Synopsis

Several months after the events of A Call to Arms, the Federation-Klingon alliance is badly losing the Dominion War. After hearing news that the Seventh Fleet was decimated, Captain Benjamin Sisko and his command crew are assigned to pilot a captured Jem'Hadar attack ship into Dominion/Cardassian territory and destroy a valuable stockpile of Ketracel White. This would kill many of the Dominion's Jem'Hadar foot soldiers. The Federation hopes that this strike would stem the tide of the war.

The crew encounter several setbacks. First, the navigational eyepieces used on the Jem'Hadar vessel induce nausea among humans who use them, including Captain Sisko. Elim Garak notes that Dukat was previously seen using such an eyepiece without apparent ill effects, and so volunteers to wear the eyepiece and be the crew's "eyes and ears" in space.

In a second incident, Sisko's ship is fired upon by the USS "Centaur", which is unaware that Sisko's ship is staffed by fellow Federation officers. Both ships escape but the danger is not over yet: the Starfleet officers are now deep behind enemy lines. They accomplish their mission but the ship's warp engines are heavily damaged. It will take them seventeen years to get back to Federation territory at the speeds they can manage... if they even survive.
