28. OK, Jake. We'll get your mom out
and we'll get out of here.Copy !req
29. - Commander!
- Help me!Copy !req
30. Jennifer, hold on.Copy !req
31. Sir!Copy !req
32. - Help me get her free!
- There's nothing we can do.Copy !req
33. We have to leave!Copy !req
34. Warning. Damage to warp core.
Containment failure in two minutes.Copy !req
35. Ensign, take the boy.Copy !req
36. - We've got to go now, sir.
- We just can't leave her here!Copy !req
37. Jake, you're OK.Copy !req

39. Jake, there you are.Copy !req
40. - How are they biting?
- Small fries. Threw them back.Copy !req
41. - Want to go for a swim?
- We have to get ready.Copy !req
42. It won't be so bad. I've heard
that Bajor is a beautiful world.Copy !req
43. Why can't we live on the planet
instead of some old space station?Copy !req
44. The station is in orbit of Bajor.
It will be just like shore duty.Copy !req
45. - Will there be kids there?
- Absolutely! Lots of kids.Copy !req
46. - Bridge to Sisko.
- Yes, Captain?Copy !req
47. We're approaching Deep Space 9,
Commander.Copy !req

We'll take the pond with us.Copy !req

53. Commence Station Log,
Deep Space 9.Copy !req
54. Commander Benjamin Sisko.
Stardate 46388.2.Copy !req
55. At the request of the Bajoran government,Copy !req
56. Starfleet is to establish a Federation
presence in this systemCopy !req
57. following the withdrawal
of the Cardassian forces.Copy !req
58. The first officers, including
Chief of Operations, Miles O'Brien,Copy !req
59. arrived two days ago on the Enterprise.Copy !req
60. The Cardassians had some fun
the day they left.Copy !req
61. Four Bajorans were killed
trying to protect their shops.Copy !req
62. Why hasn't anybody cleaned up?Copy !req
63. All available personnel
are repairing primary systems.Copy !req
64. The Cardassians took everything of value.Copy !req
65. We're virtually defenceless.Copy !req
66. I discussed this with Major Kira,Copy !req
67. the attaché of the Bajoran government...Copy !req
68. Understood.Copy !req
69. - What about the civilians?
- A lot of them lost everything they had.Copy !req
70. A few are trying to rebuild
but most are packing up to leave.Copy !req
71. Welcome, Commander.
Please enter.Copy !req
72. The Prophets await you.Copy !req
73. - Another time, perhaps.
- Another time.Copy !req
74. When my wife Keiko saw our quarters,Copy !req
75. she spoke about
visiting her mother in Kumamoto.Copy !req
76. I wouldn't let the boy go roaming.Copy !req
77. We're still having security problems.Copy !req
78. Dad, there is nothing to sleep on
except a cushion on the floor.Copy !req
79. We can get you a real bunk
off the Enterprise.Copy !req
80. Captain Picard wants to see you
as soon as possible.Copy !req
81. He does?Copy !req
82. Any word
on our science and medical officers?Copy !req
83. They're expected tomorrow.Copy !req
84. Jake, I want you to stay here
until I come back.Copy !req
85. Is this the food replicator?Copy !req
86. They're all off line.Copy !req
87. - There's plenty of emergency rations.
- Dad...Copy !req
88. We're going to have to rough it
until we get things up and running, OK?Copy !req
89. - OK.
- OK.Copy !req
90. What was the designer thinking about
when they built this place?Copy !req
91. I still haven't been able to find
an ODN access.Copy !req
92. That's the Prefect's office up there.Copy !req
93. All others have to look up with respect.
Cardassian architecture.Copy !req
94. Yes, sir. Major Kira's been using it.Copy !req
95. Is it my imagination
or is it unusually warm?Copy !req
96. The environmental controls in Ops
are stuck at 32C.Copy !req
97. We're working on it.Copy !req
98. I guess it's time to meet Major Kira.Copy !req
99. Sir, have you ever served
with Bajoran women?Copy !req
100. - No. Why?
- I was just wondering, sir.Copy !req
101. - They've become meaningless!
- I don't agree, Kira.Copy !req
102. You are throwing it all away.
All of you!Copy !req
103. - You're being a fool!
- Then don't ask my opinion next time!Copy !req
104. - Yes?
- I'm Benjamin Sisko.Copy !req
105. I suppose you want the office.Copy !req
106. I thought I'd say hello first
and then take the office,Copy !req
107. but we could do it the way you like.Copy !req
108. Hello.Copy !req
109. - Is something bothering you, Major?
- You don't want to ask me that.Copy !req
110. I have the habit of telling the truth
even when people don't want to hear it.Copy !req
111. Perhaps I want to hear it.Copy !req
112. The Federation
has no business being here.Copy !req
113. The provisional government disagrees.Copy !req
114. The government and l
don't agree on a lot of things,Copy !req
115. which is probably why they sent me
to this godforsaken place.Copy !req
116. I have been fighting
for Bajoran independenceCopy !req
117. since I could pick up a phaser.Copy !req
118. We drive the Cardassians out
and what do our new leaders do?Copy !req
119. They call up the Federation
and invite them in!Copy !req
120. - The Federation is only here to help...
- Yes, I know.Copy !req
121. The Cardassians
said the same thing 60 years ago.Copy !req
122. When I was ordered here, I requested
a Bajoran as my First Officer.Copy !req
123. It made sense.
It still does, at least to me.Copy !req
124. You and I will have to find some way to...Copy !req
125. - Yes, Major?
- Odo, are you reading something at A-14?Copy !req
126. My security array has been down
for two hours. I'll meet you there.Copy !req
127. We've had a lot of break-ins.Copy !req
128. No need for you to come along,
Commander.Copy !req
129. Hurry up!Copy !req
130. Now!Copy !req
131. Now!Copy !req
132. Just stand where you are!Copy !req
133. Hold it!Copy !req
134. - That's enough!
- Who the hell are you?Copy !req
135. Odo,
this is our new Starfleet Commander.Copy !req
136. I don't allow weapons on the Promenade.
That includes phasers.Copy !req
137. Nog? What's going on?Copy !req
138. The boy's in a lot of trouble.Copy !req
139. Commander, my name is Quark.Copy !req
140. I used to run
the local gambling establishment.Copy !req
141. This is my brother's boy.Copy !req
142. Surely you can see he has only
a peripheral involvement in this.Copy !req
143. We're scheduled to depart tomorrow.Copy !req
144. if we could take him,
I promise you he will be severely...Copy !req
145. That won't be possible.
Take him to the brig.Copy !req
146. Quark probably sent them here
to steal the ore samples.Copy !req
147. There's a Ferengi legal tradition
called plea bargaining.Copy !req
148. I might let the boy go,
but I want something from Mr Quark.Copy !req
149. Something very important.Copy !req
150. - O'Brien to Commander Sisko.
