Stardate not given: General Martok assumes command of the Bird-of-Prey Rotarran. He takes Worf and Jadzia on a mission to search and rescue a missing Klingon ship, the B'Moth. But the crew of the Rotarran is war-weary, and Martok's attitude to evade confrontations with the Jem'Hadar only aggravates the depressive mood aboard the Rotarran. When they locate the B'Moth, Martok refuses to enter Cardassian space to save the survivors. Worf challenges Martok to a fight. He allows Martok to defeat him just when he notices that the crew's warrior spirit has been reawakened and a Jem'Hadar vessel is approaching. The Rotarran destroys the enemy ship and rescues 35 crew members from the B'Moth. Martok, grateful for what the son of Mogh has done for him, accepts Worf's entry into the house of Martok.
