O'Brien is on an undercover mission for Starfleet Intelligence on Farius Prime. His job is to infiltrate the Orion Syndicate, the Alpha Quadrant's leading organized crime ring, in order to learn the identity of their contact in Starfleet. O'Brien gets himself into the good graces of a man named Bilby. Eventually, O'Brien is able to identify the traitor, but also learns that the Orion Syndicate is working with the Dominion to assassinate the Klingon ambassador to Farius. With Bilby slated to be the trigger man, O'Brien must betray either Starfleet or his friend.