- Go ahead.Copy !req
151. Sir, the Enterprise hailed us again.
Captain Picard is waiting to see you.Copy !req
152. Acknowledged.
This won't take long.Copy !req
153. Come.Copy !req
154. Commander, please come in.Copy !req
155. - Welcome to Bajor.
- It's been a long time, Captain.Copy !req
156. - Have we met before?
- Yes, sir. We met in battle.Copy !req
157. I was on the Saratoga
at Wolf 359.Copy !req
158. I assume that you have been briefedCopy !req
159. on the events
leading to the Cardassian withdrawal.Copy !req
160. Yes, sir. I understand
they spent the last half-centuryCopy !req
161. robbing the planet of every valuable
resource before abandoning it.Copy !req
162. They've left the Bajorans
without a means of being self-sustaining.Copy !req
163. The relief efforts we've been
co-ordinating are barely adequate.Copy !req
164. l...Copy !req
165. I've come to know the Bajorans.Copy !req
166. I'm a strong proponent for their entry
into the Federation.Copy !req
167. - Is it going to happen?
- Not easily.Copy !req
168. The ruling parties
are at each other's throats.Copy !req
169. Factions united against the Cardassians
have resumed old conflicts.Copy !req
170. Sounds like they're not ready.Copy !req
171. You must do everything
short of violating the Prime DirectiveCopy !req
172. to make sure that they are.Copy !req
173. I have been made aware by StarfleetCopy !req
174. of your objections to this assignment.Copy !req
175. I would have thoughtCopy !req
176. that after three years
at the Utopia Planitia Yards,Copy !req
177. you would be ready for a change.Copy !req
178. I have a son that I'm raising alone.
This is not the ideal environment.Copy !req
179. As Starfleet officers,Copy !req
180. we cannot always serve
in an ideal environment.Copy !req
181. I realise that, sir.Copy !req
182. I'm investigating the possibility
of returning to Earth for civilian service.Copy !req
183. Perhaps Starfleet Command should be
considering a replacement for you.Copy !req
184. - That's probably a good idea.
- I'll look into it.Copy !req
185. - In the meantime, however...
- In the meantime,Copy !req
186. I will do the job I've been ordered to do
to the best of my ability, sir.Copy !req
187. Dismissed.Copy !req
188. It's quite simple, Quark.Copy !req
189. - You're not going to leave.
- Not going to leave?Copy !req
190. - We're packed and ready to go.
- Unpack.Copy !req
191. I don't understand, Commander.
Why would you want me to stay?Copy !req
192. I'm curious myself.
The man is a gambler and a thief.Copy !req
193. - I'm not a thief.
- You are a thief.Copy !req
194. - if I am, you haven't been able to prove it.
- Please!Copy !req
195. My officers, the Bajoran engineers,
all their familiesCopy !req
196. depend on the shops and services
of this Promenade.Copy !req
197. if people like you abandon it,Copy !req
198. this is going to become a ghost town.Copy !req
199. We need someone
to step forward and say,Copy !req
200. "I'm staying. I'm rebuilding."Copy !req
201. We need a community leader
and it's going to be you, Quark.Copy !req
202. - Community leader?
- Seems reasonable.Copy !req
203. You have the character references
of a politician.Copy !req
204. How could I operate my establishmentCopy !req
205. under Starfleet rules of conduct?Copy !req
206. This is still a Bajoran station.
We're just here to administrate.Copy !req
207. You run honest games,
you won't have any problems from me.Copy !req
208. Commander, I've made a career
out of knowing when to leaveCopy !req
209. and this Bajoran provisional government
is far too provisional for my taste.Copy !req
210. When governments fall,Copy !req
211. people like me are lined up and shot.Copy !req
212. There is that risk.Copy !req
213. - But then you are a gambler, Quark.
- And a thief.Copy !req
214. That poor boyCopy !req
215. is about to spend the best years
of his life in a Bajoran prison.Copy !req
216. I'm a father myself.Copy !req
217. I know what your brother
must be going through.Copy !req
218. The boy should be with his family,
not in some cold jail cell.Copy !req
219. Think about it.Copy !req
220. It's up to you.Copy !req
221. At first,
I didn't think I was going to like him.Copy !req
222. Major?Copy !req
223. Everyone else is busy repairing
the primary systems.Copy !req
224. I suppose Starfleet officers
aren't used to getting their hands dirty.Copy !req
225. In the refugee camps,
we did whatever needed to be done.Copy !req
226. Didn't matter who you were.Copy !req
227. I was just talking
with our good neighbour, Quark.Copy !req
228. He's laying odds
that the government's going to fall.Copy !req
229. Quark knows a good bet
when he hears one.Copy !req
230. This government will be gone
in a week and so will you.Copy !req
231. What happens to Bajor then?Copy !req
232. Civil war.Copy !req
233. You think it's inevitable?Copy !req
234. The only one who can prevent it
is Opaka.Copy !req
235. - Opaka?
- Our spiritual leader.Copy !req
236. She's known as the Kai.Copy !req
237. Our religion is the only thing
that holds my people together.Copy !req
238. if she called for unity, they'd listen.Copy !req
239. Leaders of all the factions
have tried to get to her,Copy !req
240. but she's reclusive, rarely sees anyone.Copy !req
241. Commander...Copy !req
242. it is time.Copy !req
243. I apologise for the condition
in which we greet you.Copy !req
244. The Cardassians?Copy !req
245. Your arrival
has been greatly anticipated.Copy !req
246. Have you ever explored your "pagh",
Commander?Copy !req
247. Pagh?Copy !req
248. A Bajoran draws courage
from his spiritual life.Copy !req
249. Our life force,Copy !req
250. our "pagh",
is replenished by the Prophets.Copy !req
251. Breathe.Copy !req
252. - Kai Opaka, if we could discuss...
