Stardate Unknown To Worf's (Michael Dorn) surprise, he is paid a visit by Kor (John Colicos), an aging Klingon war hero. Kor admits that his ambition has earned him countless enemies, and that consequently he has been unable to secure the command of a ship. Worf promises to find him a military command, and approaches General Martok (J.G. Hertzler) with the request -- which is angrily refused. Martok explains that years earlier Kor had denied Martok officer status because he was descended from a common house. Undaunted, Worf appoints Kor as a third officer on the Ch'Tang, Martok's flagship, where he is treated with awe by the crew -- much to Martok's chagrin. |

Stardate Unknown While making a supply run to the front lines, on the barren planet AR-558, Sisko (Avery Brooks) encounters Starfleet troops that have been decimated during their five-month occupation of the largest Dominion communications array in the sector. If they can figure out how it works, Starfleet will be able to tap into Dominion transmissions. In addition to daily skirmishes with the enemy, the shell-shocked forces are constantly threatened by "Houdinis" -- anti-personnel mines that "hide" in subspace, then explode without warning. Determined to help commanding officer Nadia Larkin (Annette Helde) and her troops, Sisko stuns his crew by announcing that they're staying at the site indefinitely. |
