Summary

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "Improbable Cause," what do you get when you cross Garak’s shop with an explosive device? What do you get when you cross a Flaxian assassin and a top secret military operation? What do you get when you cross the former head of the Obsidian Order with one of his brightest agents?