- Breathe!Copy !req
253. lronic.Copy !req
254. One who does not wish to be among us
is to be the Emissary.Copy !req
255. Please, come with me.Copy !req
256. You are correct
that Bajor is in great jeopardy,Copy !req
257. but the threat to our spiritual life
outweighs any other.Copy !req
258. - But I am powerless until...
- Commander...Copy !req
259. I cannot give you
what you deny yourself.Copy !req
260. I'm sorry?Copy !req
261. Look for solutions from within,
Commander.Copy !req
262. Come with me.Copy !req
263. What is it?Copy !req
264. The Tear of the Prophet.Copy !req
265. What the hell...?Copy !req
266. Opaka?Copy !req
267. Ow!Copy !req
268. Hey!Copy !req
269. I'm sorry. It's just that this...Copy !req
270. - Jen?
- Yes?Copy !req
271. Jennifer?Copy !req
272. I'm sorry. Did we meet last night
at George's party?Copy !req
273. George?Copy !req
274. Jennifer...Copy !req
275. Wait a minute.Copy !req
276. - This is impossible.
- Are you OK?Copy !req
277. I know this place.
This is Gilgo Beach, where we met.Copy !req
278. We met here before?Copy !req
279. I was carrying three lemonades.Copy !req
280. The sand was burning my feet,Copy !req
281. and I stopped here to...Copy !req
282. Ow!Copy !req
283. Do you realise
how incredible this is?Copy !req
284. No, of course you don't.Copy !req
285. Jennifer...Copy !req
286. have a lemonade.Copy !req
287. I'm afraid I don't accept drinks
from strange men on the beach.Copy !req
288. So tell me the truth.
Have we really met before?Copy !req
289. No.Copy !req
290. Then how do you know my name?Copy !req
291. l...Copy !req
292. George told me at the party.Copy !req
293. Are you going tell me your name?Copy !req
294. Ben Sisko.
I just graduated from Starfleet Academy.Copy !req
295. I'm waiting for my first posting.Copy !req
296. - A junior officer?
- Yeah.Copy !req
297. My mother warned me
to watch out for junior officers.Copy !req
298. Your mother is going to adore me.Copy !req
299. You're awfully sure of yourself.Copy !req
300. It's not every day
you meet the girl you're going to marry.Copy !req
301. Do you use this routine a lot
with women?Copy !req
302. No. Never before and never again.Copy !req
303. Sure.Copy !req
304. How about
letting me cook dinner for you tonight?Copy !req
305. My father was a gourmet chef.Copy !req
306. I will make for you
his famous aubergine stew.Copy !req
307. - I don't know.
- You're supposed to say, 'Yes!'Copy !req
308. I'll probably be sorry.Copy !req
309. Jennifer!Copy !req
310. Nine Orbs, like this one,Copy !req
311. have appeared in the skies
over the past 10000 years.Copy !req
312. The Cardassians took the others.Copy !req
313. - Find the Celestial Temple before they do.
- The Celestial Temple?Copy !req
314. Tradition says the Orbs were sent
by the Prophets to teach us.Copy !req
315. What we have learned
has shaped our theology.Copy !req
316. The Cardassians will do anything
to decipher their powers.Copy !req
317. if they discover the Celestial Temple,
they could destroy it.Copy !req
318. What makes you think
I can find your temple?Copy !req
319. - This will help you.
- Kai Opaka...Copy !req
320. I can't unite my people till I know
the Prophets have been warned.Copy !req
321. You will find the Temple.Copy !req
322. Not for Bajor,
not for the Federation,Copy !req
323. but for your own "pagh."Copy !req
324. It is quite simply the journey
you have always been destined to take.Copy !req
325. What?Copy !req
326. I was just thinking
how much you look like your mom.Copy !req
327. Kira to Sisko.Copy !req
328. - Go ahead.
- Sorry to disturb you, Commander.Copy !req
329. There's something on the Promenade
you might want to see.Copy !req
330. On my way.Copy !req
331. Step up, step up!Copy !req
332. Fortune's fates
are with you today, friends.Copy !req
333. Dabo!Copy !req
334. That's fine.Copy !req
335. I'll be right back...Copy !req
336. - What will you have, Commander?
- How's the local synthale?Copy !req
337. You won't like it.
I love the Bajorans.Copy !req
338. Such a deeply spiritual culture,Copy !req
339. but they make a dreadful ale.Copy !req
340. Never trust ale
from a god-fearing peopleCopy !req
341. or a Starfleet Commander
that has one of your relatives in jail.Copy !req
342. Station Log, Stardate 46390.1.Copy !req
343. The Enterprise has been ordered
to the Lapolis system.Copy !req
344. They're to depart after off-loading
three Runabout-class vessels.Copy !req
345. Our medical and science officers
are arriving,Copy !req
346. and I'm looking forward to a reunion
with a very old friend.Copy !req
347. if you'd like me to give them a tour...Copy !req
348. You and Dr Bashir go ahead.
I have to put Lieutenant Dax to work.Copy !req
349. Jadzia...Copy !req
350. Maybe we could...
get together later for dinner?Copy !req
351. Or... a drink?Copy !req
352. I'd be delighted.Copy !req
353. He's a little young for you, isn't he?Copy !req
354. - He's 27. I'm 28.
- 328, maybe.Copy !req
355. Did you tell him about that slug
inside of you?Copy !req
356. He knows I'm a Trill.
He finds it fascinating.Copy !req
357. He's never met a joined species.Copy !req
358. I wonder if he'd be as fascinatedCopy !req
359. if you looked the way you did
last time I saw you.Copy !req
360. Perhaps not.Copy !req
361. This is going to take
some getting used to.Copy !req
362. Don't be ridiculous.
I'm still the same old Dax.Copy !req
363. More or less.Copy !req
364. I'm afraid
we've had some security problems.Copy !req
365. - Looks like looters got in here.
- This'll be perfect.Copy !req
366. Real...Copy !req
367. frontier medicine.Copy !req
368. Frontier medicine?Copy !req
369. Major, I had my choice
of any job in the fleet.Copy !req
370. Did you?Copy !req
371. I didn't want a cushy job
or a research grant. I wanted this:Copy !req
372. the farthest reaches of the galaxy,
a remote outpost.Copy !req
373. This is where the adventure is.Copy !req
374. This is where heroes are made.Copy !req
375. Right here, in the wilderness.Copy !req
376. This "wilderness" is my home.Copy !req
377. The Cardassians left behind
injured people, Doctor.Copy !req
378. Make yourself useful by bringing
your medicine to the natives.Copy !req
379. You'll find them a friendly, simple folk.Copy !req
380. The monks have been studying
these things for 10000 years.Copy !req
381. Our computers can interface
with their historical databanks.Copy !req
382. That should give us something.Copy !req
383. Soon as possible, Dax.Copy !req
384. The eight other Orbs are probably
in a Cardassian laboratory,Copy !req
385. being turned upside down
and inside out.Copy !req
386. Benjamin,Copy !req
387. I was happy
you accepted this assignment.Copy !req
388. - I've been worried.
