Starfleet's greatest enemies
unite on STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE. DETAILED REPORT
As the station prepares
for a Dominion attack, the enemy fleet suddenly turns
toward Cardassian space. Gul Dukat breaks formation and
follows, apparently bent on taking on the enemy himself.
The Deep Space Nine crew worries for his safety, until he
reveals that he has spear headed negotiations resulting
in Cardassia's agreement to join the Dominion - with
Dukat as Cardassia's leader. In the Dominion Internment
Center, Worf, Martok, Bashir and Garak mastermind an
escape plan that will require Garak to spend hours in a
tiny crawl space reconfiguring a transmitter to beam them
back to their Runabout.
In the Internment Center,
Worf is forced to fight Jem'Hadar soldiers to prepare
them for their battle against the Klingons. While he
fights, Garak works on the transmitter, while other
prisoners stand guard. On Deep Space Nine, Sisko
convinces KlingonChancellor Gowron to reinstate their
treaty with the Federation in order to fight the Dominion
and Cardassians together. Meanwhile, the Bashir
Changeling slips away and into a Runabout.
Worf continues his
battles with various Jem'Hadar soldiers, but while he
keeps winning, he keeps getting weaker. Bashir warns him
to stop, but Worf is determined to fight to the death,
impressing General Martok with his deep sense of Klingon
honor. Garak, who suffers from intense claustrophobia,
panics in the crawl space and must be rescued. Meanwhile,
Dukat offers to spare the station if the Federation
agrees to join the Dominion. Sisko refuses, and Dukat
warns him that Deep Space Nine will be a target.
In the Internment Center,
Garak regains his bearings and reenters the crawl space
to finish his job. While Worf struggles through afight
with the head of the Jem'Hadar guards, a group of
soldiers arrive at the prisoners' barracks looking for
Garak. On Deep Space Nine, the combined Federation and
Klingon forces prepare to take on the Dominion. Even the
Romulans arrive to help. No one sees Bashir take off
alone in a Runabout - just as the Dominion fleet prepares
to enter Bajoran space.
Back at the Internment
Center, The Jem'Hadar guards discover Garak's crawl space
and head inside. The prisoners kill them, saving their
chances of escape. Meanwhile, Worf, near death, insists
on continuing he fight, even when Martok tells him to
stop. Impressed, his opponents yield, and the Vorta in
charge orders both combatants killed. But Worf
dematerializes and appears on their Runabout with the
rest of the Prisoners - Garak was successful. The real
Bashir sends a message to Deep Space Nine revealing the
theBashir they have been dealing with is a saboteur. They
locate the Bashir Changeling on the Runabout, heading
straight for the sun, which if it explodes, will destroy
the station and the entire fleet. Kira and Dax take off
after him and destroy the ship just in time. Sisko tells
his fleet of unlikely aliens that no attack is imminent -
at least not today.
Later, Garak, Worf,
Martok and the real Bashir return, and Martok is made
commander of the Klingon forces on Deep Space Nine. But
there is no time to celebrate. Gul Dukat sends a message
to Sisko indicating that the battle for the Alpha
Quadrant has just begun.
