Once the sun set, Angira could become bitterly cold. [Lord Bhima] noticed, however, that the dozen sinha [warriors] made a point of ignoring the cold as they waited for his orders.

The story so far: after a tentative beginning and a gradual process of refinement and development, Deep Space Nine kicked off the Dominion plot arc, which saw growing tensions leading to a slide towards conflict.
