Try one.
You'll like it.

Too early for me.

You sure?

It's so sweet.

It's a natural sweetness

from the sap of the jumja tree.

It's full of vitamin C.

Since when did you
become such an expert

on jumja sticks?

Oh, Neela told me.

Did she?

Mm-hmm.

So...

she working out any better
than the last one?

Who, Neela?

She's terrific.

She's even taught me
a thing or two.

I'm glad to hear her expertise

doesn't end with jumja sticks.

No. She's a really good engi...

Hold on.

What?

Well...

you're not thinking?

Well, Keiko!

Just keeping you
on your toes, O'Brien.

Oh, very funny.

Be careful who you
share your jumja with.

Now, as we discussed
in yesterday's lesson

the wormhole was discovered
by Commander Sisko

and Lieutenant Dax
earlier this year.

Does anyone know what makes
this wormhole so unusual?

Jake?

It's stable?

It's stable.

That's right, Jake.

It's the first stable wormhole
known to exist...

Please, continue.

A stable wormhole
is very important

because it allows us to travel,
secure in the knowledge

that neither end
will shift locations.

Who knows why this wormhole
is stable?

Because it was
artificially constructed.

Commander Sisko
encountered the entities

who created the wormhole
when he went...

Excuse me.

By entities,
do you not mean the Prophets?

Yes, on Bajor, the entities
are worshipped as Prophets.

Our studies of the wormhole
have shown that it was formed

by unique particles
we call "verterons"

that are apparently
self-sustaining in nature.

This begins to explain

how a ship at impulse can safely
pass through without...

Ships are safely guided
through the passage

by the hands of the Prophets.

In a manner of speaking.

Not, apparently,
in your manner of speaking.

Perhaps we should discuss this
after class.

Do you believe

the Celestial Temple
of the Prophets

exists within the passage?

I respect
that the Bajoran people

believe that it does.

But that's not what you teach.

No.

I don't teach
Bajoran spiritual beliefs.

That's your job.

Mine is to open
the children's minds to...

history, to literature,
to mathematics, to science.

You are opening
the children's minds...

to blasphemy

and I cannot permit it
to continue.

Sorry I couldn't
get here sooner.

Another fusion reactor
went down.

How's it going?

Done.

Done?

Did you remember
to re-initialize

the isolinear coprocessor?

I did it exactly
like you showed me.

Should I test it?

Well, uh, let me.

You know us old folks.

We like to feel useful.

Not bad.

Not bad at all.

You keep this up,
I'll be out of a job.

I doubt that.

Let's close it up.

Not that one.

That's a security seal.

You need an EJ7 interlock
to close it.

EJ7?

Yeah. That's okay.
I have one here.

Bloody hell.

What's wrong?

Well, my EJ7 is missing.

It was here yesterday.

Maybe you left it in Ops.

No.

I...

I don't misplace my tools.

I'm not exactly surprised.

You knew this was
going to happen?

A confrontation like this
was inevitable.

Sometimes I wonder

if we'll ever find
the common ground we need

to bring Bajor
into the Federation.

Major, would you join us?

We've been talking
about an incident

this morning at school.

I heard.

Vedek Winn's been meeting

with some of the Bajoran
civilians about it.

What do you know about her?

She's from an orthodox order.

She has some support
to become the next Kai...

probably not enough.

The question is,
how much support

does she have on this station?

She has mine.

You can't possibly believe

teaching the facts
about the wormhole

amounts to blasphemy.

I think some revisions
in the school curriculum

might be appropriate.

You teach a lot
of Bajoran children.

I'm not going to let
a Bajoran spiritual leader

dictate what can
or can't be taught

in my classroom.

Then maybe we need
two schools on this station...

one for the Bajoran children

and another for the Federation.

If we start separating Bajoran
and Federation interests...

A lot of Bajoran and
Federation interests

are separate, Commander.

I've been telling
you that all along.

Nobody's saying
that there can't be

spiritual teaching
on the station, Major

but can't it be in addition

to what's taught
in Mrs. O'Brien's classroom?

But if she's teaching

a fundamentally
different philosophy...

I'm not teaching any philosophy.

What I'm trying to teach
is pure science.

Some might say pure science

taught
without a spiritual context

is a philosophy, Mrs. O'Brien.

My philosophy is

that there is room for all
philosophies on this station.

Now, how do you suggest
that we deal with this?

I'm not sure you can.

I can't tell you

how much I've looked forward
to this moment.

I'm honored to meet
the Emissary to the Prophets.

