It's all right, Chief.
You're going to be just fine.
What happened?
SISKO: You were rerouting
a phase inducer
when one of the plasma conduits blew out.
Oh.
Easy there, Chief.
You've got a mild case
of radiation poisoning.
I'll give you some hyronalin
which should counteract the effects
but I do think he should be restricted
to light duty for the next few days.
Agreed.
Commander
the transport's arrived
and they're requesting permission to dock.
Route them to Docking Bay 12.
Inform the Romulan Delegation
we'll meet them there.
( groans )
And Chief, "light duty" means light.
I don't want to see you crawling around
the Jefferies tube tonight
looking for power surges.
You won't get any arguments today, Commander.
Ready, Major?
Promenade.
Du'cha KovaH!
EstaH! EstaH!
Constable, I wasn't aware
there were any Klingons on the station.
They just arrived a few hours ago.
It seems the main computer on their freighter was damaged
and they need a complete overhaul
before they can continue
back to the Klingon Empire.
How long is this overhaul going to take?
( belches )
Two days, at least.
The Romulan delegation has just arrived
and they're going to be here at least two days
while they study our intelligence reports
on the Dominion.
I want you to keep a close eye on the Klingons.
We don't need any trouble right now.
Understood.
Let's go.
Come on.
Welcome to Deep Space 9.
I'm Commander Sisko, and this is
my First Officer, Major Kira.
I am Ruwon. This is Karina.
We are ready for your report on the Dominion.
We have arranged quarters for you.
I know it's been a long trip
so perhaps you'd like to...
We are not interested
in your accommodations, Commander.
We are here for your intelligence briefing—
nothing else.
Very well.
If you'll come this way.
This will be the foul line.
We need to put a marker here on the floor.
I still don't see
how this is going to help my business, Chief.
No, that's not right.
The number 20 needs to be at the top.
Trust me, Quark.
Darts and bars go together like bacon and eggs.
At least people order bacon and eggs.
In all the years I've been here,
no one has ever come
and asked to see the dart board.
Trust me, they will.
I just don't see the appeal of this game.
No lasers, no holograms.
Just steel tips and feathers.
It's a game of skill, Quark.
And it's not easy.
Go ahead.
Try and get one in the bull's-eye.
( sighs )
No!
Now what if one of those darts
had gotten into his eye?
Do you realize I'd be liable for that?
Do you know how much money an eye costs?
You're not supposed to throw them like that.
You throw them gently.
One at a time.
Like this.
QUARK: Chief O'Brien.
O'BRIEN: What is it, Quark?
The Klingons
just destroyed two of my holosuites.
I need a maintenance crew immediately.
Quark, this happens
every time the Klingons come aboard the station.
Why don't you just keep them out of the holosuites?
QUARK: Did you ever say no
to a Klingon?
Besides, they pay me double.
Chief?
Chief!

Well, the pain you experienced
appears to be a muscle spasm
caused by a sudden decrease
in your serum calcium levels.
It's a common side effect
of radiation poisoning.
I'm giving you some asinolyathin for the pain.
What about the vision I had?
Well, mild hallucinations
are also a fairly common side effect
of radiation poisoning.
It was anything but mild.
I really felt
I was standing on the Promenade
watching myself talking to Quark.
What was the conversation about?
He was complaining about some Klingons.
He said they'd damaged two of his holosuites.
Well, you do have one problem.
If all you can hallucinate about
is Quark's maintenance problems
you have a sadly deficient fantasy life.
( chuckles )
Well, thank you for your professional opinion.
Oh, any time.
My doors are always open to you, Chief.
RUWON: The Dominion represents the greatest threat
to the Alpha Quadrant in the last century.
We need more information
on its military capabilities.
How many ships do they have?
Where are they deployed?
What are their plans for the future?
Are they planning an attack?
We don't know any of that yet.
You have one of Founders
of the Dominion on this very station.
He should be able to tell us everything we need to know
about their intentions.
Odo is not one of the Founders.
Your own reports indicate
that a group of changelings are the real
source of power behind the Dominion.
KIRA: Yes.
And Odo is a changeling.
But he's not one of the Founders.
I fail to see the distinction.
Odo made a conscious choice to stay here with us.
He has no loyalties to the Dominion
and he has no information
about their plans.
We find that hard to believe.
It's the truth, whether you choose to believe it or not.
Commander, we allowed you
to place one of our cloaking devices on the Defiant
in exchange for information regarding the Dominion.
