Stardate 52645.7: While Odo is staying in the infirmary at DS9, Kira leaves with Garak and Damar to continue the Cardassian resistance movement. Time is pressing to find a cure against the Founder's disease. Bashir lures Sloan to DS9, and he plans to use an illegal Romulan memory scanner to probe Sloan's mind. Sloan, however, commits suicide before Bashir can find out anything about the Founder's disease and a possible cure devised by Section 31. With 43 minutes left until Sloan's death, Bashir and O'Brien link themselves to his brain, and they are walking through a virtual environment resembling the corridors on the Defiant and DS9 and with a manifestation of Sloan, who attempts to stop them. They finally find a kind of office in which Sloan hides many secrets, among them the decisive information about the disease.
