Stardate not given: Despite the
fact that the Maquis have been decimated by the
Cardassian/Dominion alliance, a message to Eddington
is intercepted, saying that cloaked missiles have
been launched toward Cardassia. Hoping to prevent a
retaliatory war, Sisko appeals to the imprisoned Eddington to
help deactivate the missiles before they reach their
target. Promised freedom, Eddington agrees - but
warns Sisko that he intends to kill him once the
mission is over.
