He refuses to say anything more except to ask O’Brien to allow him to die with honor.Ī larger ship with ion signatures similar to Tosk’s emerges from the wormhole, and the ship’s crew forces their way onto DS9. In the station’s equivalent of a brig, O’Brien and Sisko press Tosk to tell them why he wanted weapons, but Tosk staunchly informs them that he cannot speak of it. Later, Tosk attempts to do access a weapons locker, and Odo captures him using forcefields.

O’Brien clearly develops a feeling of friendship for Tosk and stands up for him to Sisko, but Sisko does ask Odo to keep an eye on Tosk. Tosk seems puzzled by the amount of “downtime” the station inhabitants seem to enjoy. While technicians repair Tosk’s ship, O’Brien attempts to introduce him to Federation and Starfleet customs, including taking him to Quark’s bar. O’Brien escorts him to his temporary quarters, and upon O’Brien’s departure, Tosk asks the computer for the location of the station’s weapons. He and O’Brien discuss the ship, and as it turns out, repairs will take some time. The alien introduces himself as Tosk, though he does not make a distinction as to whether that is his name or species. The pilot fades into view behind him, startling O’Brien. He nervously goes to work, explaining to the unknown pilot that he plans to repair the ship. O’Brien enters the ship but finds no pilot, though the computer informs him that the pilot is still present.

Sisko orders him to investigate not only what repairs the ship might need but also to find out why their guest seems so skittish. O’Brien uses a tractor beam to tow the ship into a docking bay. Commander Sisko orders that the ship be hailed, but despite the imminent danger that the ship will explode, the reptilian-appearing pilot seems unusually suspicious. The wormhole opens unexpectedly, and a damaged ship emerges. Between them, they strike a perfect balance between respecting a foreign culture and setting boundaries for themselves. Navigating different cultural mores requires a deft hand, and both O’Brien and Sisko demonstrate exactly the right skill-set for it here. However, “Captive Pursuit” gets it absolutely right, and it does so in such a way that could only occur on Deep Space Nine. The Prime Directive is a tough concept, and Trek’s often contradictory handling of it doesn’t help. “ Captive Pursuit” is an episode I remember quite well, but I doubt preteen me quite grasped the nuances in this episode.
