In 2373, Tain was able to send a coded message to Deep Space 9, which was analysed by Elim Garak. Captain Benjamin Sisko later assigned Worf to take Garak into the Gamma Quadrant to try and rescue Tain and any other prisoners they would find. Worf and Garak later stumbled upon a Jem'Hadar fleet in a toh-maire nebula and were imprisoned in the camp. They encountered General Martok, a dying Tain and Julian Bashir, who had been captured and replaced by a Changeling. (DS9 episode: "In Purgatory's Shadow")
