01      EMISSARY
        teleplay by Michael Piller
        story by Rick Berman & Michael Piller
        directed by David Carson
        music by Dennis McCarthy  (Crescendo GNP cassette & CD # GNPD 8034)
  Stardate 46379.1:  Commander Ben Sisko and his son Jake, both survivors of the
    Wolf 359 Borg massacre, arrive at the planet Bajor as part of a Starfleet
    team taking over the abandoned Cardassian space station Deep Space 9.  The
    station, which was inentionally damaged by the Cardassians before they left
    it behind, is being pieced together by newly-transferred Operations Chief
    O' Brien from the Enterprise.  Sisko also meets Major Kira, his Bajoran
    first officer who doubts the ability of the provisional government of Bajor
    to avert a civil war and trusts the Federation even less; Odo, a mysterious
    shapeshifter in charge of station security; and Quark, the suspicious
    Ferengi kingpin who's eager to get out of town before the regulatory hand of
    the Federation clamps down on his shady "business" affairs.  Sisko is
    summoned to the Enterprise for a briefing with Captain Picard, whom he still
    remembers as the man responsible for the death of thousands, including
    Sisko's wife, in the Borg invasion attempt.  Picard gives Sisko the
    Federation's orders regarding management of Deep Space 9 - to do everything,
    short of violating the prime directive, to get the struggling Bajora back on
    their feet so they can join the Federation.  Sisko, however, is considering
    resigning from Starfleet to raise his son in a better environment.
       Soon afterward, the Enterprise departs to undertake other duties as the
    station's new doctor, the brilliant but inexperienced Julian Bashir, and
    science officer Jadzia Dax arrive.  Dax, a Trill who has lived in a number
    of bodies, is an old friend of Sisko's.  Sisko, at the suggestion of Kira,
    travels to Bajor and visits Bajoran spiritual leader Kai Opaka, who tells
    Sisko that he is to be the emissary of the people to the temple of their
    gods.  Opaka reveals an Orb, a mystic object of a type which has appeared
    throughout Bajoran history.  The Orb envelops Sisko in a brief recollection
    of his first meeting with his wife, and then releases him.  Opaka gives him
    the Orb, and the news that Sisko - whether he likes it or not, whether he
    even knows it or not - will find the temple.  He returns to Deep Space 9 and
    hands the Orb over to Dax for further study.  The Cardassians return,
    ostensibly to make use of the station's amenities.  Dax discovers that
    reports of the Orbs' appearances correspond to a certain area of space near
    Bajor.  She and Sisko set out in a Federation Runabout to investigate, and
    stumble across a wormhole that shoots them 70,000 light years across the
    galaxy.  Trying to return to the station, their ship is halted.  Dax is
    taken back to the station by an Orb, while Sisko is kept and studied by
    noncorporeal beings who built the wormhole.  These beings have no conception
    of linear time, existing simultaneously in the past, present and future, and
    they ask Sisko questions about the ephemeral nature of humans, which they do
    not comprehend.
       Dax, back on Deep Space 9, fills the crew in on details of the wormhole.
    Major Kira orders O' Brien to shift the station's position so that it stands
    in front of the wormhole.  A Cardassian ship, however, enters the wormhole,
    but is damaged by the wormhole life forms.  When another Cardassian flotilla
    arrives and finds no sign of the missing ship, they threaten to open fire on
    Deep Space 9 unless Kira agrees to surrender the station.  In the wormhole,
    the aliens' study of Sisko reaches an end when they discover the human drive
    for knowledge, and they are puzzled by Sisko's inability to live down the
    death of his wife.  At the station, Kira's brinksmanship abilities and her
    feisty confrontations with the Cardassians result in a firefight, damaging
    the station heavily.  The solution to the confrontation lies with Sisko, if
    he can overcome the wormhole beings' manifestations of his inner barriers
    and escape from the wormhole.

        music by Jay Chattaway
  Stardate not given:  Shortly after Dr. Bashir excitedly reports to Sisko a
    meeting with a merchant who happens to be the only remaining Cardassian on
    the station, a Bajoran ship is detected with hostile Cardassians hot in
    pursuit.  The single occupant of the damaged Bajoran vessel is beamed aboard
    and is discovered to be a member of a group of violent Bajoran extremists
    who have not yet ceased their terrorism against the Cardassians.  Requesting
    asylum, all Tahna does is invite Sisko's suspicion.  Sisko is further put in
    a tenuous situation when the Cardassian ship's commander demands that Tahna
    be turned over for his crimes against the Cardassians.  Kira, herself a
    former member of Tahna's underground, tries to convince Tahna to give up his
    violent tactics, but he refuses, and it turns out that his visit to Deep
    Space 9 is all part of another of his inevitably bloody gambits for revenge.
    This time, however, Tahna plans action not only against the Cardassians, but
    the Federation as well - and he expects Kira to help him.

