A visitor to the station (Kroden) from the Gamma quadrant tries to rob Quark and twin Miradorn's who are trying to fence a valuable item. The robbery attempt is foiled by Odo who takes Kroden prisoner but not before one of the Miradorn is killed. While in custody, Kroden tells Odo that he's encountered other changelings in the Gamma quadrant and a strange necklace he wears may hold the key to Odo's past.
