Julian Bashir falls in love with a new officer from a low gravity environment and is determined to find a way to help her adapt.
Summary
Julian Bashir and Jadzia Dax are preparing for a new member of the crew—Melora Pazlar, an Elaysian whose people live on a low gravity world which leaves them unable to walk in normal gravity locations. Bashir equips Pazlar with a wheelchair initially but as he grows to know Melora he attempts to find a medical route to help her walk.
