Stardate 48498.4: Vedek Bareil
is severely injured in an accident aboard a Bajoran
transport ferrying him and Kai Winn to groundbreaking
peace negotiations with the Cardassians. Bareil dies,
but Bashir is
able to jump- start the Vedek's brain again, reviving
him with some very unconventional surgical
techniques. Winn needs Bareil's advice, as only he is
fully conversant with the treaty being discussed, but
the prospects of keeping Bareil alive without putting
him in stasis are not hopeful, and despite Bashir's
strictest protests Bareil will not rest or allow
himself to be put into stasis. As the peace talks
reach a critical stage, the only option left to keep
Bareil's knowledge of the treaty available will rob
him of his humanity and eventually his life.
