No stardate given: Bashir is indulging in a holosuite program in
which he is a glamorous British superspy on 1960's
Earth, when he is joined by an uninvited guest -
Garak. Meanwhile, the Runabout Orinoco is returning from a conference,
with Sisko, Kira, Dax, Worf, and O'Brien aboard, when it explodes due to
sabotage. The Ops transporter is damaged while
beaming them off, but Odo and Eddington manage to store the
patterns...in Bashir's holo- program, it turns out,
where Bashir is startled to find the characters
replaced by the images of the missing officers. While
Eddington, Odo, and Rom figure out how to reintegrate
their physical and neural patterns, Bashir must make
sure the holosuite computer doesn't kill them off as
part of his fantasy.