Now you have the cloaking device
and we have very little.
KARINA: We shouldn't have to remind you of the importance
both our governments place
on continuing to carry out this agreement.
It's the first treaty
between Romulus and the Federation in many years.
I'm aware of that
and I'm willing to cooperate with you in any way I can.
Very well, then.
We want to see every piece of information
Starfleet has on the Dominion, no matter how insignificant.
That includes any classified reports
you may have made to Starfleet Command.
I'll have to clear that with Starfleet.
Then do it.
QUARK: Chief O'Brien.
What is it, Quark?
The Klingons just destroyed
two of my holosuites.
I need a maintenance crew immediately.
Quark, we go through this
every time Klingons come aboard the station.
Why don't you ju...?
I think my holosuites can wait.
It looks like you have bigger problems.
I went over the internal sensor logs
and I did find evidence
of a minor temporal disturbance in Quark's
and another one later, on the Promenade.
Both disturbances happened at about the same time
as the Chief's experiences.
So, it would seem
that you did travel into the future
and then returned to the same moment
that you left.
Have you any idea what might have caused this time shift?
Not yet.
I want to go over the medical scans
Julian took of you earlier.
That dose of ionizing radiation you received
might have something
to do with it.
How?
I'm not sure, but it's a good place to start.
I have heard a couple of theories
that ambient low-level radiation
could have a temporal...
( people shouting )
( glass shattering )
Look out!
DAX: effect on radioactive isotopes.
( O'Brien thuds to ground )
Chief!
Mr. O'Brien.
I ran a microcellular scan
and detected minute damage
to his cerebrospinal nerve cells
which might have been caused by the timeshifting.
Can you repair it?
Yes, but the effect is cumulative.
If you keep timeshifting, there may come a point
where the damage becomes irreparable.
Eventually, it might even kill you.
( sighs )
SISKO: Don't worry, Chief— Dax is using
every scanner on the station
to hunt for any temporal abnormalities.
Well, if anyone can find the cause
of the time shifts, it's Dax.
Chief, do you have any idea of how far into the future
you traveled?
No, sir.
There was nothing to indicate
that it was today
tomorrow, next week.
Well, this conference
with the Romulans
is not supposed to last longer than three days.
In the meantime, I'll have Odo
tighten security around Quark's.
How are you feeling, Chief?
Better.
Good.
Commander, may I speak with you for a minute?
Of course.
The Romulans want to debrief everyone
who was on the Defiant
when it was captured by the Founders.
They're also still not happy
with the sensor information collected by the Defiant
so they want unrestricted access to the Defiant
and they also want
complete access to all our personal logs.
Personal logs are out of the question
but they can have limited access to the Defiant.
I'll let them debrief us, as well.
( exasperated sigh )
I know they're pushing us, Major
but consider their position.
There have never been any Romulan ships
So they're completely dependent
on us for information.
Well, then maybe they should send their own ships
through the wormhole and find out for themselves.
The Romulans generally prefer to sit back
and pull the strings from a distance, if they can.
This is one puppet who doesn't like her strings pulled.
I know, but like Ruwon said
they've lived up to their part of the bargain.
We have to do everything we can
to live up to ours.
All right, I'll draw up a schedule of interviews
and I'll tell everyone to cooperate.
And, Major, when you're with the Romulans
try to be diplomatic.
I'm always diplomatic.
That is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard
and I resent the implication.
You seem very agitated
for someone who's proclaiming her innocence.
Indeed, your emotional state
would seem to indicate
that our theory is correct
and you did abandon the Defiant prematurely
when it was attacked by the Jem'Hadar.
( sighs )
When the Defiant was attacked
Odo and I were trapped below decks.
There was a hand-to-hand fight in the corridor.
I was wounded, and I lost consciousness.
When I came to, Odo had already put me
aboard the shuttle, and we'd escaped.
I did not abandon the ship prematurely.
Why didn't Odo try to help the rest of the Defiant's crew?
Well, I'm sure he wanted to
but there was no way to get to the Bridge, and...
Why were you in Odo's quarters
when the ship was attacked?
We were talking.
About what?
It's personal.
Do you often have
personal talks with the changeling?
What business is that of yours?
We're trying to determine the nature of your relationship.
You are the only member
of the Defiant's crew who was not taken prisoner.
Why?
Did the Founders believe
Odo would react badly
if you were harmed?
Did they think you held some kind of attraction to him?
Has Odo ever shown any kind
of physical interest
in you, Major?