        directed by Paul Lynch
        music by Jay Chattaway
  Stardate 46421.5:  During routine banter with Quark on the Promenade, Odo
    spots Ibundan, a Bajoran man he jailed months ago for murder, and the old
    enemies get into a fight almost immediately.  Not long afterward, Ibundan is
    found dead in one of the Promenade's holosuites, and evidence has been
    carefully placed to lead a trail to Odo, a suspicion which spreads among the
    station's populace along with rumors of Odo being a Cardassian agent and a
    growing paranoia.  Bashir and Dax begin putting together pieces of a puzzle
    which include DNA traces from Ibundan's ship, but in the meantime, the
    station's residents grow restless and demand that Odo be handed over to be
    punished for a crime they believe he committed.  While Sisko and his crew
    are working full-time on finding the solution to the crime, the denizens of
    Deep Space 9 seem to have no intention of allowing Odo to survive long
    enough to stand trial.

        music by Dennis McCarthy
  Stardate 46425.8:  Business as usual is keeping O' Brien the busiest man on
    DS9, as systems continuously break down almost at random, mainly food
    replicators.  In the course of his repairs, O' Brien accidentally activates
    a concealed Bajoran device designed to release an adaptive virus into the
    food generated by that replicator.  He is immediately stricken with the
    disease, which scrambles his brain's ability to connect language, stimuli
    and responses.  Quark, impatient to get service back on schedule at his bar,
    unwittingly spreads the virus to all of his patrons, and a stationwide
    epidemic ensues.  Bashir, before falling victim to the virus himself,
    discovers that the plague was created by the Bajora in an attempt to prevent
    the construction of the station years ago, and it is eventually fatal.  Most
    of the population is rendered useless, with a few exceptions, among them
    Odo, Major Kira and Quark.  They must find an antidote to the virus and try
    to ensure the station's safety until a cure can be found.

        directed by Corey Allen
        music by Dennis McCarthy
  Stardate not given:  The first ship from the Gamma Quadrant emerges through
    the wormhole and arrives at DS9.  Its single occupant is convinced to dock
    at the station to allow the crew to repair his battle-damaged vessel.
    O' Brien tries to get acquainted with the alien, who identifies itself only
    as Tosk.  As soon as no one is watching, however, Tosk begins trying to
    determine how to fight and hide on the station.  Odo discovers Tosk
    tampering with a security junction and Tosk winds up in the brig.  A second
    ship arrives from the wormhole.  Sisko gives the new visitors every chance
    to make friendly contact, but they instead disrupt the station's shields and
    beam into the Promenade without permission.  Armed, they begin searching for
    Tosk and hold the crew at bay.  It turns out that they are game hunters
    searching for Tosk, and advise the crew of DS9 to stay out of their way.
    O' Brien decides to take the rules of the hunt into his own hands to prevent
    Tosk from having to be bagged in captivity and disgrace.

  Stardate 46531.2:  A Runabout barely returns from the Gamma Quadrant after
    experiencing a power loss on its way back to DS9.  The crew must be rescued
    by Sisko, Kira and O' Brien on arrival, and they have brought a passenger
    back from the other side: Vash, Captain Picard's old flame from a vacation
    on Risa, last seen going off to explore the universe with Q.  Vash has
    apparently been wandering through the Gamma Quadrant on her own for two
    years, and once she gets settled in on the station, begins making plans to
    sell several artifacts from the Gamma Quadrant.  In the meantime, power
    failures begin occurring on DS9, coinciding with the arrival of Q, who is
    pestering Vash to continue her travels with him.  Q also introduces himself
    to Sisko and the station crew and delights in irritating them as much as he
    has always enjoyed badgering the Enterprise crew.  In the meantime, Vash
    meets Quark and they begin planning an auction of her Gamma Quadrant loot -
    off of which they both expect to make a fortune.  Power failures and Q
    continue to plague the station, climaxing with a gravitational force sucking
    DS9 straight toward the wormhole.  Sisko is unsure whether an unknown
    natural phenomenon is dragging the station to its doom, or if Q is simply
    playing another of his infamous pranks.

