Plot

A terrorist attack by the Bajorans on a Federation outpost prompts Admiral Kennelly to send the Enterprise to aid the Cardassians from stopping the terrorist attacks. The Bajorans lost their homeworld to the Cardassians and the terrorist attacks, led by Orta, until now had been confined to Cardas- sian locales. Solarian 4, a Federation outpost in a nearby star system was attacked by a ship claiming to be a Bajoran ship shortly after the Federa- tion and the Cardassians signed a treaty. Admiral Kennely asks Picard to locate the terrorist's base and to bring their leader to the Cardassian system so that peace between the two people's may be arranged. Admiral Kennely orders Picard to take onboard ship an ensign with a less than honorable past. Ensign Ro had been involved in an incident where she was responsible for the death of a landing party, courtmartialed and impri- soned in the stockade. Admiral Kennelly had her released because she is Bajoran and might be of help on the mission. But Ensign Ro has her own orders and may be part of a Federation conspiracy.

Goofs

  • When Ensign Ro takes off her jacket, her communicator is on her jacket. However, when she hands the jacket to the little girl, her communicator jumps to her uniform, with no action of putting the communicator there.
  • Then, when Ro talks with the girl, we sometimes se shots taken from behind the girl, sometimes from behind Ro. On the shots taken from behind the girl, Ro is less crouched, I mean that her head is much higher compared to when she is filmed from behind her.