That's it.
You can rip the cloaking device
out of the Defiant right now!
I am not answering
any more questions.
And I suggest you avoid asking Odo those questions
or you may just find yourself
on the other side of that bulkhead, floating home.
There. That's the game.
Had enough?
One more.
Chief, that's the tenth game we've played in a row.
Nothing's happening here
and I don't think anything is going to happen.
By telling us about the fight
you have changed the future.
Security's here, and Quark says
he won't let the Klingons back in the bar.
There is not going to be a fight.
I know, I know, but...
I've seen it, and I can't shake the feeling
that it's going to happen
despite our precautions.
Something about the way things look
the number of people.
There's something a little too familiar
about everything.
All right, if it makes you feel any better
I'll beat you at another ten games.
But I can't help getting the feeling...
( loud laughter )
Ach'cho korvak bataH!
Karagh, abeH.
( laughter continues )
You said you weren't going to let
the Klingons back in the bar!
I didn't.
They were in the holosuites.
Besides, now they're paying me triple.
( chuckling )
Who let these filthy pahtk in here?
Maybe we should show them the way out.
And then...
What's his name?
Ruwon?
Ruwon started to insinuate that...
you were...
That I was what?
Interested in me.
He said that?
Have you ever heard
anything more...
Ridiculous!
Exactly.
Quark to Security.
I've got a fight on my hands.
They're tearing my place apart.
( people yelling )
Watch the Romulan!
All right, that's enough!
Get back!
Come on!
ODO: Move it. Move it.
Let's go. Come on now.
Miles?
( gasps )
( groaning )
Chief.
It's all right.
You collapsed outside Quark's about an hour ago.
You're going to be fine.
No, I'm not.
In a few hours, I'm going to be dead.
This is the panel I saw myself open.
It looked like a phaser
or high-energy laser
came out of the bulkhead.
Nothing on the tricorder.
Just the standard conduits and power juncture ports.
If there is something dangerous in there
it could be cloaked
or have some dampening field
around it.
If you gentlemen will step down the corridor
I'll open the panel and take a look.
Don't worry. I'll be careful.
It's all right.
Nothing.
You're sure this is the right panel?
Absolutely.
Believe me, I've a pretty vivid memory
of the whole thing.
( sighs )
Well... since it appears
that your first two time jumps
each moved you
to about five hours into the future
we could also assume
that the incident you saw in this corridor
moved you to about five hours into the future.
ODO: That means someone will place a device
in this panel in the next few hours.
are vacant at the moment.
There are no vital power conduits in this area.
No crucial defense systems.
Why would someone want to booby-trap
a wall panel here?
I suggest we place a surveillance device
in this corridor.
If anyone attempts to tamper with the panel
we'll be able to detect it.
Dax to Sisko.
Sisko here. Go ahead, Lieutenant.
Benjamin, can you come to Ops?
I think I've found a clue to Chief O'Brien's timeshifting.
We're on our way.
Keep me informed.
DAX: I've been scanning the area around the station
out to a radius of two kilometers.
I didn't find anything at first.
Then I started to scan some of the lower subspace bandwidths.
I found traces of low-level tetryon emissions.
I've never seen an emission pattern
like that outside of a neutron star.
Or a quantum singularity.
And singularities are known to send out waves
of temporal displacement.
But if there is a singularity nearby
why can't we find it?
It should also be affecting
the gravimetric field signatures.
I don't know.
Maybe it's buried so far down
in the subspace layers that we can't detect it.
Assuming for the moment
that a singularity is responsible
how do we combat its effects on the Chief?
Temporal displacement caused by a quantum singularity
most commonly affects
delta-series radioisotopes
which is exactly what the Chief absorbed
during the conduit breach.
So you're saying that it
could be pulling O'Brien's body like a magnet?
Exactly.
I think I may know a way to neutralize the remaining
radioisotopes in your body.
DAX: Without the radiation
the temporal displacement might stop.
It's going to take time.
You may experience
one or two more time shifts
before I can complete the process.
When can we start?
Right away.
Keep trying to pinpoint the singularity.
If it is out there, we need to locate it
and find a way to get rid of it.
Right.
I wanted to let you know
I moved the Romulans to different quarters.
Oh?
It's the replicators again.
I assigned a maintenance crew.
But in the meantime, I moved the entire Romulan delegation
to section 47, level 2
in the Habitat Ring.
Section 47?
Yes. Is something wrong?
The wall panel
where O'Brien saw himself being killed
is right outside those quarters.
