Data Stellare Sconosciuta: Sisko viene convocato quale Emissario a B'Hala sul luogo del ritrovamento di un importante manufatto
bajoriano molto antico sul quale ci sono dei geroglifici che iniziano con «Benvenuto emissario». Dopo un'improvvisa visione dei
Profeti sul luogo del ritrovamento, Sisko decide di portare il manufatto su
Deep Space Nine per poter approfondire la traduzione dei geroglifici, ma Kai
Winn è decisa a riportare il manufatto su
Bajor, ad ogni costo.
- Come fa Kai Winn ad avere libero accesso alla consolle della sala comando per aumentare la dose di particelle sulla passeggiata visto che a quella consolle stava lavorando Worf, che deve averla sicuramente bloccata con qualche codice?
Dax: I had a pretty good idea what this was the minute I laid eyes on it. That confirms it. It's a slab of stone with some writing on it.
Dax: Sigh. Just do me one favor... If you talk to the Prophets again, ask for a dictionary!.. Please.
Sisko: I'll see what I can do.
Dax: Thank you.
Sisko: I just had this uncontrollable urge... to smash the tablet.
Dax: Oh, I get those urges all the time. Of course, I never act on them...
Nella scena sulla Passeggiata di
Deep Space Nine, dopo il colloquio tra Kira e
Winn, la scena proseguiva così.
WINN
(cool)
Naturally. We both serve the
Prophets. There is no higher
calling.
(beat)
Sometimes, I sense you forget
that, child.
Winn switches into Kai mode to throw Kira off balance.
WINN
When was the last time you went to
the Shrine to pray?
KIRA
A few days ago.
WINN
(disappointed)
I see.
Kira finds herself a bit on the defensive, which is
just what Winn wanted.
KIRA
I've been busy attending to
station business.
WINN
I've found that daily prayer is
indispensable to a fulfilling
spiritual life. Perhaps you
should make time to cultivate your
faith.
KIRA
I will.
WINN
If I'm not mistaken, evening
services are about to begin.
KIRA
I think so, yes.
WINN
Then go, child. You wouldn't want
to be late.
The Pope is telling her to go to church, and despite
herself, Kira finds that she feels compelled to comply.
She nods and moves off. The Kai watches her leave,
secretly pleased she can still have that effect on
people, then turns and returns to her private thoughts.
