Scotty's been quietly looking forward to Caro's Victory Tour stopping in District 3 more or less since she won. It'll be nice to see both her and Walter outside the Capitol for once. For a number of reasons. But then Caro had that minor meltdown in one of her posts, and Scotty really would like their train to hurry up so he can see for himself that she's all right. He's seen Data having rotten days like that often enough. His current plan is to make a great pest of himself and see if hugging sense into people is possible. He thinks Data's plan is probably similar.

So instead of waiting for the dinner party after the speech, Scotty's waiting at the train station.

Caro is finally in District 3. She feels like getting from 5 to 4 to 3 took a month. As usual, Garak and Weyoun bustle off the train before she can. She assumes Weyoun is just being himself, but she knows Garak does it at least in part as a small security measure. It's sweet of him, really. She steps off the train and is surprised to see Scotty waiting for them. She's just opening her mouth to say hello when he steps forward and engulfs her in a hug.

"Mornin' lass," he says brightly.

"Uh, hi Scotty." It takes her a second, but she returns the hug.
