Hostage situation
A Klingon bird-of-prey docks at DS9 so that a prisoner being
transported to Qo'Nos can receive medical attention. After an
escape attempt thwarted by Odo, shapeshifting into a Vulcan
Sehlat, Bashir examines the prisoner, but is overpowered and
held hostage in sickbay. Sisko resolves the situation when he
discovers that the Klingon captain set up the hostage
situation so that the prisoner would be killed.
