On the eve of Dr. Bashir's departure for a conference on the Romulan
world, he's visited by Sloan, the director of Section 21, a secret and
unsanctioned extremist entity within Starfleet Intelligence. Sloan asks a
reluctant Bashir to gather information on the Romulan leadership. Bashir
reports the request to Sisko, who worries that although Starfleet Command has
officially condemned Section 31, someone in its membership may actually be
protecting the group. After consulting with Admiral Ross, Sisko advises Bashir
to play along with Sloan in order to determine Sloan's motivations.
