No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. That really is the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 of Captain James T. Kirk and crew. But what are Captain Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) and several of his crew doing on it?

The USS Defiant is returning from Cardassian space with the Bajoran Orb of Time. A Klingon named Arne Darvin, surgically altered to look human, has come aboard as a passenger. He uses the Orb to send the USS Defiant more than one hundred years into the past. Darvin plots to change history by and killing James T. Kirk, who exposed Darvin as a Klingon spy trying to poison a grain shipment stored on Deep Space Station K-7. Stopping the assassination isn't the only problem facing Sisko and his crew. In fact, they're facing 1,771,561 problems. They've beamed aboard the USS Enterprise when it's awash in those pesky, nettlesome, ever-multiplying critters, called Tribbles.

Stardate Unknown
She looks like Keiko (Rosalind Chao). Sounds like Keiko. Yet there's something very different about the wife of Operations Chief O'Brien (Colm Meaney). A mysterious entity has taken control of her consciousness. The entity insists that O'Brien must secretly alter the station's com links and sensors...or it will kill Keiko. The loyalties and skill of DS9's lead engineer are pushed to the breaking point as he confronts a dilemma that puts his wife's life in conflict with the safety of the crew. O'Brien knows that he alone must shoulder the life-and-death burden. Nothing can be left to chance. Yet a chance comment by a co-worker provides a spark of an idea that just might resolve his plight.
