Stardate not given: While Deep Space 9 is expecting a shipment of industrial replicators for Cardassia, a security inspection reveals that Kasidy Yates, Benjamin Sisko's love interest, may be working for the Maquis. The Defiant secretly pursues Kasidy's freighter Xhosa into the Badlands where it meets with a Maquis ship. When Kasidy is leaving Deep Space 9 for another rendezvous with the Maquis, Sisko is on her heels again, this time to apprehend everyone involved. But the second rendezvous is just a ruse. Back on the station Commander Eddington, who is working for the Maquis, overwhelms Kira, transfers the replicators to a Vulcan freighter and escapes. While Ben has the sad duty to arrest Kasidy, he vows to hunt the traitor Eddington.
