Stardate 47581.2: After
returning from a briefing on security measures that
will be needed aboard DS9 for a
summit between leaders of warring factions of the
Paradans, O'Brien
feels that something strange is happening, though he
can't quite place a finger on what it could be.
Gradually, he discovers that everything he says and
does is being double-checked by Sisko and the crew. His own wife and daughter don't seem
comfortable around him, and even the most innocent
questions he asks are evaded by everyone. As the time
of the Paradan meeting draws near, O'Brien gets
desperate for answers - but everyone else on the
station seems intent on stopping him.
