I’m detecting a vast gamma ray flux emerging from somewhere within the system. It must have spooked the Jem’Hadar fleet.

This doesn’t look good. Their vital signs are fluctuating rapidly. Jadzia’s isoboramine levels have dropped to 48%. If we don’t do something fast, we may need to remove the symbiont in order to save it.

That’s not going to happen on my watch! I need to administer 2 ccs of benzocyatizine to Jadzia in order to stabilize her isoboramine levels. But we don’t keep any stocked in the ship’s infirmary.

Orbital scans of the planet’s surface are detecting several fabricated structures clustered together throughout the southern hemisphere. We need to get closer to figure out exactly what they–

They must have spotted the Commander’s ship! Their long-range scanners are better than we anticipated.

Then it would be rude of us as guests not to reciprocate in kind. Commander, watch our flank. We need to clear a path through the Jem’Hadar wing before their reinforcements arrive.

Commander, there’s been some developments in our struggle with the Dominion. Starfleet has just received intel regarding the location of a Jem’Hadar hatchery near the entrance to the Wormhole.

According to our sources, the hatchery is located somewhere in the Rakan system, which is close to the Wormhole’s entrance on the Gamma Quadrant side.

As I’m sure you understand, the convenience and strategic benefits that this location provides to the Dominion is making Starfleet top brass very uncomfortable.

They’ve instructed my crew and I to covertly take the Defiant into the Gamma Quadrant in order to investigate and verify these claims.

I understand that you’re quite adept at covert operations. I was hoping that you might see fit to join us and provide backup if necessary.

Our chances at remaining undetected will be higher if both ships traverse the Wormhole separately. Meet us at the following coordinates in the Gamma Quadrant. Sisko out.

Now there’s a sight for sore eyes. Good to see you again, Commander. Always good to have someone at your back when you’re behind enemy lines. You’ve arrived just in time for the fun stuff.

Sensors are detecting a number of Jem’Hadar ships in orbit over Rakan III, a Class H planetoid initially thought to be mostly uninhabitable.

It would seem that the Dominion has seen fit to obscure their facilities in places that we would initially deem unsuitable. They’re hiding in plain sight… Our source may have been right after all.

Captain, if we can gather enough data from orbital scans of the hatchery without being detected, we may be able to begin understanding the reproductive cycle of the Jem’Hadar.

Let’s stay focused on the task at hand, if you’d be so kind. Take us in, slow and steady. We need sufficient evidence to confirm the presence of a Jem’Hadar hatchery on Rakan III.

Commander, I’m going to need to get the Captain and Jadzia under immediate medical supervision. It may take some time to assess the nature of their injuries. You should return home and get some rest.
