Stardate 49300.7: Bashir, Julian Bashir has invited Garak to play a secret agent program in the holosuite, when an emergency beam-out forces Commander Eddington to store the patterns of Sisko, Kira, Dax, Worf and O'Brien all over the station. Some of Bashir's holodeck characters take on the appearances of his fellow officers. Kira is now a Russian agent, O'Brien appears as a thug named Falcon, Worf aka Duchamps assists the villainous Dr. Noah, Dax plays the missing scientist Honey Bare, while Sisko is Dr. Noah himself. With the safety protocols offline and no chance to end the program without killing the crewmates, Bashir and Garak have to carry on playing. It is Noah's plan to shrink Earth's surface using laser cannons developed by Honey Bare. With everyone else drowning as the oceans flood the planet, Noah is going to build a new civilization on top of the Mount Everest. While Rom is working on the holodeck, Dr. Bashir gains the decisive seconds when he, to everyone's surprise, activates Dr. Noah's devilish system and destroys the planet. Sisko, Kira, Dax, Worf and O'Brien can be rematerialized on the transporter pad of the Defiant.
