Stardate Unknown Sisko (Avery Brooks) is called to Bajor when an ancient tablet addressing the Emissary is discovered. Seeing it launches Sisko into a vision, during which the Prophets tell him "the Reckoning" must begin. Since no one knows exactly what this means, Sisko takes the tablet back to Deep Space Nine for Dax (Terry Farrell) to translate. Kai Winn (Louise Fletcher) arrives on the station and pushes Sisko to return it, but he refuses, convinced he is doing the will of the Prophets. |

Stardate Unknown En route to Ferenginar, Jake (Cirroc Lofton) and Nog (Aron Eisenberg) are attacked by a Jem'Hadar vessel. When they are suddenly beamed aboard the U.S.S. Valiant, a Defiant-class warship, Nog recognizes the crew of young adults as Red Squad, an elite corps of Starfleet cadets. The 22-year-old captain, Tim Watters (Paul Popowich), explains that his crew, originally on a training mission, became trapped in Dominion space when the war broke out. All of the regular officers were killed, but before he died, the captain ordered Watters to assume command. With Starfleet unaware of the situation, Watters is trying to complete the Valiant's mission to gather data on a new Dominion battleship. Caught up in Watters's fervor, Nog agrees to join the crew as Chief Engineer. |
