139. Honor Among Thieves

Summary

O'Brien is on an undercover mission for Starfleet Intelligence, on Farius Prime. His job is to infiltrate the Orion Syndicate in order to learn the identity of their contact in Starfleet. O'Brien gets himself into the good graces of a man named Bilby who believes O'Brien's cover story and treats him as a friend. 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. Bilby is to be the trigger man. O'Brien reveals himself to Bilby, warning that it's a trap; but Bilby goes to his death rather than put his family in danger from the Syndicate.
