TREK NOTES:
BASHIR:   Yes. I work for one of the nation states of this era, Great Britain, which 
	   is battling various other nations in what is called the Cold War. This 
	   apartment, my clothes, weapons, even my valet were provided to me 
	   by my government.
GARAK:    I think I joined the wrong intelligence service.  	[ ... ]  Isn't this a rather
	   ostentatious life for a spy?
BASHIR:   It's all part of my cover. I'm posing as a wealthy jet-setter, so I have
	   to act like one.  [DS9 "Our Man Bashir"]
