"One day, a wounded changeling came stumbling through the forest, fleeing from a mob of angry Solids. ... A family of Vorta hid the changeling from his pursuers. And in exchange for saving his life, the changeling promised the Vorta that one day, we would be transformed into powerful beings. That we would become an important part of a great new empire that would stretch across the galaxy."
