On Athos IV, Eddington and Sisko ambush a few Jem'Hadar guards to delve deeper into the base, where they discover the bodies of Maquis littering the compound. Eddington blames himself for their deaths, while Sisko admits that the Federation could also have more to stop the bloodshed. Eddington then leads them to a hiding spot containing a group of Maquis survivors, including Eddington's wife, Rebecca. Eddington reveals that the torpedoes never existed, and the message was a ploy to get Starfleet to bring Eddington to the meeting point. The Jem'Hadar weren't part of the plan. Another wave of attackers arrives, and Eddington gets hit. He stays behind to cover the retreat of Sisko and his comrades, dying in a hail of phaser fire.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Even months after his arrest, Eddington still appears convinced that he was right to join the Maquis and Sisko only kept trying to catch them because their existence is a blemish on his record while ignoring Sisko's observation that the Maquis' actions drove the Cardassians to make their new alliance with the Dominion, which fundamentally says more about Eddington's views than it does about Sisko's feelings.