- It's good to see you, too...Copy !req
389. old man.Copy !req
390. Computer, create a database
for all references to the Orbs,Copy !req
391. including reports of any
unexplained phenomena in Bajoran space.Copy !req
392. Time parameters?Copy !req
393. - Ten millennia.
- lnitialising database.Copy !req
394. Requested function will require
two hours to complete.Copy !req
395. Curzon.Copy !req
396. The Captain's in the ready room, Chief.
Should I tell him you're here?Copy !req
397. That's OK. Thanks.Copy !req
398. - Transport me to the Ops pad, Maggie.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
399. Mr O'Brien? I understand
that I just missed you on the Bridge.Copy !req
400. Yes, sir.Copy !req
401. I didn't want to disturb you, sir.Copy !req
402. Ensign.Copy !req
403. - This is your favourite transporter room.
- Number three. Yes, sir.Copy !req
404. Yesterday I called down here
and I asked for you without thinking.Copy !req
405. - It won't be quite the same.
- It's just a transporter room, sir.Copy !req
406. Permission to disembark, Captain.Copy !req
407. Permission granted.Copy !req
408. Energise.Copy !req
409. Message coming in
from their Commander, Gul Dukat.Copy !req
410. He used to be the Cardassian Prefect
of Bajor.Copy !req
411. He's requesting permission
to come aboard to greet us.Copy !req
412. Surely a coincidence
that the Enterprise just left.Copy !req
413. Mr O'Brien,Copy !req
414. tell Gul Dukat
I look forward to meeting him.Copy !req
415. Good day, Commander.Copy !req
416. Gul Dukat.Copy !req
417. Excuse my presumption,Copy !req
418. but this was my office
only two weeks ago.Copy !req
419. I'm not used to being
on this side of the desk.Copy !req
420. I'll be honest with you, Commander.Copy !req
421. I miss this office.Copy !req
422. I was not happy to leave it.Copy !req
423. Drop by any time
you're feeling homesick.Copy !req
424. You are very gracious.Copy !req
425. And allow me to assure youCopy !req
426. that we only want to be helpful
in this difficult transition.Copy !req
427. You're far from the Federation fleet,Copy !req
428. alone in this remote outpost
with poor defence systems.Copy !req
429. Your Cardassian neighbours
will be quick to respondCopy !req
430. to any problems you might have.Copy !req
431. We'll try to keep the dog off your lawn.Copy !req
432. So tell me. What did you think
of Kai Opaka?Copy !req
433. I know you went to the surface
to see her.Copy !req
434. I understand
you brought back an Orb.Copy !req
435. We thought we had all of them.Copy !req
436. Perhaps we could have
an exchange of information,Copy !req
437. pool our resources?Copy !req
438. I know nothing about an Orb.Copy !req
439. We will be in close proximity
if you wish to reconsider my suggestion.Copy !req
440. In the meantime,
I assume you have no objectionCopy !req
441. to my men enjoying the hospitality
of the Promenade.Copy !req
442. Commander.Copy !req
443. What do you know
about the Denorios Belt?Copy !req
444. A charged plasma field.Copy !req
445. No one gets near it
unless they have to.Copy !req
446. In the 22nd century,
a ship carrying Kai TalunoCopy !req
447. was disabled in the Denorios Belt,
where he claims he had a vision.Copy !req
448. Let me guess. He saw
the Celestial Temple of the Prophets.Copy !req
449. Not quite.Copy !req
450. But he said that the heavens opened up
and nearly swallowed his ship.Copy !req
451. Are we reduced to chasing metaphors
to solve this?Copy !req
452. That's not all.Copy !req
453. At least five of the Orbs
were found in the Denorios Belt.Copy !req
454. There were also 23 navigational reports
over the yearsCopy !req
455. of unusually severe neutrino disturbances
in the same area.Copy !req
456. I've correlated all these reports
into one analysis grid.Copy !req
457. Our Celestial Temple?Copy !req
458. Worth a look,Copy !req
459. but we've got Cardassians
on our back doorstep.Copy !req
460. We need to get by them undetected.Copy !req
461. May we have your attention?
This establishment is being closed.Copy !req
462. What do you mean?
You can't do this.Copy !req
463. if you have a problem,
take it up with Commander Sisko.Copy !req
464. I intend to. This is outrageous.Copy !req
465. Friends, my apologies.Copy !req
466. A minor misunderstandingCopy !req
467. that will be rectified shortly.Copy !req
468. Give them something
to put their winnings into.Copy !req
469. Because we were winning too much,
of course.Copy !req
470. Leave it to Starfleet to ruin a fine day.Copy !req
471. Rio Grande to Ops.
lnitialising pre-launch systems.Copy !req
472. Scanners are picking up fluctuationsCopy !req
473. in the Cardassians' energy distribution net.Copy !req
474. Their computers are crashing.Copy !req
475. Shields and sensors are down.
Odo's done it. Ops to Rio Grande.Copy !req
476. - You're in business.
- Beginning launch sequence.Copy !req
477. - Odo's reached the transport site.
- Trying to lock on.Copy !req
478. I've never done this
with a Cardassian transporter.Copy !req
479. Damn it! What's the problem?Copy !req
480. Nice work, Constable.Copy !req
481. - Approaching grid perimeter.
- Slowing to one-quarter impulse.Copy !req
482. Computer, give me visual,
bearing 23 mark 217.Copy !req
483. Range 3,100 kilometres.Copy !req
484. Sensors are picking up
high proton counts.Copy !req
485. Setting a new course.Copy !req
486. External wave intensities
are increasing rapidly, but checking...Copy !req
487. There is no corresponding increase
inside the cabin.Copy !req
488. How is that possible?Copy !req
489. - Sensors are not functioning.
