Stardate not given: On a supply mission to AR-558 near the Chin'toka system Sisko beams down and finds only one third of the original Starfleet team alive. They are securing a Dominion communications array. He decides to stay with an away team as a reinforcement for the war-weary troops. On a reconnaissance mission to the Jem'Hadar camp, Nog is severely hurt, and Bashir has to amputate his leg. In the meantime, Ezri and engineer Kellin have found a way to disable Dominion anti-personnel mines that hide in subspace and use them against the Jem'Hadar. With most of them killed by the mines, Starfleet fights a fierce battle against the remaining Jem'Hadar and eventually wins, but takes heavy losses too.
