After barely surviving a trip through the wormhole, four humanoid aliens are beamed aboard the station. Though they are unable to communicate with the crew, Kira leads them to the infirmary where the Universal Translator begins to decipher their words. The leader, Haneek, explains that there are three million more Skrreean refugees waiting on the other side of the wormhole and they have claimed Bajor as their legendary homeland "Kentanna."