- We've lost contact with the station.Copy !req
490. Scanners are reading
major subspace disruptionCopy !req
491. at their last co-ordinates.Copy !req
492. What the hell is happening out there?Copy !req
493. I don't know.Copy !req
494. They're just gone.Copy !req
495. Are your navigational readings
going crazy?Copy !req
496. - I'll recalibrate when I can.
- Take your time.Copy !req
497. Can you get a fix on our co-ordinates?Copy !req
498. There is a star five light years away.
No M-Class planets.Copy !req
499. Computer, identify closest star system.Copy !req
500. ldran, a ternary system
consisting of twin O-type companions.Copy !req
501. - That can't be right.
- Basis of identification?Copy !req
502. ldran is based on the analysis
conducted in the 22nd centuryCopy !req
503. by the Quadros-1 probe
of the Gamma Quadrant.Copy !req
504. 70,000 light years from Bajor?Copy !req
505. We just found our way into a wormhole.Copy !req
506. It's not like any wormhole I've seen.Copy !req
507. There were no resonance waves.Copy !req
508. Could this be how the Orbs
found their way to the Bajoran system?Copy !req
509. Not an unreasonable hypothesis.Copy !req
510. if it's true, this has been here
for 10,000 years.Copy !req
511. We might have discovered the first
stable wormhole known to exist.Copy !req
512. Bring us about, Lieutenant.Copy !req
513. I'm modifying the flight programme to
compensate for the spatial discontinuities.Copy !req
514. We should have
a smoother ride this time.Copy !req
515. Did you reduce impulse power?Copy !req
516. - No. Why?
- We're losing velocity.Copy !req
517. Forward velocity down to 80 kph.Copy !req
518. Warning. Lmpulse system overload.
Auto shutdown in 12 seconds.Copy !req
519. - Disengaging engines.
- Velocity at 20 kph.Copy !req
520. I'm picking up atmosphere.Copy !req
521. lnside a wormhole?Copy !req
522. Capable of supporting life.Copy !req
523. - We've just landed.
- On what?Copy !req
524. It's beautiful.Copy !req
525. You have a strange eye for beauty, Dax.Copy !req
526. This isn't one of the most idyllic settings
you've seen?Copy !req
527. We are standing on a rock face!Copy !req
528. Do you see the storm?Copy !req
529. It's as clear as a summer's day.Copy !req
530. - You see it, too?
- Yes.Copy !req
531. Low-level ionic pattern.
It's probing us.Copy !req
532. Someone's idea
of shaking hands, maybe.Copy !req
533. I am Commander Benjamin Sisko
of the United Federation of Planets.Copy !req
534. Dax!Copy !req
535. Another neutrino disruption.Copy !req
536. Scanners are picking up an object
near their last co-ordinates.Copy !req
537. It isn't a ship.Copy !req
538. Major, there's something inside it,
some kind of life-form.Copy !req
539. Are the Cardassians picking it up?Copy !req
540. They should be back on line by now.Copy !req
541. Yellow Alert. Secure Ops.Copy !req
542. Beam it aboard, Mr O'Brien,
but put it in a level-1 security field.Copy !req
543. Aye, sir. Locking on.Copy !req
544. Who are you?Copy !req
545. Who are you?Copy !req
546. It is corporeal!
A physical entity.Copy !req
547. What? What did you say?Copy !req
548. It is responding
to visual and auditory stimuli.Copy !req
549. - Linguistic communication.
- Yes, linguistic communication.Copy !req
550. Are you capable
of communicating with me?Copy !req
551. What are you?Copy !req
552. My species is known as human.
I come from a planet called Earth.Copy !req
553. - Earth?
- This is what my planet looks like.Copy !req
554. You and I are very different species.Copy !req
555. It will take time
for us to understand one another.Copy !req
556. What is this...Copy !req
557. time?Copy !req
558. First Officer's Log,
Stardate 46392.7.Copy !req
559. We're launching a rescue mission
to find Commander Sisko,Copy !req
560. but must recalibrate our sensors
to work under the conditionsCopy !req
561. reported by Lieutenant Dax.Copy !req
562. It is no ordinary wormhole.Copy !req
563. My analysis suggests
that it isn't even a natural phenomenon.Copy !req
564. Not natural?
You mean it was constructed?Copy !req
565. It's very possible whoever made
the Orbs also created this wormhole.Copy !req
566. The Cardassians are on a course
toward the Denorios Belt.Copy !req
567. Mr O'Brien,
what would it take to move this stationCopy !req
568. to the mouth of the wormhole?Copy !req
569. This isn't a starship.
We've got six thrusters to power us.Copy !req
570. 160 million-kilometre trip
would take two months.Copy !req
571. - It has to be there tomorrow.
- That's not possible.Copy !req
572. That wormhole might reshape
the future of this quadrant.Copy !req
573. The Bajorans
have to stake a claim to it.Copy !req
574. That claim would be a lot stronger
if there's a Federation presence.Copy !req
575. Couldn't you modify the subspace field
output of the deflector generatorsCopy !req
576. to create a low-level field
around the station?Copy !req
577. To lower the inertial mass?Copy !req
578. if the station is lighter,
those six thrusters are all we need.Copy !req
579. The station could break apart
if it doesn't work.Copy !req
580. Even if it does work,
we'll still need help from Starfleet.Copy !req
581. The Enterprise is the nearest starship.Copy !req
582. They could reach us in two days.Copy !req
583. We should advise Starfleet
that we require assistance.Copy !req
584. You have Ops, Mr O'Brien.Copy !req
585. - Lieutenant, you're with me.
- Aye, sir.Copy !req
586. You too, Doc. Time to be a hero.Copy !req
587. Yes, sir!Copy !req
588. - Constable...
- I'm in charge of security.Copy !req
589. Security here, on the station.Copy !req
590. I cannot justify
taking you into this wormhole.Copy !req
591. Major, I was found in the Denorios Belt.Copy !req
592. I don't know where I came from -
no idea if there are others like me.Copy !req
593. All my life,
I've passed myself off as one of you,Copy !req
594. always wondering who I really am.Copy !req
595. The answers to my questions may be
on the other side of that wormhole.Copy !req
596. You coming?Copy !req
597. The creature must be destroyed
before it destroys us.Copy !req
598. - It is malevolent.
- Aggressive. Adversarial.Copy !req
599. - It must be destroyed.
- I am not your enemy.Copy !req
600. - I was sent by the people you contacted.