  Stardate 46910.1:  A small group of Klaestrons try to kidnap Lt. Dax from the
    station, but Sisko snags their ship in the station's tractor beam before
    they can escape with their hostage.  The leader of the Klaestron party,
    Ilon Tandro, claims to be carrying out the extradition of Dax on charges of
    treason and the murder of Tandro's military father 30 years before, when Dax
    inhabited the host body Curzon.  Sisko, not believing the charges and unable
    to comprehend Dax's silence regarding the situation, stalls the Klaestrons'
    plans by calling for an extradition hearing overseen by a Bajoran judge, and
    sends Odo to Klaestron 4 to find out as much as he can about Curzon Dax's
    activities 30 years ago.  Meanwhile, time, and possibly the letter of the
    law, are against the case for Dax's freedom and survival.

  Stardate not given:  As Odo and Starfleet newcomer Lt. Primmin irritate each
    other while trying to coordinate security for the transfer of a deuridium
    shipment due to arrive at DS9, a Runabout is sent to aid a crippled Kobliad
    prison ship, containing investigator Ty Kajada and two corpses, one of which
    was a notorious Kobliad criminal known as Rao Vantika, who, even after being
    pronounced dead by Bashir, is still considered a major threat by Kajada.
    Dax discovers, during post-mortem investigations, that Vantika was capable
    of transferring his consciousness into the mind of any other being without
    the recipient's consent or even their knowledge.  The vital shipment may be
    lost to Vantika, whoever his evil ambitions inhabit now - and he has
    henchmen waiting to assist him on the station.

        music by Dennis McCarthy
  Stardate not given:  A group of Gamma Quadrant aliens led by Falow makes first
    contact with the station, an event which Sisko intends to treat with the
    utmost seriousness and ceremony.  Sisko is surprised, however, when Falow
    and his fellow travelers seem to be interested only in games.  After Sisko
    leaves the proceedings out of boredom and mild disappointment, Quark cheats
    Falow in his casino, and Falow means to get even by introducing Quark to a
    game from the Gamma Quadrant.  At the same time, Sisko, Dax, Major Kira and
    Dr. Bashir vanish from the station without a trace, finding themselves in a
    surreal maze occupied by images of Falow and others.  As they try to work
    out the puzzle and help each other survive, Quark continues to play the
    game, only gradually becoming aware of who his pawns are.

  Stardate not given:  Quark receives a surprise - and something of a dubious
    honor - when Grand Nagus Zek, a Ferengi business mogul, arrives at DS9.
    After some customary patronizing at Quark's, Zek insists on holding a
    conference of Ferengi profiteers there, while Quark fears that Zek plans on
    buying out his bar on the station.  To everyone's surprise, especially
    Quark's, Zek announces his retirement and declares that Quark will succeed
    him to the coveted position of Grand Nagus.  Many of the visiting Ferengi
    are jealous, as would be expected of them.  But Quark discovers - after a
    close call - that someone among the Ferengi is jealous enough to try gaining
    the position of Nagus by killing him.

  Stardate not given:  Quark and Rom are involved in a shady deal with a pair of
    twin Miradorns when a recent visitor from the wormhole interrupts, kills one
    of the Miradorn brothers, and tries to steal a valuable item.  Odo turns out
    to have been present all along and intervenes before the surviving Miradorn
    can exact vengeance, but Croden, the visitor from a distant planet Rakhar
    troubles Odo even more, for he may have a clue to the shapeshifter's origins
    in the Gamma Quadrant.  Odo must decide whether or not to trust the criminal
    when Sisko orders him to transport Croden back through the wormhole to
    Rakhar - and the surviving Miradorn brother leaves DS9 to follow the
    Runabout carrying his brother's murderer.

  Stardate not given:  On a routine day at the station, Kai Opaka, the Bajoran
    spiritual leader who helped lead Sisko to discover the wormhole when he
    first arrived at DS9, pays a surprise visit.  Sisko, Kira and Bashir take
    Opaka on her first trip through the wormhole.  Before they can return to the
    station, a signal is detected from a series of satellites orbiting a moon in
    the Gamma Quadrant.  When Sisko's Runabout investigates, it is fired on by
    one of the satellites, forcing the ship to crash-land on the moon.  Opaka
    dies on impact, but before Kira has long to grieve, warriors appear and take
    the crash survivors back to their camp.  It is discovered that two groups of
    combatants have been stranded there for centuries, fighting a war in which
    no one ever dies - not even newcomers who find themselves in the line of
    fire.