( sighs )
Which means either the Romulans
are going to put a device in the bulkhead themselves
or someone else will
possibly to be used
against the Romulans.
Should I move them to other quarters?
No. That'll warn whoever is responsible.
But inform Odo of the change in quarters.
He already has that corridor under surveillance.
Let's see how this thing plays out
before we make any further moves.
You have something, Constable?
Someone has planted
a class-3 surveillance device
behind the wall panel we've been monitoring.
Were you able to see who it was?
No, we've been monitoring the corridor constantly
for the past three hours.
No one's come anywhere near the panel.
However, sensors did detect
a low-energy transporter beam
a short time ago.
They beamed the device directly into the wall.
That's a delicate piece of transporter work.
Yes, it is.
We haven't been able to trace the beam
to its point of origin
but since there aren't any ships nearby
I believe it originated on the station.
Any suspects?
Well, since it appears to be a device
intended to conduct covert surveillance
of the Romulans
my leading suspects would be the Klingons.
Do you have any evidence
besides the fact that Klingons hate Romulans?
Well, not yet, but don't worry.
I plan to investigate the Klingons
the Bajorans, Quark, the visiting Terrellians...
You think Quark had something to do with this?
I always investigate Quark.
Looks like you're going to cheat death, after all.
Round about this time
you saw yourself being killed.
I feel like someone just walked over my grave.
I mean, I've had a few brushes with death in my career
but there was something
about watching myself being killed—
of feeling my own neck
for a pulse that wasn't there.
Well, could have been worse.
Could have been me.
( chuckles )
Here you are, gentlemen.
And how is DS9's most famous fortune teller?
Don't call me that.
I haven't told anyone's fortune.
Oh, just a figure of speech.
On the other hand
if you should find yourself in the future again
and you find yourself passing by the dabo table
would it really hurt to take a look
at the numbers coming up on the wheel?
I could make it worth your while.
Let's get out of here.
Just a thought.
Can you believe that?
I'm being pulled into the future and all he can think about is...
Chief!
Oh, am I glad to see you.
What the hell happened to me, Julian?
It was the, the radiation.
I didn't realize it had damaged the basilar arteries
in your brain stem until it was too late.
Well, why not?
It didn't show up
on any of the diagnostics.
I couldn't tell what had happened
until I was doing the autopsy.
Autopsy.
Yeah, I just finished doing it a few moments ago.
Do you want me to show you the results?
No, no, no!
That's, that's all right.
Now, look, when you go back to the past
ask me to perform a basilar arterial scan
and since you're going five hours back into the past
I should have enough time
to find the damage and repair it before...
this happens.
Right.
How could you just let me die?
I didn't just let you die.
I did everything I could
to keep you alive for over an hour
but your body just gave up.
Gave up?
I'm sorry, Chief.
But there comes a point
when the human body just gives up.
Yeah, well, maybe my Doctor wasn't...
Bashir to Infirmary.
I need a nurse and an emergency medkit here immediately.
We finally were able
to localize the transporter beam
and trace it back to this location.
These quarters have been vacant for weeks.
Somehow they overrode
the security lock on the door to gain access.
So, what did they do?
Bring in a portable transporter
and beam the surveillance equipment
into the bulkhead?
That was my first thought
but then I realized that a portable transporter
is a rather large and bulky piece of equipment
That's true.
So, then I began thinking about...
the replicator.
Ah... they realigned the matter-energy
conversion matrix.
Turning it into a small transporter—
a very sophisticated, very professional job.
So now we know
how they did it.
The next question is who.
I think I have the answer to that as well.
Now, this device is manufactured on Davlos III—
a planet on the Klingon border.
In fact, Davlos does over 90 percent
of its trade with the Klingon Empire.
Oh, that's still very little evidence to make an arrest.
Yes, it is
but then I contacted a friend at Starfleet Intelligence
who used to be assigned to the Federation Embassy
on the Klingon Homeworld.
He put me in contact
with a former Klingon operative
who is out of favor
with the current administration.
This former operative sent me a series of reports...
Odo...
cut to the chase.
The three Klingons now on the station
are part of a covert strike force
that reports directly to the Klingon High Council.
Why didn't you just say so?
Well, sometimes I have to remind you
just how good I am.
Mm. So, Gowron sent our three friends here
and they're conducting surveillance
on the Romulan delegation.
Why?
Are they here to kill them?
Possibly.
It's also possible that this is just
a routine intelligence- gathering operation.
