Timeline: Late 2386, one year after The Missing, which was set in November 2385 (though internal references may place it somewhat later) Progress: Doctor Pulaski is invited to Cardassia Prime to receive the Distinguished Impact Medal from the University of the Union for her work on the Andorian reproductive crisis, and she invites Peter Alden to join her on the trip. Once there they are greeted by Metok Efheny, who shows them around. Meanwhile, trouble is stirring for Castellan Garak. Assemblyperson Chenet has co-authored a war crimes report that could lead to prosecutions, if the full brunt of Cardassian’s new legal apparatus is brought to bear, for certain Legates and Guls (such as Legate Renel and Gul Telek). Naturally, the military is—pun intended—up in arms about this, but Garak is determined to fully bring to justice anyone found guilty of crimes during the Occupation. On a separate front, Doctor Elima Antok, who is one quarter Bajoran, and professionally an expert on how the Occupation affected life in the Cardassian Union, discovers evidence pertaining to something named Project Enigma, which strongly suggests that a dozen Cardassian-Bajoran children of Bajoran sex slaves underwent forcible gene therapy by Cardassian scientists to remove traces of their Bajoran heritage.
