Background information

• "Urgent Matter" takes place after "What You Leave Behind".
• The author commented: “As I watched Odo say good-bye and join the Great Link, I started thinking of how he and Kira could be together again. I knew that it couldn't be a quick and easy reunion, and I remembered how Barclay recreated the crew of Enterprise to spend time with them”. (Voyages of Imagination)
