Stardate 47603.3: Detecting the
emissions of a matter/antimatter reactor from an
uncharted planet in the Gamma Quadrant, Dax and Odo beam down into a village whose simple
inhabitants have been disappearing without a trace or
any kind of explanation. At first the visitors from
the Runabout are prime suspects, but once they prove
that they have nothing to do with the series of
disappearances, Dax and Odo are entrusted with the
task of finding the guilty party. However, someone
else in the village already knows the answer to the
puzzle - the one person who is guaranteed not to
vanish.
