful. Written by a professional, in partnership with a professional holographer. The perfect article, the kind that people will discuss years after the fact.

It was published before the occupation ended.

This fic was originally written in April of 2020 in response to a big publication coming to my university and writing an article about the same subject as an article I was working on.