If you'd let me know you
were coming, Vedek Winn

I would have greeted you sooner.

I did not wish to bother you
with my insignificant visit.

I'd hardly call it
insignificant.

Thank you, Emissary.

I wish you wouldn't
call me that.

I'm Commander Sisko

or Benjamin, if you like.

But you are the Emissary.

Don't you know
the cherished place

you have earned
in the Bajoran spiritual life?

I'm not sure I'm comfortable
in that role.

The course the Prophets
choose for us

may not always be comfortable

but we must follow it.

May I?

Still the disbeliever.

I once asked Kai Opaka

why a disbeliever was destined
to seek the Prophets

and she told me that one
must never look into the eyes

of one's own gods.

I disagreed.

I told her I would do anything
to look into their eyes.

She suggested that I
sit in darkness for a day

and quite properly so.

She cannot be replaced,
and I miss her deeply.

It's important to me
that we resolve

your problems with the school.

The Prophets have spoken to me
through the Orbs, Emissary.

I understand my duty
to defend the Bajoran faith.

The teacher has dishonored
the Celestial Temple.

If she does not recant

I cannot be responsible
for the consequences.

This still seems like an awful
lot of trouble to go through

to find one tool.

With that interlock,
someone could access

every critical system
on the station.

Chief, have you seen
Ensign Aquino recently?

No, now that you mention it.

He didn't report for duty
this morning.

The computer says
he's not on the station

but he didn't log out.

Have you talked to Odo?

I guess I'd better.

Scanners are ready.

Computer, show location

of any independent
tritanium sources.

Level 3, Section 5.

Oh, that's the tool locker.

I've been through everything
in there three times.

What's that?

Looks like something
in a power conduit

on Level 12, Section 8.

What would tritanium
be doing there?

Computer, shut down
that conduit.

Reroute power flow.

Conduit deactivated.

Come on.

Over here, Chief.

That's tritanium
composite, all right.

Looks like our
missing interlock.

Must have been melted
by the conduit's plasma flow.

That still doesn't explain

how it got here
in the first place.

Hey...

I'm picking up traces
of organic material.

Whatever it was,
it's been pretty well cooked.

Let's take a sample
to Dr. Bashir.

See what he can make of it.

Ensign Aquino made a log entry
the night he disappeared

about some sort of plasma flow
irregularity in the conduit.

He indicated
he was going to fix it.

So, it was an accident.

Well, I guess so.

Bashir has confirmed
that the remains were human.

I'm sure the DNA trace

will confirm that it was Aquino.

I'll have one, please...

unless you're feeling
adventurous today.

Sorry.

We're all out.

What?

What are all these?

These aren't for sale.

Not for sale, huh?

How would you like
a jumja stick up?

Miles.

Is there a problem?

Damn right there is!

I don't have to sell

anything to them
if I don't want to.

Why wouldn't you want
to sell to them?

Miles, can we go?

Let's go.

Seek the Prophets.

I'll seek you...

Miles!

Seek them yourself.

Maybe you were right.

Maybe we've no business here.

I'll put in for a transfer,
and that'll...

No, I can't run away
from this now.

...don't you all agree?

What's this?

If we abandon the Prophets
then everything we have...

Here's Mrs. O'Brien now.

Good morning.

Are you Mr. O'Brien?

That's right.

A pleasure to meet you.

I've just been hearing

many wonderful things
about your wife

from the parents
of these children.

She apparently is
an excellent teacher.

Yes, she is

and she doesn't deserve
what you're doing to her.

I feel your anger toward me

and I forgive you for it.

Mrs. O'Brien

if I've misjudged you,
I am terribly sorry.

Have I?

Is there a place in your school
for the Prophets?

No.

I admire you

for standing by your convictions

even though I disagree
with them.

Please believe me,
I want to find a way

to allow these children
to stay in your school.

I'm sure the children
and their parents

are happy to hear you say that.

Let me be the one
to make the first concession.

I will no longer request

that you teach anything
about the Celestial Temple.

Just don't teach anything
about the wormhole at all.

Ignore it?

Find other ways

other things
to teach the children.

And when we get
to theories of evolution

or creation of the universe...
what then?

We'll face those issues
when we come to them.

I'm a teacher.

My responsibility

is to expose my students
to knowledge

not hide it from them.

The answer is no.

I've tried to be reasonable.

If Aquino turned off the conduit

to fix the relay,
why did it reactivate?

The Cardassians only equipped
those power conduits

with one flow regulator
per level.

The computer
could have realigned it.

