"My point is, ten thousand years later, every other race in the quadrant is busy carving up the galaxy- except Bajor. Instead, we've been brutalized, terror-ized, occupied, and looted. And do you know why?"

"No," O'Brien said, his hand on his communicator, "but somehow I know you're going to tell me."

"Because for the past ten thousand years, the worm-hole aliens have dropped their Orbs on us, deluding us into thinking that there are gods above managing our fates. And since the gods are taking care of us, why should we bother taking care of ourselves?" Arla now stood in the center of the bridge, arms spread wide in frustrated anger. "Honestly, can you think of a better way to cripple a species than by telling them that if they just wait peacefully, everything will be given to them? There's no need to study, to learn, to explore. Or even to dream. Just sit down, make yourself comfort-able, and wait for the next dispatch from heaven." She shook her head, oblivious to O'Brien now, caught up in her own speechmaking. "You humans, and the Vul-cans, and Klingons, and Cardassians... you reached out to the universe. You built Starships and went look-ing for your gods. But on Bajor, with those hideous Orbs, the gods kept coming down to us, telling us not to worry, and not to try to better ourselves."
