At the far end of the boulevard was the massive monument to Gul Darhe’el, hero of the Occupation. Ziyal had not yet visited it, and Penelya and Rugal insisted dryly that she must—every Cardassian child was dragged through it at least once in their school career. Rugal’s cohort at his academy had gone there on three separate occasions even during his brief time there. They joined the long queue, stretching back down the boulevard, and slowly shuffled toward the entrance.

The monument was a massive block of huge white stone with an arch cut right through it. At the center, sunk deep into the ground, was a big black stone on which Darhe’el’s name was set in golden letters. Visitors to the tomb streamed past on either side, coming through in opposite directions, passing the carvings on the wall that showed scenes from the gul’s life. When they reached the black stone, they had to bow their heads to look down at it. They had to show respect. “I hate this kind of thing,” Rugal muttered. “It’s offensive. There are sick and hungry people a short shuttle ride away from here, and still they spend all this money on huge monuments and infantile parades.”
