I love it.

Garak, the Cardassian, elite operative of the Obsidian Order who despite all he has endured still believes in both the order and its' mission. His first instinct and his training alike urge him to break up the Strike quash the dissent and return to the previous status-quo.

Yet Garak is also patient and methodical, he does his research and despite himself he feels friendship even sympathy for Rom. In the end he secretly slips Rom the necessary information to help support the strikers but does it so secretively that not even Rom knows who passed it to him. Again that is just Garak's training and experience alike which make covering his tracks wherever possible reflexive and the instincts of a Cardassian citizen (or anyone else who has lived under a police state) are no doubt make sure there is no evidence which could implicate him.

The background story about the glorious revolution of the exploited and oppressed - I really enjoyed this story, the cultural differences between Cardassian and human society which Garak stresses so cleverly, his way of helping Rom in his own inimitable way in order to fulfill his own goal... Rom - you have made him as touching as he was in the series, resignedly accepting his fate until he got information on how to take his life into his own hands. Excellent!
