However, she does not recognize Sisko's claim to Salvage rights for the ship and wants it back. Sisko agrees to meet Kilana, who is quite amicable in person. She offers to meet Sisko face to face with one guard each.

They are interrupted when Kilana, the Vorta in charge of the newly-arrived ship who contacts Sisko over the Dominion comm system. Among other things, there are two headsets – one for a Vorta and another for the Jem'Hadar First – which seem to be the Dominion equivalent of viewscreens. The crew explores the ship and find it minimalistic at best. O'Brien dresses Muniz's wound by ripping one of the sleeves of his uniform undershirt and using it as a bandage while they regroup and formulate a plan. Oddly, the Jem'Hadar do not follow the Starfleet team into the ship. There is a shootout in which another away team member, T'Lor, is killed and Sisko and the others take shelter inside the crashed ship, but Muniz is shot along the way. Immediately after the runabout's destruction, Jem'Hadar soldiers beam to the surface. Suddenly, Ensign Hoya contacts Sisko from the runabout and announces that another warship has just suddenly come out of warp within seconds, the runabout is destroyed over Torga IV killing Hoya, Rooney, and Bertram.

Meanwhile, Commander Worf informs Sisko that they have buried the bodies of the warship's crew, 42 Jem'Hadar and 1 Vorta field supervisor in all. Outside the Jem'Hadar vessel, Chief O'Brien tells Sisko he thinks they could get the ship out of the rock face by firing the main thrusters, but to do that, he'll have to calibrate the plasma injectors. An impatient Kira announces she is taking the Defiant to the Gamma Quadrant to retrieve Sisko and the others, and she will be back in a week. However, the Ferengi took the opportunity to smuggle illegal Regalian liquid crystals along with the spiders. Bashir intended to use the venom from the spiders to synthesize a drug to improve Major Kira's circulation. The trio enter Sisko's office, where Major Kira learns that Quark ordered a shipment of Regalian fleaspiders for Bashir without an import permit. Realizing the runabout's tractor beam will be insufficient to tow the ship, he sends for the USS Defiant to tow it back to the Alpha Quadrant.Īboard Deep Space 9, Odo has arrested Quark and his 'co-conspirator,' Dr. Although Sisko is excited about the discovery of the ship, he wonders what it was doing so far from Dominion space. O'Brien suspects an inertial damper failure, which means that when the ship sped up, every bone in the men's bodies was crushed instantly. Inside, they find numerous corpses, but according to Dax's tricorder, the troops have been dead for hours. The crew find that the warship has landed upside down and enter through a hatch that would normally be used to land troops. The away team, with their phaser rifles drawn, walk towards it. Sisko asks Ensign Hoya to have the runabout beam Sisko and the others to the site of the crash, where they discover a Jem'Hadar attack ship. He and Lieutenant Commander Dax are discussing the matter when a ship of some kind crashes on the planet's surface. Captain Sisko determines that, despite being a long way from supply lines, the planet is a good place to mine cormaline. They appear to be forming a close working relationship. Our mission is to determine the feasibility of establishing a mining operation on the planet's surface.'Īs the away team conducts their planetary survey, Chief O'Brien and young Crewman Muniz tease one another. We're conducting a mineral survey of Torga IV, an uninhabited planet in the Gamma Quadrant believed to contain vast deposits of cormaline. Summary Teaser ' Captain's log, Stardate 50049.3.
