Captain Sisko:
[telling the story of him and Solok to Kasidy] We were in the same class at the academy. One weekend, I was with some friends in a bar off campus, The Launching Pad, when Solok came in with a group of Vulcan cadets. Said they were doing research on 'illogical human bonding rituals'. We didn't take too kindly to that.

Kasidy Yates:
And you'd had a few drinks.

Captain Sisko:
One or two. Well, we got into a debate and Solok said that Vulcans were naturally superior to Humans and other 'emotionally handicapped species'. Of course, I took the opposite position. So there I am, drunk and debating logic versus emotion with a smug and very sober Vulcan. Well, to make a long story short, I decided that the best way to prove that Humans were every bit the equal of Vulcans was to challenge him to a wrestling match.

Kasidy Yates:
Wrestling?

Captain Sisko:
All I wanted to do was wipe that arrogant look off his face so with everyone watching, in the heat of the moment, I challenged him.

Kasidy Yates:
And?

Captain Sisko:
I ended up in the infirmary with a separated shoulder, two cracked ribs and a very bruised ego.

Kasidy Yates:
[laughing] Oh Ben! I don't mean to laugh but what did you expect? A Vulcan has three times the strength of a human.

Captain Sisko:
[whistles] And they're faster too. But you're right - I got what I deserved. And if it had ended right there it would've been fine. But it didn't. Solok took every opportunity to remind me about our match. He used to point me out whenever I walked across the campus. In fact, he wrote 5 psychology papers about our match. I became the living embodiment of why Vulcans were inherently superior to Humans.

Kasidy Yates:
You don't mean he was gloating? A Vulcan?

Captain Sisko:
That's exactly what I mean. He may have hidden it beneath that Vulcan calm of his, but he loved every minute of it. And you'd think that once we graduated it would have stopped. But it didn't. Over the years, Solok wrote over a dozen papers on Vulcan/Human comparative profiles, and at the beginning of every paper is an analysis of that damn wrestling match.

Kasidy Yates:
And now he comes to your station and announces that he's put together a baseball team.

Captain Sisko:
Solok doesn't care about baseball. All he wants to do is rub it in my nose on more time but this time he's using my game. My game!
