Admiral Harrison Baker orders the USS Thunderbird, to delay taking up its patrol route, and instead, rendezvous with Gul Zelar of the CDS Ocett in the Quasinon system. Under the terms of the Federation-Cardassian Armistice of 2367, Zelar is requesting Starfleet assistance in removing Bajoran personnel from a mining facility scheduled for demolition. With ion storms in the upper atmosphere, communications unreliable and automated demolition looming, the crew has a short window to get the miners out safely.