When the power flow
was rerouted back

it could have caught him inside.

You don't sound
entirely convinced.

No, it all adds up, only...

Well, I don't know.

Spit it out, Chief.

He borrowed one of my tools
without asking.

It was 4:00 in the morning.

Maybe he didn't want
to disturb you.

The repairs could have waited.

He was a Starfleet engineer.

You don't take a Chief's
tools without asking.

It's unheard of.

Are you suggesting it might
not have been an accident?

I don't know
what I'm suggesting.

I only know what I know.

He should have asked.

Constable, maybe you ought
to take a closer look into this.

Dismissed.

Hi.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Sure.

I heard about what happened
at school.

Did Mrs. O'Brien
call classes off?

No, there was only me
and four other kids left

but she still kept
the school open.

She changed the lesson
to teach us about Galileo.

Did you know that he was
tried by the Inquisition

for teaching that the Earth
moved around the sun?

Tried and convicted.

His books were burned.

How could anyone be so stupid?

It's easy to look back
seven centuries

and judge what was
right and wrong.

But the same thing
is happening now

with all this stuff
about the Celestial Temple

and the wormhole.

It's dumb.

No, it's not.

You've got to realize
something, Jake.

For over 50 years, the one thing
that allowed the Bajorans

to survive
the Cardassian occupation

was their faith.

The Prophets
were their only source

of hope and courage.

But there were no Prophets.

They were just aliens that
you found in the wormhole.

To those aliens, the future
is no more difficult to see

than the past.

Why shouldn't they be considered
Prophets?

Are you serious?

My point is

it's a matter of interpretation.

It may not be what you believe,
but that doesn't make it wrong.

If you start to think that way

you'll be acting
just like Vedek Winn.

Only from the other side.

We can't afford
to think that way, Jake.

We'd lose everything
we've worked for here.

You're worried, aren't you?

What are you going to do?

I'm not sure

but I think I've got
to find some help.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting,
Commander.

Vedek Bareil?

No need to pay tribute to me.

Pay tribute?

I was just...

Usually when I meet
one of Bajor's spiritual leaders

the first thing they do
is grab my...

Ear?

It's unpleasant, isn't it?

I've been far too polite
to admit it.

I was five the first time one
of the monks grabbed my ear.

He was a stern old crow

who could virtually squeeze
the pagh out of you

with his thumb and forefinger.

And as a chronic misbehaver,
I was his favorite victim.

I swore one of my life's goals

would be to do away
with that archaic ritual.

You can count
on the Federation's support.

I hope you don't mind
if I do a little planting

while we talk.

All those hours of listening
to 112 vedeks talking at once

made me yearn for the sanctity
of my arboretum.

Is this yours?

I began my service at the
monastery as the gardener.

I had no other ambition
but to grow

the most lovely Feloran
bromeliads on the planet.

Unfortunately, the Prophets

did not allow me
that peaceful life.

I understand my friend,
Vedek Winn

has brought her blessings
to your station.

I was hoping you might be able

to arrange an audience
with the Assembly

so I could discuss our school.

Why me?

You are the leading candidate
to become the next Kai.

Your ideology is quite different
than Vedek Winn's.

You have been correctly
informed.

I'm sorry, Commander.

The Vedek Assembly
will not see you.

Why not?

Some fear you as the symbol
of a Federation

they view as godless.

Some fear you as the Emissary
who walked with the Prophets.

And some fear you
because Vedek Winn told them to.

Oh, we're all very good
at conjuring up enough fear

to justify
whatever we want to do.

Today, I am only a Vedek.

If the Prophets will it,
someday I may be Kai

and I can be a better friend
to you then.

In other words

being my friend now
might hurt your chances.

The Prophets teach us patience.

It appears they also
teach you politics.

I'm sorry you made
this long trip

for nothing, Commander.

Please stay
and enjoy the gardens

as long as you like.

Is it my imagination

or are we
a little shorthanded today?

Three Bajoran crewmen
didn't report for duty.

They said
they weren't feeling well.

Do you think
it's contagious, Major?

It's too early to tell.

Are your people willing

to throw away everything
we've accomplished

during the past seven months?

Everyone knows
if the Federation leaves

the Cardassians will be back.

With all due respect, Major

protecting your borders
is not the primary reason

the Federation is here,
and it's not why I'm here.

I'm here to build a trusting
relationship with your people

and I'd like to start feeling
that somebody...

somebody on your side

is giving something back
to that effort.

I think I've given you all
the support I can, short of...

It's not enough.

I thought there was room

for all philosophies
on this station.

