| Summary: |
In the Gamma quadrant, Bashir and O'Brien respond to
what they believe is a ship in trouble on a remote planet. After crash-landing on the surface, they become prisoners of Jem'Hadar
soldiers. When they learn Bashir is a doctor, the leader, Goran'Agar, explains that he has been mysteriously cured of his addiction
to Ketracel-white, the substance the Founders genetically-engineered the Jem'Hadar to require for survival. Goran'Agar wants
Bashir to find the cure so that his soldiers can escape the Dominion's tyranny -- a task he must complete before their drug supply
runs out -- only five days. Bashir must decide if he is going to help the Jem'Hadar, or allow them to die, killing himself and O'Brien in
the process. |