  Stardate 46729.1:  As the leaders of two Bajoran factions arrive on the
    station where Sisko hopes to diplomatically steer them away from solving
    their differences in combat, O' Brien and Dr. Bashir depart to Bajor in
    response to a distress call which vaguely stated that an entire community is
    jeopardized.  Bashir is puzzled to find all of the villagers except one -
    the elderly Sirah - in perfect health, yet the locals still insist that they
    are in mortal danger.  They discover, when the Sirah makes his appearance at
    a yearly festival (against Bashir's recommendation), that the threat comes
    from the legendary Dal'Rok, a mythical creature which descends upon the
    village for five nights of each year in an attempt to destroy it.  But every
    year in the past several generations, the village Sirah told a Story,
    somehow halting the Dal'Rok's onslaught.  This year, the Sirah will not
    complete his Story...

  Stardate 46844.3:  With the aid of the station crew, the Bajoran provisional
    government prepares to convert a moon into part of a power system needed to
    help Bajor overcome the damage caused by decades of Cardassian rule.  On a
    final inspection flyover of the moon, Kira and Dax detect humanoid life on
    the suface.  Kira beams down and finds stubborn old Mullibok, who has been
    living on the moon almost since the Cardassians arrived to take over Bajor.
    Mullibok and his two neighbors rendered mute by Cardassian torture years ago
    refuse to leave the moon, even when Kira warns that the conversion of the
    moon into a power facility will kill all life there.  But when Kira begins
    the first steps of the provisional government's orders to remove the
    settlers by force, she finds herself sympathetic with Mullibok's plight and
    joins in their fight to stay until the imminent end.

  Stardate 46853.2:  The strange behavior of space near the wormhole and the
    sudden appearance in Chief O' Brien's quarters of a character from a bedtime
    story read to Molly signal the beginning of an alien study of the station's
    crew from the vantage point of manifestations of their imaginations, ranging
    from a favorite baseball player of Sisko's to a pair of ravishing beauties
    (appearing, naturally, on Quark's arms) to the girl of Bashir's dreams -
    Dax, but with a far different personality.  At first the apparitions seem
    harmless, but it then seems that they are capable of posing danger to the

  Stardate 46925.1:  A handful of Federation ambassadors boards Deep Space 9 on
    a fact-finding mission - one which is failing to get off the ground since
    the delegates seem unable to cope with the fact that the station isn't
    exactly a proper Federation starbase.  Among the delegates is Lwaxana Troi,
    who becomes enamoured of Odo after he retrieves a stolen item of hers from a
    thief at Quark's bar.  As she begins scheming to snare the constable, a
    small probe emerges from the wormhole, and to O' Brien's surprise, the
    station computer actually works well enough for once to download information
    from the probe.  The probe's effect on the station computer is inexplicable,
    including stranding Odo in a stuck turbolift with Lwaxana Troi...

  Stardate 46922.3:  A Klingon ship makes an unexpected return from a scientific
    mission in the Gamma Quadrant and self-destructs.  A single member of the
    ship's crew beams himself into Ops, dying shortly after cryptically
    announcing "victory."  As Dax and O' Brien start trying to piece together
    the mystery of the Klingon ship, divisions take place between members of
    DS9's crew.  Kira, still unsatisfied after losing an argument with Sisko
    about security arrangements for a shipload of possible allies of the
    Cardassians, begins to plot against the commander, quietly gathering loyal
    followers among the crew and threatening those who don't sympathize with her
    cause.  Sisko, in the meantime, goes into hiding supposedly for security
    reasons, as he and Chief O' Brien prepare for Kira's imminent mutiny.
    Odo remains the only officer who hasn't taken up arms with either side yet,
    since he has his own motive.

    Kira realizes that whoever it is, they were at a forced labor camp operated
    on Bajor by the Cardassians which Kira helped to liberate years ago.  But
    the patient turns out to be a Cardassian.  Kira places him under arrest and,
    against Sisko's advice, interrogates him.  Under questioning, the Cardassian
    suddenly proclaims himself to be Gul Darhe'el, who commanded the labor camps
    and authorized genocidal killings of Bajorans.  Kira, along with the Bajoran
    provisional government, takes a more vested interest in proving him guilty
    of past atrocities...even if he isn't who he says he is.

