Una McCormack commented: “With Elima Antok, I was thinking of the orphans that we see in ‘Cardassians’ who have been left behind on Bajor because of their mixed heritage. I started to wonder whether any of these children had been born on Cardassia, whether they had been able to ‘pass’ as full Cardassian, and what changes would need to happen in Cardassian society before someone could live openly there as part-Cardassian, part-Bajoran. I find it really moving when, at the end of Enigma Tales, Elima feels she can put on her earring in public, and that her children will, hopefully, never have the sense that they have to hide away that part of their history. It tells us how far Cardassia has come.”
