The week-long national syndication window opens for the 14th episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Brian Keith guest stars.
Stardate 46844.3: With the aid of the station crew, the Bajoran provisional government prepares to convert a moon into part of a power system needed to help Bajor overcome the damage caused by decades of Cardassian rule. On a final inspection flyover of the moon, Kira and Dax detect humanoid life on the suface. Kira beams down and finds stubborn old Mullibok, who has been living on the moon almost since the Cardassians arrived to take over Bajor. Mullibok and his two neighbors rendered mute by Cardassian torture years ago refuse to leave the moon, even when Kira warns that the conversion of the moon into a power facility will kill all life there. But when Kira begins the first steps of the provisional government’s orders to remove the settlers by force, she finds herself sympathetic with Mullibok’s plight and joins in their fight to stay until the imminent end.
