I’ll admit I don’t remember the beginning of the episode very well, so they may have addressed this, but I just thought about how weird it is that Starfleet was like “Sure take this Vorta POW and trade him for your mom, it’s fine,” when Ishka was captured by the Dominion.
Then I realized that Keevan is the Vorta equivalent of a sullen goth teenager and they were probably anxious to unload that pale little ball of gloom on someone else.
