While playing out a secret agent mission in the holosuite, Bashir is interrupted by Garak, who tags along for the excitement. Meanwhile, disaster on the Runabout Orinoco leaves Sisko, Kira, Dax, O'Brien, and Worf, caught in the transporter beam. The rest of the Ops crew are able to save their stranded compatriots by placing their pattern information in the ship's computer. Unfortunately, the computer decides that the best place to store their patterns is in the holosuite and Bashir and Garak find themselves trying to save the villains in their secret agent tale.

When the Cardassian occupation of Bajor ended in 2369, the mining space station Terok Nor was left abandoned, its systems ripped out. By invitation of the Bajoran provisional government, Starfleet stepped in to oversee the rebuilding and day-to-day operations of the newly christened Deep Space Nine.
The years of Starfleet's nonintervention into Cardassian matters, however, had taken its toll on relations with the Bajorans. Consequently, Starfleet's position was a tenuous one; many Bajorans, suspicious and hostile as a result of decades of Cardassian oppression and brutality, did not greet the Federation's presence with open arms. The Federation's assistance is put to the test as DS9 becomes a center of travel and commerce that stretches into the Gamma Quadrant.
