No stardate given: Bajor's new
First Minister - Shakaar, Kira's old friend and the head of her former
resistance cell - arrives on the station for
negotiations with Federation delegates concerning
speeding up Bajor's admission. No sooner is Shakaar
aboard than there are threats on his life, and Odo must guard him around the clock, a task
made especially difficult when Shakaar and Kira start
getting close...very close. Odo, who is himself
secretly in love with Kira, is caught up in emotional
turmoil that starts to affect his ability to do his
job, to the point of endangering Kira's and Shakaar's
lives.