19      IN THE HANDS OF THE PROPHETS
        written by Robert Hewitt Wolfe
        directed by David Livingston
        music by Dennis McCarthy
  Stardate not given:  Vedek Winn, a Bajoran spiritual leader who is a prime
    contender for the position of Kai, appears in Keiko's classroom and declares
    that Keiko's scientific teachings about the wormhole are in conflict with
    Bajoran beliefs.  Winn's announcement divides the Federation officers and
    Bajorans on the station who follow Winn.  Sisko attempts to enlist the aid
    of Vedek Bariel, the quiet leader in the race to become Kai, but initially
    meets with no cooperation.  When terrorist acts begin, it becomes apparent
    that Bajoran political interests may also be deeply involved - and the
    Federation crew of Deep Space 9 may have outstayed their welcome.

20      THE HOMECOMING
        teleplay by Ira Steven Behr
        story by Jeri Taylor and Ira Steven Behr
        directed by Winrich Kolbe
        music by Dennis McCarthy
  Stardate not given:  A visitor to DS9 gives Quark the earring of a legendary
    Bajoran POW, and Quark hands it over to Kira.  Kira recognizes it as the one
    belonging to Li Nalas, the greatest freedom fighter in Bajoran history and
    legend.  Kira convinces Sisko to loan her a Runabout - and Chief O' Brien as
    pilot - to travel to Cardassia IV.  Recovering Li Nalas and a handful of
    other Bajorans from a forced labor camp, Kira and O' Brien rush back to DS9.
    Though the Bajoran provisional government officially condemns Kira's
    cabalier rescue operation, the Bajorans on the station and everywhere
    rejoice in Li's return.  Sisko hopes Li can reunite the gradually dissolving
    Bajoran government, which is splitting into many factions, including the
    extremist reactionary Circle, isolationists who mean to evict all
    non-Bajorans from Bajor or DS9.  The Circle is, in fact, beginning to make
    its presence known aboard the station, as is Li Nalas, when he winds up
    replacing Kira as the Bajoran liaison officer on DS9.
  Season 2 Regular Cast:  Avery Brooks (Commander Benjamin Sisko), Rene
    Auberjonois (Odo), Siddig El Fadil (Dr. Julian Bashir), Terry Farrell (Lt.

21      THE CIRCLE
        written by Peter Allan Fields
        directed by Corey Allen
        music by Dennis McCarthy
  Stardate not given:  Kira has been recalled to Bajor, and accepts an
    invitation from Vedek Bariel to spend some time at his monastery.  There,
    she encounters the Third Orb, which gives her a strange vision including
    Dax, Vedeks Winn and Bariel, Minister Jaro, and the Bajoran Chamber of
    Ministers.  In the meantime, as Li Nalas tries to fit into his role as DS9's
    first officer, the crew stumbles across evidence that the Circle is more
    than an isolated faction, but instead a well-organized and surprisingly
    well-armed movement which is waiting in the wings to overthrow the
    provisional government of Bajor by force.  Unknown to the Circle's members,
    however, they are being provided weapons by the Cardassians, who anticipate
    correctly that Starfleet will order Sisko and all other Federation personnel
    to evacuate DS9 and leave Bajor to its own political machinations.  The
    Circle launches assault ships to attack the station, however, and many of
    the Starfleet occupants have no choice but to stay behind and fight for
    their survival...

22      THE SIEGE
        written by Michael Piller
        directed by Winrich Kolbe
        music by Dennis McCarthy
  Stardate not given:  DS9 is being abandoned, and everyone from the Starfleet
    contingent to civilians are evacuating to various places of safety.  In the
    meantime, Sisko and some others decide to stay and fight it out with the
    Bajoran assault squadrons.  Kira is determined to get proof of the
    Cardassians' interference in Bajoran affairs to the Chamber of Ministers,
    even if it means walking into the assembly and showing the evidence to them
    herself.  Li tells her where to find hidden fighter craft left over from the
    Cardassian occupation, and with Dax's help, Kira sets out on her mission.
    Bajorans General Krim and Colonel Day, along with several shiploads of
    soldiers, take over the station, cautious because there is no resistance.
    Sisko, Li, Odo, and many other crew members begin to wage guerilla warfare
    upon DS9's new occupants.  Kira and Dax, after a quick dogfight with Bajoran
    assault ships, crash-land on Bajor and are rescued by Vedek Bariel, who gets
    them into the Chamber of Ministers with the damning evidence intact.  As the
    Circle's popularity dissolves before the eyes of its high-ranking
    supporters, the Bajoran troops on DS9 are ordered to stand down - but some
    of them insist on bearing a deadly hatred that will cost the Bajora one of
    their greatest legends.

