Major Kira and the ambitious Kai Winn have never seen eye to eye, but when Cardassian renegades invade Deep Space Nine, determined to capture one of the sacred Orbs of the Prophets, the two women must work together to preserve both the Orb and the safety of everyone aboard the station. Captain Sisko and the crew of the Defiant cannot come to Kira's aid; they are too busy teaching an entire world how to fight back against a vicious invasion - even if it means breaking the Prime Directive!

Individual preparedness is an important element of our nation?s strategy for homeland security. This report provides a rigorous way to identify actions individuals can take to protect their health and safety. The authors detail a prospective individual?s strategy across four types of terrorist attacks-chemical, radiological, nuclear, and biological-consisting of overarching goals and simple responses and preparations. The actions are designed to be sensitive to potential variations and defined in terms of simple rules that should be easy for individuals to adopt.
