Mission
Act 1
The crew has split up into three different groups. Commodore Oddas, Commander Falt and Lt.Commander Williams meets with the Prime Bekanar'Klan in order to understand the real needs of the group. Commander DeVeau and Liuetenant Vahin are welcomed by Lat'ika, a Jem'Hadar doctor, and are inspecting the medical facilities of the village. Meanwhile Lt.Commander Kettick, Lieutenant Drex and Ensign Tanner are visiting the engineering facilities with Nomot, a Jem'Hadar engineer.
- Administrative facilities -
Oddas, Falt and Williams beam down to met Bekanar'Klan, the Prime of the Colony. They are informed of some problems affecting the crops, so Williams moves to collect sample of soil in the area. He discovers a buried huge object and asks Oddas and Falt to reach him to show his discoveries and interrogate the Prime about it.
On the way to the field, Lukin Zorkal , a Cardassian Ambassador, joins the group and starts a private conversation with Commodore Oddas about the Jem'Hadar presence on the Ring.
Meanwhile, Bekanar'Klan explains they do not know much about the alien object, but since it seems harmless, he gave order to bury it.
- Medical facilities -
Vahin and DeVeau meet with a Jem'Hadar doctor, Lat'ika, who shows them around the medical facilities. Though the officers offer help, Lat'ika seems hesitant at first. When asking about a closed door they passed, they find out it's the nursery and they will be allowed to see the young ones as they emerge. Vahin requests the ability to scan members of the settlement in order to learn more about Jem'Hadar physiology and he gains permission. When they children come into the infirmary, he asks if he can scan them as well and is allowed to do so.
They discover one of the four children, Ubroni, doesn't have the genetic mutuation that renders ketracel-white unecessary. Concerned by this, they resolve to see if they can find out what's preventing the mutation. DeVeau suggests they bring in Doctor Kherys Harper while she checks in with Oddas, and she leaves the other two officers to continue to brainstorm how to solve the problem.
- Engineering facilities -
Accompanied by a Jem'Hadar technician, Kettick, Drex and Tanner visit the colony's main reactor. The former soldiers have dismantled an engine from one of their ships and adapted it to power all the colony's facilities. Beneath the floor where it rests is a large room, the work of the former inhabitants of the biotope. As the four men descend to inspect the bunker, they find themselves suddenly trapped when the entrance hatch unexpectedly closes.
They have a few hours before the oxygen concentration drops to insufficient levels and the two engineers decide to send a pulse signal through the distribution pipes. While Tanner works on the conduits, Drex analyses the inscriptions found by Kettick, but accidentally triggers something that opens a trap door and the Denobulan falls into a new underground chamber.
After sending out the sos message, Kettick and Tanner decides to leave Nomot in the upper room to wait for the rescue team, and explore the underground space found by Drex. The room is dark but they discover a strange pillar.
- USS Eagle -
Lieutenant JG Porus arrives at the USS Eagle in search of Lt. Commander Alexander Williams, whose life he has sworn to protect. When he meets Commander Diata, who has command of the bridge while Oddas and Falt are at the settlement, who has no idea who Williams, he angrily demands she finds out. Instead, she pulls rank and chastises him, declaring she will make a note on his record, orders him to take the tactical station. A Cardassian ship arrives and Ambassador Lukin Zorkal wishes to see the Commodore, then finding out she is down at the settlement, says he will find her personally. Diata and Porus keep a close watch on the Cardassian ship as the Ambassador beams down to the settlement.
Act 2
- Fields -
Interested in seeing the colony for himself, the Prime begins a tour and Lt. Commander Alexander Williams joins them. They view the fields and discover that large dragonlike beasts prey upon the bovine creatures the Jem'Hadar raise for food which is why there is a tower with canons located nearby. As they talk, some of the beasts appear and head for the herd, but there are no guards because they are on the other side of the colony. Surprising both of the others, Zorkal takes initiative to work the canons and protect the Jem'Hadar's herd and Williams also agrees to help. Inside the tower are three terminals, each requiring a person to work, and all three are required for the entire system to function properly. They down one, but the second one shot down lands on some sort of wire that cuts off the power to Williams' terminal.
Meanwhile Commodore Oddas and Gunnery Sergeant Hesan decide to study the misterious object discovered in the fields. With the help of two Jem'hadars they dig the dirt around it and brings the surface to light. The tricorder is unable to scan the object, but Oddas can sense some kind of energy field surrounding it. With the resources available in the field, Hesan builds a device capable of breaching the barrier and detecting an energy signal that does not belong to the Dominion. They also discovered a hdden hatch that will allow them to access the interior.

Ensign Kherys Harper joins Lat'ika and Doctor Vahin to try and figure out a solution to the problem. Vahin insists they can't use gene therapy and looks for another reason as to why the mutation is missing some of the children. They check out the nursery, but find nothing wrong with any of the chambers. When Lat'ika tells them that only he, the Prime, and another Jem'Hadar by the name of Zirik’mal are the only ones who have access, Vahin asks to visit with him. The group heads out and approach a house, but only find Jem'Hadar blood inside. Concerned, Harper asks where Zirik'mal was last scene and where he was supposed to be at that time. Lat'ika has no answers from Harper and they decide to return to the medical facilities and run some test to identify the owner of the blood. On the way back, Ubroni notice an anomaly in the reading of his tricorder and Vahin identify it as the same anomaly they registered few days earlier, in the nursery. The test on the blood sample does not identify the wounded Jem'Hadar and as Harper decides to return on board and she is beamed up, missing Zirik'mal walked in the infirmary. He does not show much of a interest in the blood, but accept to inform the Prime. He leaves the building for a few minutes and when he returns he pretends Ubroni to go with him. The kids refuses and asks Doctor Vahin to heal him. Lat'ika tries to convince Ubroni to follow Zirik'mal, but something in the attitude of the old Jem'hadar makes him to concern about him, and when the Prime fires an alert for aapossible Changeling Intruder, Lat'ika decides to call Bekanar'Klan and inform him about the unidentified blood.

The three Star Fleet officer discover that generating a impulse at a specific frequency triggers the door to access the pillar. Unfortately the door closes as soon as they stepped inside the large control room in the pillar. They try to find a way out and Drex tell the others about the room he visited in Denali. They try to find a button on the console that may open the door, but the symbols are different from those they are used to and nothing they do seems to work. When Kettick push a duck/rabbit button the main visor turns on, revealing the room outside. Tanner try to revert the impulse in the hope to obtain a reaction from the door, but it is not until Nomot and Commander Falt reach the underground room and the pillar that the structure starts to respond. An audio channel opens throw the door and Tanner explains Falt how to create the impulse with his tricorder. The trick works and the officers are finally free. The exit the control room but Drex notices the outer room has changed. The walls moved and the hatch he had felt from is now hidden and unreachable.
Drex suggests to follow the path the walls are now drawing, but both Kettick and Falt refuse the idea. Tanner fires the impulse to the wall, but nothing happens until he moves to the corner.
- USS Eagle-Science Lab -
Alora joins Sofia Falt on the ship to help her find out what is causing the crops to fail. When a scan doesn't narrow down possibilities enough. The two talk about Tomas as they work, but then Sofia finds something that indicates the problem isn't naturally occurring.
- USS Eagle-Bridge -
Ensign Kenzie West arrives and joins as a brand new officer straight from the Academy. Diata puts her on coms, and as the trio continue to monitor, Diata notices a strange signal. West points out a signal originates from the planet, while Williams notes the Cardassian ship has transmitted a message, but Diata finds another and can not determine the origin.