23      INVASIVE PROCEDURES
        teleplay by John Whelpley and Robert Hewitt Wolfe
        story by John Whelpley
        directed by Les Landau
        music by Dennis McCarthy
  Stardate 47182.1:  DS9 is evacuated to avoid endangering any personnel due to
    the passage of a plasma storm.  A handful of renegades infiltrates the
    nearly-abandoned station with the aid of Quark, who doesn't know what
    they're really after.  The leader of the intruders is Verad, a candidate for
    Trill host who was rejected by the symbiosis evalutation board as unfit for
    the joining, and he intends to steal the symbiont Dax.  As the crew is held
    hostage, Bashir is coerced into performing the operation to implant Dax into
    Verad.  As Bashir struggles to keep Jadzia alive long enough to reunite her
    with Dax, Sisko tries to keep the newly integrated Verad Dax talking in hope
    of appealing to his mentor's better nature.

        directed by Cliff Bole
        music by Jay Chattaway
  Stardate 47177.2:  A Bajoran man arrives on DS9 with his adopted son, a young
    Cardassian who was abandoned when his people withdrew from Bajor.  This
    draws the attention of the Cardassian government, particularly Gul Dukat,
    who claims he is eager to solve the dilemma of Cardassian war orphans left
    behind on Bajor.  DS9's resident tailor, Garak, seems to find Dukat's sudden
    pledge to resolve the abandoned children's situation ironic, since the boy
    in question is really the son of one of the civilian assembly who voted to
    pull the Cardassian military out of Bajoran space - one of Dukat's political
    adversaries.  Sisko and Dr. Bashir, aided and abetted by Garak's cryptic
    advice, must decide the fate of the Cardassian youth, possibly deciding the
    end result of an internal power struggle whose combatants couldn't care less
    about the boy's situation.

        story by Evan Carlos Somers
        directed by Winrich Kolbe
        music by Dennis McCarthy
  Stardate 47229.1:  The first Elaysian officer in Starfleet, Ensign Melora
    Pazlar, is assigned to DS9.  Bashir and O'Brien have had to modify various
    passageways to permit Melora - whose low-gravity home world leaves her body
    reliant on a wheelchair in normal gravity - access to as much of the station
    as possible.  In the meantime, Quark's former partner, who he once sold out
    to the Romulans in order to save his own skin, has finally been released by
    his captors and has come aboard the station to exact vengeance upon Quark.
    Bashir decides to make an effort to cut through Melora's oversensitivity and
    defensiveness in order to help her, and even discovers that there may be a
    way to reverse her handicap.
  Guest Cast:  Daphne Ashbrook (Melora), Peter Crombie (Fallit Kot), Don Stark
    (Ashrock), Ron Taylor (Klingon Chef)

26      RULES OF ACQUISITION
        teleplay by Ira Steven Behr
        story by Hilary Bader

        music by Dennis McCarthy
  Stardate not given:  Grand Nagus Zek once again plans to use DS9 as the launch
    pad of Ferengi business opportunities in the Gamma Quadrant, and again he
    sees Quark as a valuable agent in securing the financial future of the
    Ferengi Alliance - or a scapegoat should his efforts to make commercial
    inroads through the other side of the wormhole fail.  A newcomer to Quark's
    is another Ferengi named Pel, who is especially savvy to Ferengi rules of
    commerce and materialism - but flies in the face of the rules of traditional
    Ferengi customs, since Pel is a female in disguise who, in Ferengi society,
    could be jailed for stepping out of her house with clothes on.
  Guest Cast:  Helene Udy (Pel), Wallace Shawn (Zek), Tiny Ron (Maihar'du),
    Brian Thompson (Zyree), Max Grodenchik (Rom), Emilia Crow (Inglatu)

