*insert Kurland jokes*

Anyone else look for the Defiant blowing up when that was said?

    I did wonder, given that the dialogue box said "static" at the end, as if to suggest the transmission got cut off. I suspect I would be the only one to be sad if he died though. :/

    I did spot the Defiant dead in space with the damage gfx effects sparkling around it.

    No, you wouldn't. I like Kurland.

    I'm not sure, but I think I've seen the Defiant flying around. But in the chaos of the battle I wasn't paying that much attention to the others ;)​​

    I'm pretty sure I saw it right before I went through the portal.

    It was a cute in-joke for all those who complained about him... but I don't like the idea that the Defiant was sacrified for the joke potentially. As much as I want to see a T6 Defiant, ... not like this... but lol Kurland NO LONGER HERE

    I did see the Defiant flying around after its bit- heavily damaged, but there.

    Sorry but I'm kinda new to this, what are all these jokes about Kurland for? I actually like him :o

    It's from the 4400 episode arc, specifically "Boldly They Rode" - during the infiltration of DS9 when you're in the environmental suits, Kurland recommends radio silence, and then pops up with advice and mission objectives seemingly every thirty seconds with "Kurland here!" Or "This is Kurland!" as the voiceover.

    The combination of being chatted at all the time and the way "Kurland here" was delivered has made it a bit of a meme.

    As the Defiant was a named ship, she had Plot Armor mk 99. I remember her flying around shooting so she wasn't sacrificed. My guess is her comm systems were damaged, hence the static.

    I personally found it hilarious when Kurland popped onscreen. It happened at the conclusion of a firefight, but if I had been in intense battle I'd have been blown to smithereens while I laughed.

    I did laugh, and it was as a battle ended and I immediately thought of Trendy. Then wondered "Um, did they just leave Bajor undefended???"

    "Little? *Raises eyebrow*"

    Darn it, beat me to it.

    I had to pause the mission I was laughing so much at that meta joke. I think there was another meta joke on Iconia itself, but I forget what that was. But the Defiant didn't die. She was ganged up on, but she was holding her own and was still flying/shooting after the next objective appeared. At least for me.

    You don't need a Defiant class ship to defend Bajor...this is war, all available units to protect Earth as one final stand against a supposedly overwhelming enemy. They probably left behind a runabout to guard it and were fine

    I did remember that the Prophets were likely protecting Bajor and DS9. They did allow the Dominion to pass
