A world-wide power outage leads Starfleet to believe that a Dominion attack is imminent and forces Admiral Leyton and Captain Sisko to request that President Jaresh-Inyo sign over command of Earth to Starfleet. Meanwhile, Odo finds electronic evidence that an elite Starfleet Academy cadet unit, dubbed Red Squad, was brought back to Starfleet Academy just after the power failure when all of Starfleet at the time was being mobilized. When a Starfleet Admiral tells Sisko to delete the evidence from the computer system, Sisko begins to question the actions of his superiors.
