Stardate 49263.5: The Defiant meets with a Karemma vessel for trade negotiations when two Jem'Hadar fighters attack. The Karemma ship hides in a gas giant. When the Defiant follows them, the Jem'Hadar attack again and cripple the Starfleet vessel. While Jadzia and Bashir are trapped on a deck filling with poisonous gas, O'Brien and his engineers manage to arm an atmospheric probe with a quantum torpedo charge. The Defiant is once again taking heavy damage until the attacking vessel can be destroyed. Sisko is seriously wounded, with only Kira taking care of him, while Worf is making his way down to engineering. Quark and the Karemma Hanok are in the mess hall when another torpedo penetrates the wall but doesn't go off. While the crew are working to destroy the remaining Jem'Hadar vessel using a decoy and the deflector as a phaser array, the two successfully disarm the weapon.
