Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Abandoned (Full Frame)

VHS, PARAMOUNT

Quark (Armin Shimerman) gets more than he bargained for when he buys the wreckage of a ship that crashed in the Gamma Quadrant and finds an alien infant hidden inside. When Bashir (Siddig El Fadil) examines the child, he notices an accelerated metabolic rate. Within hours the infant appears to be at least eight years old and exhibits superior language and cognitive reasoning skills. Later, as the boy evolves even more rapidly, he becomes violent and aggressive, and it is discovered that he is an infant Jem'Hadar. Sisko (Avery Brooks) plans to send the boy to Starfleet for further study, but Odo (Rene Auberjonois) objects, and risks everything to save him.