- Contacted?Copy !req
601. With your devices, your Orbs.Copy !req
602. We seek contact with other life-forms,Copy !req
603. not corporeal creatures
who annihilate us.Copy !req
604. I have not come to annihilate anyone.Copy !req
605. Destroy it now.Copy !req
606. My species respects life
above all else.Copy !req
607. Can you say the same?Copy !req
608. I do not understand the threat
that I bring to you,Copy !req
609. but I am not your enemy.
Allow me to prove it.Copy !req
610. - Prove it?
- It can be arguedCopy !req
611. that a human is the sum
of his experiences.Copy !req
612. Experiences? What is this?Copy !req
613. Memories.
Events from my past,Copy !req
614. like this one.Copy !req
615. - Past?
- Things that happened before now.Copy !req
616. You have no idea
what I'm talking about.Copy !req
617. What comes before now
is no different than what is now,Copy !req
618. or what is to come.
It is one's existence.Copy !req
619. Then, for you,
there is no linear time.Copy !req
620. Linear time? What is this?Copy !req
621. My species lives in one point in time.Copy !req
622. Once we move beyond that point,
it becomes the past.Copy !req
623. The future, all that is still to come,
does not exist yet for us.Copy !req
624. Does not exist yet?Copy !req
625. That is the nature of linear existence.Copy !req
626. if you examine it more closely,Copy !req
627. you will see
that you do not need to fear me.Copy !req
628. Partial field established.
lnstability at 12%.Copy !req
629. Partial field?Copy !req
630. ls inertial mass low enough
to break orbit?Copy !req
631. - Procedure is not recommended.
- I didn't ask for an opinion.Copy !req
632. Can we get enough thrust
with only a partial field established?Copy !req
633. - Affirmative.
- All right. Thank you.Copy !req
634. lnitiate transit mode,
three-axis stabilisation.Copy !req
635. Engage thrusters.Copy !req
636. Warning. Field integrity declining.
lnstability at 21%.Copy !req
637. We have to close the gap in the field
or we'll tear ourselves apart.Copy !req
638. Warning. Subspace field collapse
in 60 seconds.Copy !req
639. Transfer energy from the inertial dampers
to reinforce the subspace field.Copy !req
640. - Procedure is not recommended.
- Transfer the energy!Copy !req
641. Unable to comply. Level-1 safety
protocols have cancelled request.Copy !req
642. Warning.
Subspace field collapse in 30 seconds.Copy !req
643. I'll transfer it manually.Copy !req
644. On my mark,
redirect the flow to the deflectors.Copy !req
645. Keep the power balanced.Copy !req
646. Field collapse in 15 seconds.Copy !req
647. Now.Copy !req
648. Field energy
now within flight tolerances.Copy !req
649. Good work, sir.Copy !req
650. Computer,
you and I need to have a little talk.Copy !req
651. The Cardassian warship
is in visual range.Copy !req
652. On screen.Copy !req
653. - They're headed right to it.
- They have to listen to reason,Copy !req
654. when we warn them
what could happen if they go in.Copy !req
655. Most people wouldn't know reason
if it shook their hand.Copy !req
656. You can count Gul Dukat among them.Copy !req
657. This is Federation Ship Yangtze Kiang.
Major Kira Nerys in command.Copy !req
658. Yes, Major?Copy !req
659. We know you're headed for the wormhole.Copy !req
660. Wormhole?
What wormhole is that?Copy !req
661. I strongly suggest you do not proceed.Copy !req
662. We encountered
a hostile life-form inside.Copy !req
663. Perhaps they will be less hostile
to Cardassians than to humans.Copy !req
664. These people are trying to save you
from a lot of trouble.Copy !req
665. Are you going to tell meCopy !req
666. that these are not the life-forms
that have sent the Orbs?Copy !req
667. Or that your Commander Sisko
is not negotiating for their technology?Copy !req
668. I thank you for your concern,Copy !req
669. but I think we will see for ourselves.Copy !req
670. So much for reason.Copy !req
671. Jennifer.Copy !req
672. Yes, that was her name.Copy !req
673. She is part of your existence.Copy !req
674. She is part of my past.
She's no longer alive.Copy !req
675. But she is part of your existence.Copy !req
676. She was
a most important part of my existence,Copy !req
677. - but I lost her some time ago.
- Lost? What is this?Copy !req
678. In a linear existence,Copy !req
679. we can't go back to the past to get
something we left behind, so...Copy !req
680. it's lost.Copy !req
681. It is inconceivable that any speciesCopy !req
682. could exist in such a manner.Copy !req
683. - You are deceiving us.
- No. This is the truth.Copy !req
684. This day, this park...Copy !req
685. It was almost 15 years ago,
far in the past.Copy !req
686. It was a day
that was very important to me,Copy !req
687. a day that shaped
every day that followed.Copy !req
688. That is the essence
of a linear existence.Copy !req
689. Each day affects the next.Copy !req
690. Listen to it.Copy !req
691. - To what?
- The sound of children playing.Copy !req
692. - What could be more beautiful?
- So you like children?Copy !req
693. That almost sounds
like a domestic inquiry.Copy !req
694. I heard Starfleet officers
don't want familiesCopy !req
695. because they complicate their lives.Copy !req
696. They don't often find matesCopy !req
697. who want to raise families
on a starship.Copy !req
698. That almost sounds
like a domestic inquiry.Copy !req
699. I think it was.Copy !req
700. As corporeal entities,Copy !req
701. humans find physical touch
to cause pleasure.Copy !req
702. Pleasure? What is this?Copy !req
703. Good feelings.Copy !req
704. Happiness.Copy !req
705. But this is your existence.Copy !req
706. It's difficult to be here,
more difficult than any other memory.Copy !req
707. Why?Copy !req
708. Because...Copy !req
709. Because this was the day...Copy !req
710. that I lost Jennifer.Copy !req
711. I don't want to be here.Copy !req
712. Then why do you exist here?Copy !req
713. - I don't understand.
