Want to buy some self-sealing stem bolts?

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

The Bajoran government is planning to tap a nearby moon for energy and has evacuated the small population as the operation will make it uninhabitable. As Major Kira scans the surface she finds signs of life on the surface so beams down and discovers three people who are refusing to leave. As she gets to know the oldest of the three she grows to be sympathetic to his plight. When Bajoran security comes to take the group things go wrong and the man is wounded. Even so he refuses to leave and Kira insists on staying with him.

Meanwhile back on DS9 Quark is not pleased when his brother takes delivery of a large quantity of food which nobody except Cardassians like and not many Cardassians visit the station these days. Nog however sees it as a chance to make a profit, nobody on DS9 might want it but a ship heading to Cardassia might have something to trade for it and if that item has no obvious use they can always trade it to somebody who wants that.

While this episode wasn't packed with action it provided some good character development for Major Kira and the Jake/Rom subplot was better than most involving the station's two most commonly featured children. This episode also introduced the "self-sealing stem bolt" a piece of equipment that is mentioned several times throughout the series but who's use is never explained.
