Chapter 1/Starfleet says

(DS9, Ops Center)

Captain Ro is standing at the steps watching her crew get the job done of preparing the entire fleet for battle and the station for a possible Der'kal attack when Captain Tyson comes up the Lift.

I got a message from the Bajoran government Typhuss was spotted at a Vedek temple and then was jumped by three Bajorans that were abused by the Cardassians during the war in 2356 John says as he looks at Ro.

She looks at him.

We can't do anything for him while we're preparing for the big fight we'll have to look for him later John, I understand that he's your friend but we're about to go into the biggest fight of our lives and right now I need every single figure headed officer for the coming battle Ro says as she looks at John.

He nods at her.

(Bajor, Unknown area)

Typhuss wakes up without a shirt on as the hooded figure sits at his bed side with a root formula to clean the wound.

Hold still this will cause you a great deal of pain the figure says as she puts the stuff on the knife wound.
