Stardate 49195.5: A Trill
science team arrives on Deep Space 9 to conduct field tests on experimental
techniques for creating artificial wormholes. The
leader of the team is Dr. Lenara Kahn, a joined Trill
whose symbiont was once borne by the wife of one of Dax's former hosts, Torias. Trill society has
a strict taboo against "reassociation" with
past lovers, for which the penalty is exile - meaning
that both symbionts will die with their current
hosts. Therefore Dax and Lenara must be careful about
interacting...but despite their best efforts they
find themselves reawakening old emotional ties. What
will Dax risk in order to be with her former love?
