Plot

Sisko, Odo, Kira, Bashir, Quark, and Jadzia Dax (and possibly others) set out from Deep Space Nine in the ''Defiant'' to complete a mission. During this mission, Odo develops an apparently inexplicable fascination with the Omarion Nebula. Later, Jem'Hadar attack and board the ''Defiant''.
While the ''Defiant'' is under attack, Odo and Kira escape in a small vessel. Cinematographically, the audience learns of this fact at the same time Kira does: Kira was unconscious, and when Odo informs her of the escape when she awakens, he is in effect informing the audience, as well. During the same scene, Odo informs Kira that he is currently seeking the Omarion Nebula. She is dismayed, claiming she did not consent to being placed in her current situation. Using the vessel's sensors, Odo detects a rogue class-M planet. Odo resolves to land on the planet. There, Odo and Kira encounter a group of shapeshifters.
