A Klingon ship comes through the worm hole months ahead of schedule and explodes. One Klingon makes it to DS9 but dies shortly after transport. Then a power struggle starts to happen. Major Kira starts thinking that DS9 should be run by Bajorans and tries to get Cmdr. Sisko killed, while Chief O'Brien fights tries to stop her. Eventually Odo figures out that the power struggle is from an external influence and it also happened on the Klingon ship. He is able to convince Doctor Bashir that if he could stop this influence that his side would win, but in reality he uses it to neutralize both sides.