- You exist here.Copy !req
714. What's wrong?
What's happening?Copy !req
715. We should reach the wormhole
in two minutes.Copy !req
716. Slowing to one-third imp...Copy !req
717. Are you still there?
What just happened?Copy !req
718. More of your kind.Copy !req
719. Another ship in the wormhole?Copy !req
720. Wormhole? What is this?Copy !req
721. The passage that brought me here.Copy !req
722. It is terminated.Copy !req
723. Our existence is disrupted
when you enter the passage.Copy !req
724. Your linear nature
is inherently destructive.Copy !req
725. You have no regard
for the consequences of your acts.Copy !req
726. We're aware that every choice we make
has a consequence.Copy !req
727. But you claim you do not know
what it will be.Copy !req
728. We don't.Copy !req
729. Then how can you take responsibility
for your actions?Copy !req
730. We use past experience
to help guide us.Copy !req
731. For Jennifer and me,
the experiences in our livesCopy !req
732. prepared us for the day
we met on the beach,Copy !req
733. helped us recognise
we had a future together.Copy !req
734. When we married, we accepted
all the consequences of that act,Copy !req
735. including the consequences of you.Copy !req
736. - Me?
- My son, Jake.Copy !req
737. - The child with Jennifer.
- Yes.Copy !req
738. - Linear procreation?
- Yes.Copy !req
739. Jake is the continuation of our family.Copy !req
740. The sound of children playing.Copy !req
741. Aggressive. Adversarial.Copy !req
742. Competition. For fun.Copy !req
743. It's a game that Jake and I play.Copy !req
744. It's called baseball.Copy !req
745. Baseball? What is this?Copy !req
746. I was afraid you'd ask that.Copy !req
747. I throw this ball to youCopy !req
748. and this other player
stands between us with a bat,Copy !req
749. a stick, and he...Copy !req
750. And he tries to hit the ball
in between these two white lines.Copy !req
751. No.Copy !req
752. The rules aren't important.Copy !req
753. What's important is...Copy !req
754. it's linear.Copy !req
755. Every time I throw this ball,
a hundred different things can happen.Copy !req
756. He might miss or hit it.Copy !req
757. The point is you never know.Copy !req
758. You try to anticipate,Copy !req
759. set a strategy for all the possibilities,Copy !req
760. but in the end it comes down
to throwing one pitch after anotherCopy !req
761. and seeing what happens.Copy !req
762. With each new consequence,
the game takes shape.Copy !req
763. You have no idea what that shape is
until it is completed.Copy !req
764. That's right.
The game wouldn't be worth playingCopy !req
765. if we knew
what was going to happen.Copy !req
766. You value your ignorance
of what is to come?Copy !req
767. That may be the most important thing
to understand about humans.Copy !req
768. It is the unknown
that defines our existence.Copy !req
769. We are constantly searching,
not just for answers to our questionsCopy !req
770. but for new questions.Copy !req
771. We are explorers.Copy !req
772. We explore our lives day by day
and we explore the galaxy,Copy !req
773. trying to expand our knowledge.Copy !req
774. That is why I am here.Copy !req
775. Not to conquer you with weapons
or with ideas,Copy !req
776. but to co-exist and learn.Copy !req
777. if all you say is true,
why do you exist here?Copy !req
778. First Officer's Log, supplemental.Copy !req
779. We've met the space station
at the co-ordinates of the wormhole.Copy !req
780. Our scans have revealed no trace
of the wormhole or Dukat's ship.Copy !req
781. Three Cardassian warships
have crossed the border,Copy !req
782. no doubt on their way
to search for Dukat.Copy !req
783. Can you establish a high-energy
thoron field before they get within range?Copy !req
784. I don't want them
to scan our defence systems.Copy !req
785. They're hailing us.Copy !req
786. On screen.Copy !req
787. I am Gul Jasad of the Cardassian guard,
Seventh Order.Copy !req
788. Where is our warship?Copy !req
789. With any luck, in the Gamma Quadrant
on the other side of the wormhole.Copy !req
790. What wormhole?Copy !req
791. Our sensors show no indication
of a wormhole in this sector.Copy !req
792. - That's because it just collapsed.
- What?Copy !req
793. We believe it was artificially created.Copy !req
794. That may be why we never picked up
any quantum fluctuation patterns.Copy !req
795. You expect me to believe
that someone created a wormholeCopy !req
796. and now conveniently
has disassembled it?Copy !req
797. That's exactly what I expect you
to believe.Copy !req
798. They're flooding subspace
with interference.Copy !req
799. - It'll cut off our communications.
- They're powering up their phasers.Copy !req
800. Shields up.Copy !req
801. What shields?Copy !req
802. - They're hailing us again.
- Open the channel.Copy !req
803. We do not accept your explanation.Copy !req
804. Somehow you have destroyed
our warship.Copy !req
805. Gul Jasad, I assure you...Copy !req
806. We demand the unconditional surrender
of this space stationCopy !req
807. or we will open fire.Copy !req
808. I need at least a day
to make the necessary preparations.Copy !req
809. You have one hour.Copy !req
810. I can transfer all power to establish
partial shields around critical areas,Copy !req
811. but if they hit the docking ring,
we'll sustain heavy damage.Copy !req
812. Constable, if you would co-ordinate
moving personnel to safer locations.Copy !req
813. What was the last reported position
of the Enterprise?Copy !req
814. - At least 20 hours away.
- We must hold out till they get here.Copy !req
815. The Cardassians wouldn't attack
a Federation outpost.Copy !req
816. - Ever read the history of the border wars?
- Yes.Copy !req
817. Heard of the Setlik III Massacre?Copy !req
818. Surrender is not a preferable option.Copy !req
819. You know what they do
to their prisoners, sir.Copy !req
820. What is the point of bringing me
back again to this?Copy !req
821. We do not bring you here.Copy !req
822. - You bring us here.
- You exist here.Copy !req
823. Then give me the power to lead you
somewhere else,Copy !req
824. anywhere else!Copy !req
825. We cannot give you
what you deny yourself.Copy !req
826. Look for solutions from within,
Commander.Copy !req
827. - I was ready to die with her.
- Die?Copy !req
828. What is this?Copy !req
829. The termination
of their linear existence.Copy !req
830. We've got to go now, sir.Copy !req
831. Damn it!
We just can't leave her here.Copy !req
832. Oh, no!Copy !req
833. - I never left this ship.
