Bashir was in one of his favorite holo-suite programs: living the exciting life of a suave, sophisticated British super spy in the 1960s, when an uninvited guest, Garak, joined him. Meanwhile, the runabout Orinoco explodes from sabotage with Sisko, Kira, Dax, Worf, and O'Brien on board. The Ops transporter is damaged in the process of beaming them off, but Odo and Eddington manage to store the patterns in Bashir's holo-program. Bashir is soon startled to find the characters replaced by the images of the missing officers. While Eddington, Odo, and Rom figure out how to reintegrate their physical and neural patterns, Bashir must make sure the holosuite computer doesn't kill them off as a part of his fantasy.
