No stardate given: Kira leaves for a Cardassian outpost to
attend a conference, escorted by Gul Dukat, who,
after bringing his half-Bajoran daughter Ziyal home,
has been reduced to commanding a freighter. When they
arrive at the outpost, they find it destroyed by a Klingon
Bird of Prey, which
ignores Dukat's freighter. At Kira's suggestion,
Dukat adapts a disruptor from the outpost and goes
after the Klingons. When he succeeds in capturing the
Bird of Prey, Dukat has the choice of returning to
his old position - or striking out as a freedom
fighter against the Klingons.
