Kira Nerys and Miles O'Brien used this to their advantage in 2370 when they infiltrated Cardassian space in a runabout disguised as the Lissepian transport Martuk. Cardassian Navigational Control Post 24 detected their runabout as the Lissepian transport, but the modifications showed up as an engine malfunction that got the attention of the Post. Kira was able to convince the commanding officer that they did not require assistance, and the runabout was able to continue on its mission to rescue Li Nalas from Cardassia IV.
