Starts off with O'Brien being overworked trying to fix everything. It ends up with everyone being sick after being stricken with a disease that makes them talk in gibberish & not

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Deep Space Nine Ep 5 - Babel - 25 Jan 1993 2/2 being able to be understood. Must have been fun to write all the gibberish. This also has some good Quark character development. I love that it was Quark that was the one who was left running the station in ops in the end.
