Sisko immediately asks where Jake is, implying Dukat may have done something to him. Later, they abduct him in the habitat ring as he goes to his quarters.Īrriving at his quarters that evening, Sisko finds Gul Dukat waiting for him. However, Sakonna and the saboteur were observed from above by a Pelian couple. Introducing herself as Sakonna, she insists it should be a private meeting, so they plan to meet later for dinner. He assumes it's due to an earlier bad deal he made with the Vulcans, but, when she assures him that's not the case, he's immediately excited. The Vulcan then visits Quark to offer him a business proposition. Pretending to read a directory sign, the Vulcan whispers that he has quarters while a ship arrives for him to escape. Meanwhile, a covert meeting takes place between the saboteur and a Vulcan on the Promenade. Contrary to Starfleet's belief, Hudson is sure the Cardassians will not retaliate, but he guarantees a response will come, since the Cardassians never show anyone what they are really planning. He believes the Federation is abandoning them due to a bad treaty, clearly in disagreement.

He admits his belief that his presence on the border is a joke his assignment has been to help colonists, whose land the Federation gave to Cardassia, adjust to the new circumstances. He briefly catches up with Sisko, but the gravity of the situation comes back. After a few introductions, they talk in Sisko's office. O'Brien supports the theory by stating that a protomatter device attached to the Bok'Nor's crossfeeds could have caused an undetectable explosion, but is forced to inform Sisko that he needs to perform a high resolution spectra of the debris to be sure.Ĭommander Calvin Hudson, the ranking officer and attaché in the Demilitarized Zone along the Cardassian border, arrives on the station to investigate the possibility of retaliatory attacks. Her belief is supported by the total lack of evidence of an on-board malfunction. Dax then expounds her belief that the explosion was an implosive protomatter device attached to the Bok'Nor's impulse engines, based upon a sudden increase in the vessel’s fusion rate she detected just prior to the explosion.

Odo asks if mercassium is an explosive but Sisko tells him it’s a synthetic composite used in shield generator construction by the Federation, one they do not share with others. However, traces of mercassium are then found in the Bok'Nor's debris, which should not have been there at all. He then informs Sisko that there is no evidence of explosive devices, and cannot even help him assuage the Starfleet admirals who are pressing Sisko for answers by saying that it looks like an accident. Kira asks if there may have been a malfunction in the impulse generator, but O'Brien tells her it’s too soon to be sure. Kira and O'Brien subsequently investigate the incident in a runabout, and initially detect traces of kelindide and rhodinium, materials used in the construction of Cardassian vessels. Kira orders engineering personnel to report to rescue stations, but a stunned Dax informs her that there is nothing left of the freighter – and no one to rescue. Suddenly, the freighter explodes while leaving the station. She tells the Bok'Nor to shut down their engines. The docking clamps in upper Pylon 1 are released, but Dax picks up an anomaly. Kira expresses unease at dating someone with a transparent skull, through which she can see his brain, and the two have a brief verbal exchange over choice of dates and aesthetics. At Ops, Jadzia Dax tells Major Kira that she has a dinner date with the Gallamite Captain Boday. While a Cardassian freighter, the Bok'Nor, is docked at Deep Space 9, a Human posing as a Starfleet maintenance worker tampers with a nearby wall panel.
