    Solmek stood before the human Federation captain still restrained by the uncomfortable neck chains he attached to her. Her piercing eyes never left him as he slowly approached her, his rippling muscles on full display. "I paid a good price to procure you, my dear. Tell me...how does it feel to know that you'll forever be my love slave?" Captain Chad Longbottom boasted with a condescending, yet knowing smile.
    Solmek spoke in an even tone "I have no extreme feelings of this manner, and find your actions illogical." she answered stoically.
    Longbottom undid his pants zipper and let them fall in a bunch to his feet, his heavy set of metals on full display. Solmek stared for a few moments longer than she would have liked. Her answer told the whole story. "Fascinating."

      Odo isn't technically a member of the federation, he works for the Bajoran provisional government, which is not a federation member. The Bajorans have a temporary alliance with the federation that keeps the Cardassians out, all they have to do is allow the federation access to their wormhole, which they monitor with their presence on DS9, which happens to be where Odo works.

    I like when after being miserable and angry to the point that he is literally falling apart in his quarters Quark comes to initially complain about the noise and then comforts Odo. Quark reminds Odo he is such an adept security chief people take bets on how long he will take to solve a case and that people hold in high regard.
    Then in true bartender fashion, since bartenders have seen the same thing over and over, he presents Odo a choice:
    Tell Kira how he feels about her
    Or focus on his work (and possible romance elsewhere).
    Odo is somewhat feeling better when Quark says he has got to get back to his bar. Odo laments he thought Quark was being a friend. Quark, both knowing Odo is too proud to admit needing a friend/having to remain strong says he isn’t. On the inside Quark is clearly Odo’s friend-at the very least a mutual sense of respect. Quark even says to some other people, defending Odo, that he is the closest thing he has to a friend.
    Great actors.

It also would have been interesting to see him and Kira together when he was human.
