ON:
Kristian had wandered into a village and found a young boy crying, walking over to them she knelt infront of them “My name is Alora, I’m new to the village, why are you crying?”
“Them,” he said pointing to one of the Jem Hadar guards who was watching Kristian and the boy “He takes people from here and they don’t come back. Says they’re going for target practice. I followed them when he took my daddy. He shot my daddy and my daddy didn’t get up again. He just piled rocks on my daddy and laughed.”
“Where’s your mummy?” Kristian asked as she carefully studied the boy, satisfied that he wasn’t hurt, just minor bumps, bruises and scrapes most kids got.
“In there,” the boy said pointing to a cave “Girls go in there and work all day, then when they come out they’re dirty and the bad people make them cook them food. If they don’t like the food cooked the girls get hit.”
“Where are the men at?” Kristian asked
“Boys are kept in cages all day in the sun while the girls dig in the caves, us kids do what ever the bad men tell us to do. They always want water and even when the boys and the girls ask for some we can’t give them any as we’ll get hit too. Can you help us?” the boy asked wiping away dirty tears from his dirty face.
“I’ll try,” Kristian assured him as the guard walked over and grabbed Kristian by the arm and yanked her to her feet, spinning Kristian grabbed his arm and applied pressure to his wrist causing the Jem Hadar to yelp in pain as he let go of her arm, “Try learning some manners.” Kristian told him “What do you want?”
“You’re not working,” the guard said “Why? Think you’re too good to work? Get in that cave and get to work and the next time you try what you just did you’ll lose that arm.”
Kristian winked at the boy as she headed into the cave, this was a good chance to talk to the other women and find out what was going on.
