Stardate Unknown Jake Sisko (Cirroc Lofton) is sure he knows how to brighten his father's recent downbeat mood. All he has to do is give him the mint-condition Willie Mays baseball card being offered at an auction. "How hard can that be?" Jake confidently asks. Plenty hard. Outbid by a crackpot inventor, Jake and his friend Nog (Aron Eisenberg) make a series of deals to obtain the card. Deal #1: they'll deliver scientific supplies to the inventor in exchange for the card. Deal #2, 3, 4 and more: they take on jobs for the staff - everything from routine maintenance to stealing a prized teddy bear - in exchange for the supplies. It all turns out to be a much bigger deal than Jake and Nog expected when their zealous efforts result in them being hauled into a Jem'Hadar interrogation room! |

Stardate Unknown The Dominion continues to make inroads into Alpha Quadrant, stockpiling vessels at Cardassian shipyards and signing non-aggression treaties with tenuous Federation allies. The activity can only lead Sisko (Avery Brooks) to one conclusion: war is imminent. Preparing for the inevitable, Deep Space Nine command turns the access to the quadrant into an impassable minefield and oversees the evacuation of all but a few station personnel. The fighting soon begins. Outgunned but determined not to be outfought, the station holds its own against an overwhelming armada. But Sisko is only buying time, keeping the enemy in place while Federation forces strike elsewhere. Then comes the dreaded order: Abandon Deep Space Nine...but not before Sisko leaves an unmistakable indicator that he'll be back. |
