Bashir, Odo, and Worf are sitting idly on the second level of Quark's, considering the repercussions. The conversation is halted when Dax discovers the meaning of the words on the tablet which say that, among other things, the Prophets will weep and the gateway to the Celestial Temple – DS9 – will burn.ĭr. Dax reminds him that he had to persuade the Prophets to help, and that they promised they would exact a penance. Sisko reminds her that, regardless of if they're Prophets or not, they have a relationship with Bajor which they proved when they stopped the Dominion fleet from reaching the Alpha Quadrant. Sisko discusses the situation with Dax, who muses about the time when Sisko thought of the Prophets as nothing more than aliens who lived in the wormhole. After refusing, Winn lodges a formal complaint with Starfleet Command, and Admiral Ross tells Sisko to stop meddling in Bajoran affairs and return the tablet. In her usual, subtle manner, she compares his actions to the plundering of historical treasures the Cardassians did during the Occupation. She is visibly troubled by the removal of the tablet from Bajor. In the meantime, he greets Kai Winn at the airlock. He loses consciousness as the Prophets send him a vision in which they mention the end and the beginning and claim that the Reckoning is at hand.Īwakening, Sisko is adamant in discovering what the tablet says and takes it back to DS9, where he and Dax study it in a science lab to translate it. As Sisko touches it, he is thrown across the room. The monk leads them to a pedestal underneath the old temple, thus older than B'hala, with some "interesting" writing in Ancient Bajoran part of the text reads, "Welcome Emissary". Kira reminds him that, at the very least, it'll be a relief for the captain not to have to think about the war for a little while. Kira notices Jake is less than enthused, and Jake admits that he's concerned how seriously his father takes his role as Emissary now. Ranjen Koral leads the trio through the ruins, where numerous tunnels have been dug and excavations have taken place since Sisko's last visit. Although Dax observes how trivial such things seem in the midst of a war, the archaeologists have specifically requested Sisko's presence. For now, Sisko, Kira and Jake are taking a trip to Bajor to visit a new discovery in the remains of B'hala. It is a time of great uncertainty as the threat of a Dominion attack on Vulcan looms overhead, and while the Romulans have retaken Benzar (home to the Benzites), there is no way to be certain they will relinquish control after the war. At their regular staff meeting in the wardroom, the crew of Deep Space 9 review the state of the Dominion War.
