Captain Sisko and Lieutenant Commander Dax infiltrate the "Enterprise" bridge to scan for the bomb, and confirm it is not on the "Enterprise". The rapid breeding of the tribbles makes searching for the bomb on "K7" impractical, so they opt to shadow Kirk. They overhear him discussing the tribble infestation, and deduce that the bomb is in the grain storage compartments. They enter the compartments and begin scanning the tribbles, many of which are dead from eating the poisoned grain. Captain Kirk opens the compartment and is covered in falling tribbles. Dax and Sisko find the bomb among the tribbles still in the compartment and the "Defiant" transports it into space, where it explodes. The crew of the "Defiant" use the Bajoran Orb to travel back to their time.
