Under the terms of the Federation-Cardassian Armistice of 2367, Zelar is requesting Starfleet assistance in removing Bajoran personnel from a mining facility scheduled for demolition. With ion storms in the upper atmosphere, communications unreliable and automated demolition looming, the crew has a short window to get the miners out safely.
