VaBeachGuy 12 Posted June 28, 2008 Empok Nor Empok Nor was sort of like Deep Space Nine's version of TNG's "Lower Decks". In this episode DS9 is experiencing problems with Cardassian equipment that can't be replicated. Chief O'Brien leads an away mission to the abandoned Cardassian space station named Empok Nor in order to salvage the equipment they need. His team includes Garak, who is taken in order to help foil any cardassian booby traps that may have been left behind. Cadet Nog is also on the team as well as 4 other members of Chief O'Briens engineering staff. When they arrive at Empok Nor Garak sets about securing the station of traps and restores power so the rest of the team can board the station. When power is restored it triggers 2 stasis tubes that were left behind when the Cardassians left. Inside the stasis tubes are Cadrassian soldiers that have been altered with massive amounts of a drug designed to make them more aggressive. The Cardassians begin killing members of the away team one by one and Garak, who has become infected by the same drug begins to hunt for the soldiers. The longer Garak is exposed to the mind altering drug the more aggressive he becomes until he finally turns on his friends and begins to hunt them as well as the rogue Cardassian soldiers. Garak captures Nog, the last living member of Chief O'Brien's away team and holds him captive in order to force O'Brien to try to save him.
