There is, however, a problem, sir. As soon as we hail Vontak Nor, the Cardassians here will notice our presence. Perhaps the only way of contacting them safely would be to exit the system.

"Yes, perhaps the raid would be a good way, but I'd like to keep that option for in case the other options fail. If we walk in there and simply request the materials we need, with a good excuse, they will not likely check on our profiles. And if they decide to do so anyway, what's the harm? I have access to the most restricted areas Starfleet's databanks, I can choose perfectly what they will see when they search for our names. I can even make it seem as if admiral Vorak officially ordered himself for us to pick up those materials. They would never know. All we need is an excuse that we need those materials for."
