Synopsis

After informing Starfleet of Odo's concerns about Gowron being a changeling, Sisko, O'Brien and Odo disguise themselves as Klingons, and accompanied by Worf journey to a fortress deep in the heart of the Klingon Empire. Assisted by Gul Dukat, whose captured Bird of Prey makes a useful transport, they seek to pose as valiant warriors due to be honored by Gowron long enough to trigger an experimental device that will expose the changeling.

Notes
