 The cast and crew were enthusiastic on set , with editor Steve Tucker calling it a " <unk> party " . Behr said of the cast and crew in the episode that " They all were having fun . Just sitting on those sets , being on that bridge , it was a <unk> , a real <unk> . " <unk> L. <unk> was brought in at the last minute to play Lt. <unk> , as she was a friend of one of the production crew and had previously appeared as a <unk> pleasure girl in The Next Generation episode " Captain 's Holiday " . She was brought in because none of the actresses the producers had seen during the casting process could say the role 's one line ( " <unk> 15 " ) convincingly enough . Her involvement led to the role 's being expanded into a second scene where she was revealed to be Bashir 's great @-@ grandmother .
