The Rundown: Sisko confronts the Cardassians while Scotty and Crusher discovers something disturbing about the Tzenkethi home planet.
Sisko is rushed to sickbay after being attacked by the Romulan commander. As his injuries heal, the situation becomes worse on the border when the Cardassians decide to deploy their fleet in the wake of news that the Tzenkethi are preparing to launch their fleet.
After confronting Damar, Sisko finds the situation becoming worse. Crusher and Scotty discover something dangerous about the planet while Kim continues his mission to prevent a war.
The Story: Kelly and Lanzing raise the stakes and tension throughout the issue. The story has some great suspense throughout it and I like seeing the vulnerability of the characters and how they are working together to overcome. The dynamic between Harry and Sato is great and I look forward to seeing what happens with Crusher and Scotty’s mission.
The Art: To delivers some great art in the issue. The story is very character focused and I love the character designs and how expressive they are throughout the issue.