        directed by James L. Conway
        music by Jay Chattaway
  Stardate 47282.5:  Quark is hired to retrieve a list of names hidden on DS9 by
    a Bajoran five years ago, but when he gets curious about the list's
    contents, a Bajoran man enters his bar and shoots him.  As Quark fights for
    his life in the infirmary under guard, Odo realizes that this incident is
    somehow linked to the murder of a Bajoran five years ago, when Odo was first
    assigned to investigate his first crime on DS9 by Gul Dukat.  The Bajoran
    whose murder Odo never solved turns out to be the husband of the woman who
    paid Quark to get the list.  Five years ago, she accused Kira of the crime,
    claiming that the then-resistance fighter was having an affair with the
    woman's husband.  Though the woman is currently involved in some suspicious
    activities, she was correct in one of those assumptions.

    Dukat), Robert Mackenzie (Trazko)

  Stardate 47329.4:  On the fourth anniversary of the Wolf 359 attack and the
    death of his wife, Commander Sisko tries to evade the painful reminder by
    walking around the station.  On the Promenade, he meets a woman who
    identifies herself as Fenna, and though a spark of fascination ignites
    between them, she disappears without a trace moments later.  The next day,
    despite Fenna's vanishing act, Sisko carries out his duties, including the
    preparation of the USS Prometheus to carry out a hazardous stellar ignition
    experiment under the auspices of Dr. Seyetik - whose wife, as it so happens,
    turns out to be Fenna...or a duplicate of her.  En route to the potentially
    deadly site of a dead star via the Prometheus, Sisko struggles to decipher
    Fenna's secret.

  Stardate 47391.2:  A damaged ship emerges from the wormhole carrying four
    members of an unknown race from the Gamma Quadrant.  The station's universal
    translator takes a good deal of time to decipher the aliens' language, but
    when it does decode their incomprehensible speech, they are able to tell
    Sisko and Kira that there are three million others on the other side of the
    wormhole, referrred to in their native Skrreean mythology as the eye of the
    universe, looking for Kentaana, their destiny according to legend.  As it
    turns out, Kentaana is known in the Alpha Quadrant as Bajor, and the
    Skrreeans intend to emigrate there.

        story by Joe Menosky
        directed by David Livingston
        music by Jay Chattaway
  Stardate not given:  A new face arrives on DS9's Promenade, an open face with
    an apparently big heart, enough to listen through any hard luck story and
    comfort the person telling it.  Unknown to his increasingly large number of
    friends, however, Martus is simply gathering information and awaiting his
    opportunity.  When he finds a way to open an entertainment center that
    steals Quark's clientele, Quark begins to suspect that his luck has run out.

  Stardate not given:  Dr. Mora Pol, the Bajoran scientist who studied Odo and
    first discovered that Odo is a living creature, arrives on DS9 to enlist the
    shapeshifter's help in another research endeavor - this time a journey into
    the Gamma Quadrant to investigate a world that may once have harbored beings
    similar in nature to Odo.  Finding only the ruins of some past civilization
    at first, the away team also find some local flora that appear to bear some
    resemblance to Odo.  A geological upheaval on the planet sends the members
    of the away team scrambling for cover from suffocating natural gases.  After
    returning to their runabout and going back to the station, most of them wind
    up recovering in the infirmary recovering from gas inhalation.  Only Odo
    appears to be uninfected, which is fortunate since something the away team
    has brought back from the Gamma Quadrant would appear to be lose aboard DS9
    - something with abilities remarkably similar to Odo's...
  Guest Cast:  James Sloyan (Dr. Mora Pol), Matt MacKenzie (Dr. Weld Ram)

    destroy their bumper crop of biological weapons known as Harvesters.
    Shortly after finally discovering a means of rendering the Harvesters inert,
    the scientists on the alien ship are stormed by a squadron of armed troops.
    Only Bashir and O' Brien escape, beaming down to nearby Tellani III when
    they are unable to contact their Runabout.  O' Brien has been infected by
    material from a Harvester and will die within days if he doesn't receive
    treatment that Bashir cannot provide without the station's medical
    facilities.  In the meantime, Sisko and the crew have been informed that
    Bashir and O' Brien died in an accident aboard the research ship - but
    unknown to the crew, those who Bashir and O' Brien were helping in good
    faith are deliberately responsible for the attack.

    (Sharat), Larry Cedar (Nydro), Bill Mondy (Jakin)
