Stardate not given: Using a long-range transporter, Kira is kidnapped to Empok Nor where a community of Pah-wraith worshippers has settled, their charismatic leader being no one else but ex-Gul Dukat. He tries to convert Kira to have faith in the Pah-wraiths, but she is only disgusted. When it is discovered that the unborn child of his Bajoran follower Mika is half-Cardassian (with Dukat being the father, of course), Dukat claims that it is a miracle, but later attempts to kill Mika. Kira manages to escape from the room where she was locked up just in time to prevent the sect from committing suicide on Dukat's orders. Dukat himself, who never had the intention to die with them, escapes.
