Bashir and O'Brien have concluded a bio-survey in the Gamma Quadrant. They pick up a subspace magneton pulse. While investigating, the shuttle crash lands and they are taken prisoner by a renegade group of Jem'Hadar. Its leader, Goran'Agar, got free of his addiction to ketracel white on this planet, the drug that makes them dependent on the Founders. He's brought a group of Jem'Hadar to be cured too, but the planet's 'magic' doesn't work on them. He asks Bashir to help before their supply of white runs out. While the doctor wants to help them, O'Brien is adamantly opposed. Meanwhile, back on the Deep Space Nine station, Worf spots a known criminal in Quark's bar. He thinks the Ferengi is plotting something and is getting increasingly agitated by the way Odo handles security on the station. Worf decides to take matters into his own hands. Written by Arnoud Tiele (imdb@tiele.nl)
The Jen'Hadar kidnap O'Brien and Bashir. They never intended to go to that planet nor did they have an obligation to an organization who lives for the blood of anyone they encounter. They are a warrior race. Bashir and O'Brien would normally have been disintegrated immediately if they didn't provide something of value to these guys. Perhaps the Jen'Hadar should have sought out scientific help from some friendly (to them) agency. Some seem to think that Bashir has a moral duty to give up his life to save another one. Nowhere in the Hippocratic Oath is a doctor expected to do such a thing. We knew what the fate of the Federation men would be right from the start. Yes, O'Brien is a bit of a macho man, but he has a family and a pact with the Federation. If reality were consistent in this series, Bashir would have been dead numerous episodes ago. He is strictly emotional and others manage to save him time after time.