The high-energy laser that killed O'Brien
is simply a booby trap
to prevent someone from tampering with the device.
It's not meant for assassination.
Well, in either case
I think we have enough evidence
to at least hold the Klingons for questioning, don't you?
Absolutely.
And I think I can question them
until the Romulan delegation leaves the station.
Just be careful.
Commander, there is no careful way
to question a Klingon.
I have... I haven't given up.
( panting )
I won't give up.
It's all right, Chief.
You're okay.
No, I'm not.
You need to run a basilar arterial scan.
Why?
Because if you don't
I'm going to die in less than five hours.
Who told you that?
You did.
In the future.
Oh.
Well, who am I to argue with me?
Let me go!
KLINGON: This is an outrage.
We have done nothing.
We will have our vengeance on all of you for this.
You are treating us with dishonor.
We have done nothing wrong.
We take a very dim view of spies and saboteurs on this station.
Now you slander us.
When my family finds out what you have done
they will come here and kill you.
I doubt that very much.
The only people who will be coming here
are your friends in Klingon Intelligence.
And from what I understand
they don't like being embarrassed by operatives
who fail in their missions.
However, should you suddenly feel like cooperating
I may be persuaded to let you go
without contacting your friends in Intelligence.
May be.
So how are you feeling, Chief?
Better, sir.
I've eliminated
almost all the radioisotopes from his body.
Have to wait a couple more hours
before I give him the last treatment.
But after that, there should be no more timeshifting.
SISKO: What about the quantum singularity?
We've been able to track it
by using its tetryon emissions as a guide.
It seems to be orbiting Deep Space 9
in a roughly elliptical fashion.
At certain points in its orbit
the singularity radiates
temporal energy at a specific wavelength.
That seems to be what triggers my time shifts.
Is there any way to break it out of its orbit
and send it on its way?
Well, we were hoping to station...
( alarm blaring )
O'BRIEN: Come on, come on.
Hurry up. We don't have much time!
Prepare to seal the hatch
and release the docking clamps.
MAN: Move quickly. Let's go.
All the way back. Move quickly.
Come on.
Initiating emergency escape protocol.
Hang on, I'm going to full impulse.
Now what?
You're here!
Look, I don't know what happened.
I was asleep in bed when the whole station was rocked
by an explosion.
Before I could get to Ops
the evacuation alarm sounded.
And the com systems were down.
I got as many people as I could in here.
I don't know what happened to the others.
When you go back, you have to find out what happened
and stop it.
My God!
Chief, what's wrong?
We've got a new problem, sir.
Did you see anything from the runabout
that would indicate how the station was destroyed?
There were a series of explosions
that rippled across the Habitat Ring.
But it all happened so fast
I couldn't get a clear sense of exactly what was going on.
Could you tell if you were looking at internal explosions
which might indicate some kind of sabotage or accident
or external explosions, which might indicate
we were under attack?
No. No, I'm not sure.
DAX: Do you remember seeing
any other ships nearby?
No, but I had a very limited view of the area.
Well, it looks like, at this point
we can't rule anything out.
Agreed.
Make preparations to evacuate the station.
Do it quietly.
is the result of an attack or sabotage
we don't want to alarm our enemy
and make him trigger events
we're trying to avoid.
Begin a complete systems check
of everything on the station
that could potentially
cause this kind of explosion.
Right.
O'BRIEN: Commander...
there might be another way to find out what's going on.
If I could travel into the future again—
this time just before
the destruction of DS9—
I might be able to find out what's going to happen
then return to the present
in time for us to prevent it from happening.
If you could flood my body
with high concentrations
of delta-series radioisotopes
it might trigger
a time shift into the future.
Possibly, but those isotopes are toxic.
It could cause permanent damage to your nervous system.
It might even kill you.
Well, if the future happens the way I saw it happen
a lot of people are going to get killed
when the station explodes.
It's a risk I'm willing to take.
SISKO: Even if you're able to initiate a time jump
each time you traveled into the future
you've always gone five hours.
How do you propose to shorten the length of a jump?
Well, there might be a link between the temporal frequency
of the singularity
and the length of the time shift.
We might be able to calibrate
the decay constant of the isotope
that we inject you with
to match the frequency of the singularity.
And with a few minor adjustments
we can control how far you jump
into the future.
Exactly.
All right.
But if you can't do it within two hours
I'm going to begin to evacuate the station.
Understood.
Now, when you activate this device
it'll inject you with a two-rad dose of delta isotopes.
