Profit and Loss
A Cardassian ship that is experiencing major problems with it's life support systems arrives at the space station. Natima Lanf, the leader of the three people aboard the space ship, is an old acquaintance of Quark. She explains that her two companions are her students. Quark tries to get close to Natima. She is hostile at first but eventually warms up to the point that she is at least interested in rekindling what they had seven years before.
Garak warns Commander Sisko that it wouldn't be wise to help the three Cardassians as they are wanted by the Cardassian high command. Sisko helps the fugitive Cardassians, despite the warning, until he finds out that the Bejorans government wants to turn them over to the Cardassians as part of a prisoner exchange.
