Do your job correctly for the Vorta(s) (e.g. the trans-queer overlords employed by the shape-shifter Dominion aliens) and you get to stay alive for another week... Sounds like the military vaxx purge, VA benefits/homeless/suicide debacle and the  transnational oligarchy all rolled into one great story! 😅