Now, if our calculations are right
that should put you about three hours into the future.
What's the margin of error?
Plus or minus half an hour, I'd say.
But that's the best we could do.
Now, it's already set for the return trip.
So all you have to do is activate it again
to return to the present.
Right.
And remember
don't wait too long.
Your body will be experiencing
symptoms of severe radiation poisoning.
If you don't get treatment, it will kill you.
I won't forget.
Good.
Julian, there's a...
a message in my quarters for Keiko if...
I understand, Miles.
0200.
That's three and a half hours into the future.
Miles, Miles!
Wake up!
What?
Computer, lights.
Oh, no, not you again.
What is it now?
Listen to me.
I've jumped ahead and seen your future.
Don't ask me how, it'll take too long to explain.
There's going to be a disaster.
DS9 will be destroyed.
Destroyed? How?
I don't know.
That's why I'm here.
I have to find out what's going to happen
and then travel back into the past and prevent it.
You look pretty bad.
It's the radiation.
Well, if you feel bad and you're my past self
shouldn't I feel bad, too?
BOTH: I hate temporal mechanics.
Let's get down to Ops and see what's going on.
( groaning )
Help me up.
Run a sensor sweep of the entire station.
Look for anything that might indicate a...
Report!
A Romulan warbird just de-cloaked off of Lower Pylon 2.
They've taken out
our shield generators.
On screen.
Lock phasers and return fire.
( groans )
They've hit the fusion reactor.
Main power's down.
Defense systems off-line.
KIRA: Try to reroute phasers through
the emergency power couplings.
Miles, you've got your answer.
The quantum singularity
that's been orbiting the station—
it's the Romulans.
Are you listening?
The Romulans use
a confined singularity to power their warp core.
That's what we've been detecting.
That's what's causing the time shifts.
You must go back and tell them
to put up the shields and stand by
for an attack.
I can't.
I can't get through another shift.
It's the radiation poisoning, it...
You go.
Just activate it.
It's set for the return trip.
Me?
I don't belong there.
I'm you... you're me...
It does... doesn't matter.
Just go.
Go!
( explosion )
Chief!
What happened?
It worked.
O'Brien to Sisko.
SISKO: Go ahead, Chief.
I've been to the future, Commander.
The quantum singularity off the station
is actually in the warp core
of a cloaked Romulan warbird.
They're going to de-cloak and fire on us
in a matter of hours.
Understood, Chief.
Raise shields.
Stand by weapons systems.
I don't understand it.
Your body should be flooded
with delta-series radiation
but there's only a tiny amount in your tissues.
Your metabolic readings are different.
What happened?
There's been a... a change.
Uh... I really have nothing else to say.
I think you're lying, Quark.
About what part?
All of it.
Well, at least I'm consistent.
( laughs )
Quark, you can leave.
Thank you.
I know you have a cloaked warbird orbiting the station.
And I know that you're planning an attack.
At first, I couldn't understand why
and then I remembered
what you said about the Dominion—
how they were the greatest threat to the Alpha Quadrant
in the last century.
If you really believed that
then the only way you could ever be truly safe
from the Dominion would be to collapse the wormhole.
But you knew we wouldn't just sit by
and watch while you did it.
So you had to destroy the station, too.
That way, there'd be no witnesses.
Everyone would assume that Deep Space 9 was destroyed
by what appeared to be the accidental collapse
of the wormhole.
An interesting...
theory, Commander.
But that's all it is, a theory.
SISKO: That's right.
But I'll tell you what's not a theory.
We tracked the tetryon emissions back to your warbird
and I have about 50 photon torpedoes locked onto it
right now.
I think it's time we left.
I couldn't agree more.
Constable, will you please escort our... guests
to the nearest transporter room?
If you'll come with me.
So you're telling me
that you remember playing this game
with me in the future?
Right.
All right, what am I going to hit?
20, outer ring.
Why, that's remarkable.
It's also a little disturbing.
I have this nagging feeling
that I don't really belong here.
This isn't really my life.
You know, maybe this life
belongs to that other Miles O'Brien.
Listen, Chief, whether you are living in the past
or the present, you are Miles O'Brien.
The only difference is you have a few memories
the other one didn't have.
Well, I think I'll go to bed.
I'm still kind of tired.
Now, that sounds like a good idea.
Quark.
Dabo.
Dabo?
PLAYERS: Dabo!
( excited cheering )
Wait, Chief, wait!
( laughs )