- You exist here.Copy !req
834. l...Copy !req
835. exist here?Copy !req
836. I don't know if you can understand.Copy !req
837. I see her like this
every time I close my eyes.Copy !req
838. In the darkness,Copy !req
839. in the blink of an eye,Copy !req
840. I see her like this.Copy !req
841. None of your past experiences
prepared you for this consequence.Copy !req
842. And I have never figured out
how to live without her.Copy !req
843. So you choose to exist here.Copy !req
844. It is not linear.Copy !req
845. No.Copy !req
846. It's not linear.Copy !req
847. Their lead ship is hailing us.Copy !req
848. Gul Jasad wants an answer.Copy !req
849. - Are you ready, Mr O'Brien?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
850. When they penetrate our thoron field,
it should raise a few eyebrows.Copy !req
851. All right, then,
let's give them our answer.Copy !req
852. Fire six photon torpedoes
across Jasad's bow.Copy !req
853. We only have six photons, Major.Copy !req
854. We're not going to win this battle
with torpedoes.Copy !req
855. Aye, sir.Copy !req
856. An urgent hail from Jasad.Copy !req
857. Looks like we got his attention.Copy !req
858. On screen.Copy !req
859. This is your answer?Copy !req
860. You think
Starfleet took command of this stationCopy !req
861. without the ability to defend it?Copy !req
862. Defend it?Copy !req
863. Your space station
could not defend itselfCopy !req
864. against one Cardassian warship.Copy !req
865. You're probably right, Jasad.Copy !req
866. if you were dealing with a Starfleet officer,
they'd probably admit...Copy !req
867. we have a hopeless cause here.Copy !req
868. But I am just a BajoranCopy !req
869. who's been fighting a hopeless cause
against the CardassiansCopy !req
870. all her life.Copy !req
871. So if you want a war,Copy !req
872. I'll give you one.Copy !req
873. Major.Copy !req
874. Remind me never to get into a game
of Roladan Wild Draw with you.Copy !req
875. They were using a field
to block our sensors,Copy !req
876. but we were able to penetrate it.Copy !req
877. What are their defences?Copy !req
878. According to our scans,
an estimated 5,000 photons,Copy !req
879. integrated phaser banks.Copy !req
880. When did they receive
these armaments?Copy !req
881. How did they install them
without our knowledge?Copy !req
882. Somehow they have createdCopy !req
883. a massive illusion of duranium shadows.Copy !req
884. - What if it is not an illusion?
- It is.Copy !req
885. Why risk confrontation?
The Fourth Order can be here in a day.Copy !req
886. So can Starfleet.Copy !req
887. Their lead ship
is asking for reinforcements.Copy !req
888. - Yes!
- Too soon for a victory celebration.Copy !req
889. Mr O'Brien?Copy !req
890. The ships are being deployed
in attack formation.Copy !req
891. Battle stations.Copy !req
892. Quickly, now. Calmly.Copy !req
893. Come along.Copy !req
894. They may just be testing us.Copy !req
895. I could run a wave
through the phaser banks.Copy !req
896. Put out a blast
that will make them think.Copy !req
897. Do it.Copy !req
898. - Damage report.
- Direct hit, level 14.Copy !req
899. Empty storage bays.
No casualties.Copy !req
900. Shields down to 27%.Copy !req
901. A fuel conduit has ruptured
on the Promenade.Copy !req
902. - Can you divert the main power flow?
- The controls are locked.Copy !req
903. Odo to Ops.
I've got wounded people down here!Copy !req
904. - Have you seen that doctor of yours?
- I'm on my way.Copy !req
905. I'll shut down the power flow
or the whole Promenade will go up.Copy !req
906. Bloody Cardassians!Copy !req
907. I just got the damn thing fixed.Copy !req
908. Press there, hard.Copy !req
909. Doctor,
maybe I should find you someone...Copy !req
910. Hold it there.Copy !req
911. That should do it for a while.Copy !req
912. Shields are at 18% and falling.Copy !req
913. I might be able to give you
one more phaser blast.Copy !req
914. No.Copy !req
915. Signal the lead ship
that we will proceed with...Copy !req
916. Major, I'm picking up
a huge neutrino disturbanceCopy !req
917. off the forward docking ring.Copy !req
918. It's the wormhole.Copy !req
919. On screen.Copy !req
920. Hail the lead ship.
What did I tell you, Jasad?Copy !req
921. There's your wormhole!Copy !req
922. - Rio Grande to DS9.
- On screen.Copy !req
923. - Go ahead, Commander.
- Sorry to be late.Copy !req
924. Gul Dukat had some problems
on the other side of the wormhole.Copy !req
925. - You've had a few of your own.
- A few, Commander.Copy !req
926. Gul Dukat is signalling his ships
to disarm.Copy !req
927. - Clear me for docking, Mr O'Brien.
- Aye, sir.Copy !req
928. Cleared for Pad C.Copy !req
929. - Casualties?
- 13 injured, Commander,Copy !req
930. and no fatalities.Copy !req
931. Jake!Copy !req
932. Dad!Copy !req
933. Station Log,
Commander Benjamin Sisko.Copy !req
934. Stardate 46393.1.Copy !req
935. The life-forms who created the wormhole
have allowed safe passageCopy !req
936. for ships travelling
to the Gamma Quadrant.Copy !req
937. The Cardassians have left the area.Copy !req
938. Their warship being towed
by a Federation RunaboutCopy !req
939. took the heart out of their fight.Copy !req
940. We're not done
with the Cardassians yet,Copy !req
941. not with the strategic importance
of the wormhole.Copy !req
942. You've put Bajor on the map.Copy !req
943. This will become a leading centreCopy !req
944. of commerce
and of scientific exploration.Copy !req
945. And for Starfleet,
one of our most important posts.Copy !req
946. Captain, regarding our conversation
about someone to replace me...Copy !req
947. I'm sorry. I haven't had time
to communicate that to Command.Copy !req
948. I would prefer you ignore it, sir.Copy !req
949. I'm not sure that I can.
Are you certain that's what you want?Copy !req
950. - We cannot afford to have...
- I'm certain, sir.Copy !req
951. Good luck, Mr Sisko.Copy !req
952. So, where can someone practise
with his phaser around here?Copy !req
953. New rules?Copy !req
954. You can't cheat every customer
any more, Quark.Copy !req
955. You are a community leader now.Copy !req
956. Perhaps we could discuss
these 'new rules' over a drink.Copy !req
957. if you don't take that hand off my hip,Copy !req
958. you'll never be able
to raise a glass with it again.Copy !req
959. I love a woman in uniform.Copy !req
960. Three vessels
are requesting permission to dock.Copy !req
961. We've been retrofitting the airlocks.Copy !req
962. Half were damaged during the move,Copy !req
963. the others when the Cardassians
blew out the fuel conduits...Copy !req
