The lightning you have on that Ferengi head is frightening lol
The kid was a kidnapping victim. He should absolutely go back to his biological parents.
Inanimate objects can be replicated, to some degree, but they imply some things can't be. (Clothing is often replicated, I believe Data replicated something for Cheif's wedding as a present, Data replicated the musician a guitar in The Neutral Zone. There are episodes of DS9 coming up where it is mentioned in passing that the Federation had provided some Industrial Replicators to Bajor to help with the Recovery from the Occupation. I believe there are episodes where it is mentioned that ones at certain locations are used to create parts for repairs, sometimes.
Yes, this is why they can’t replicate torpedoes. The replicators also need prime materials to replicate from. They don’t make stuff out of nothing. They need the basic elements. You need gold to replicate an object with gold in it. At some point they mention that Gold pressed Latinum can’t be replicated, and that is where its value is.
As far as th e kid showing up on the station, that other alien brought him and his Bajoran father, sat down next to Garak, and said bad things about how the boy's adopted parents treated him. Then Sisko later says that guy then suddenly dissappeared. I take it to mean that he was an operative of Dukat's who made sure the boy was in the right place at the right time to embarrass his political opponent father.
Which would also be why Dukat "Got Wind of the Attack" so quickly.
I find it amusing you guys see “in person” Ducat differently than “view screen” Ducat even though both are “TV screen” Ducat.
