With [[Federation]]/[[Dominion]] peace negotiations in the background, the revelation in [[Dr. Bashir I Presume? (DS9 episode)|Dr. Bashir I Presume?]] that [[Julian Bashir|Bashir]] is a [[Augment (Star Trek)|genetically augmented human]] allows him to be open about his wish to help less fortunate augments with their problems. He is introduced to four augments who, due to unintended side effects, are unable to function in society. Parents who allow their children to be genetically manipulated attempt to keep the procedure secret: it's illegal, and augmented human beings are prohibited from joining most professions and may not join [[Starfleet]]. However, the problems developed by these four augments forced their parents to seek medical help for them. The four have been institutionalized for most of their lives, and as such are very close to each other, but mistrust outsiders, even their own doctor, Dr. Loews ([[Jeanna Arnette]]). The four augments are:

Jack ([[Tim Ransom]]) - Jack is a male in his thirties, perhaps a little older than Bashir. His mental and physical abilities are both near the top of the [[Bell Curve]]. However, his great abilities are matched by extreme anxiety, which often manifests itself as [[paranoia]], assertiveness and physical agressionaggression. He generally feels superior to other people, and as a result has little [[empathy]] for the suffering he causes. Because of his proactive nature, he generally feels himself to be the leader of his group of compatriots.

Lauren ([[Hilary Sheppard]]) - Lauren is an attractive female, also in her early thirties. She is extremely intellectually developed and quite engaging. However, she is prone to sexual misbehavior, which often manifests itself as her being sure almost all men madly in love with her.
