Trivia:

When Chief O'Brien and Dax are looking at the schematics of the encrypted file which displays the security overrides of the forcefields leading to Runabout Pad A, it is the exact same animation used in one of the previous episodes "Dramatis Personae" (#1.17) when Odo is helping Sisko and O'Brien.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Odo questions Quark on the Promenade about Ensign Aquino's murder, you see Morn walking in the background from right to left. A few moments later in the same scene, when Odo and Chief O'Brien are talking, you see Morn walking by in the background again, also from right to left.

Quotes:

Vedek Bareil: I was five, the first time one of the monks grabbed my ear. He was a stern old crow who could virtually squeeze the pod of you with his thumb and forefinger. And as a chronic misbehaver, I was his favorite victim. I swore one of my life's goals would be to do away with that archaic ritual.
Commander Sisko: You can count on the Federation's support.
