45. Tribunal

Summary

O'Brien is off for a much-needed vacation with his wife Keiko. On the way to the airlock, he talks to an old friend, Raymond Boone, who was with him at Setlik III. Later, the runabout carrying Miles and Keiko is boarded by Cardassians, who arrest O'Brien and take him to Cardassia Prime for trial. Odo acts as O'Brien's nestor, while the others investigate. They eventually learn that O'Brien is accused of running weapons to the Maquis, and that Boone actually stole the weapons using O'Brien's recorded voice. When Sisko brings Boone (an altered Cardassian) to the courtroom, Makbar releases O'Brien rather than let Central Command's plot to embarrass Starfleet become public.