You tell
our sick Bajoran crewmen

they better get well
immediately

or they'll recover on the way
to their next assignment.

Yes, sir.

Commander, Dr. Bashir has found
some new evidence

about Ensign Aquino
that you should see.

Sir, I've finally managed
to reconstruct the victim's DNA.

It's definitely Aquino,
but the power flow

in the conduit didn't kill him.

You see, the plasma disruption
in his cellular membranes

indicates that he was exposed
to a directed energy discharge

before he was placed
in the conduit.

A directed energy discharge?

From a phaser?

Set to kill.

Could this murder be related
in any way

to the tensions
over the school issue?

If you're suggesting
he was killed by a Bajoran

just because he was
with the Federation...

The analysis proves
that he was killed

the night
before Vedek Winn arrived.

There wasn't
any school issue yet.

Any ideas about a motive?

All right

then let's start
at the beginning.

Ensign Aquino goes
to repair a power conduit.

One moment, Commander.

I'm not convinced of that.

But the log...

It could have been altered
by our killer

to cover his tracks.

I've checked the turbolift
records the night of the murder.

Aquino did take a turbolift
to Level 3

but not to the power conduit
where he was found.

Where did he go?

Runabout Pad C.

A runabout?

What was he doing in a runabout
at 4:00 in the morning?

Apparently,
he was getting murdered.

Everything in the runabout
seems to be perfectly normal.

It doesn't look
like the airlock systems

have been tampered with.

Let's run a level-1 diagnostic

on the runabout's
computer interface...

then we'll call it a day.

I already have.
Everything's normal.

I don't even know
what we're looking for.

If something
happened around here

it's been pretty
well covered up.

Did you know him well?

Aquino?

Oh, barely at all.

Just the "welcome aboard,
if you need anything" speech.

You?

Not really.

Bajoran and Starfleet officers

don't really socialize
that much.

How come?

I don't know.

I guess we just
keep to ourselves.

Well, you're not
like that with me.

Well, you're not
like the others.

You know.

You don't put on any airs.

You're just...

nicer.

Uh, look...

I'll close up here.

Why don't you take off.

You sure?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Good night.

On your toes, O'Brien.

You were looking for me?

Don't tell me...

there's a Bajoran convention
on the station

I didn't know about.

Thanks, Odo.

I need to call in
more dabo girls.

It's not a convention.

They're
from an orthodox spiritual order

coming to support
Vedek Winn's efforts

to keep the Bajoran
children out of school.

Orthodox?
In that case

I'll need twice as many
dabo girls.

These spiritual types
love those dabo girls.

This is not what I wanted
to talk to you about.

What do you know about the
murder of Ensign Aquino?

You wound me.

All these years together,
I thought you knew me.

Odo, I am not a killer.

No, but most
of your friends are.

True, and I would gladly sell
one of them to you if I could

but unfortunately,
none of them have taken credit

for the death
of the Starfleet officer.

Sorry.

Odo!

Keep your ears open.

Are you kidding?

That's the Seventh Rule
of Acquisition.

This is
a security bypass module.

You found it at Runabout Pad C?

No, that's just it.

It wasn't at Pad C.

That was as clean as a whistle.

Just to be safe, I ran a
diagnostic across the board.

This showed up
at Runabout Pad A.

Pad A...

Aquino never went
anywhere near Pad A.

It doesn't make sense.

On the contrary, it
makes perfect sense.

Ensign Aquino goes to Runabout C

because some sensor
shows an anomaly

in the security net there.

He interrupts whoever
is tampering with it

and is killed.

The killer puts the body
in the conduit

and instead of going
back to Pad C

which might be traced
with Aquino's turbolift log

he changes his plan
and moves to Pad A.

But what was the plan?

Everything else seems normal.

I'd guess somebody wanted
to steal a runabout.

We're not missing one.

Huh. It's curious.

He goes to a lot of trouble
to defeat the security net

and then doesn't
go through with...

The school!

Keiko!

Keiko!

Miles!

Stand back, please!

Clear the way!

What have you got?

I'm reading traces
of cabrodine and infernite...

common explosives,
both easily obtainable.

Then we're looking
at a simple, homemade bomb.

Where is Mrs. O'Brien?

Her husband took her home.

Was she hurt?
Was anyone hurt?

No.

The Prophets
have been kind today.

The Prophets had nothing to do
with what happened here today.

This was the work
of a disturbed and violent mind

who listened to your voice,
not the Prophet's.

Is the Emissary
holding me responsible

for this act of terrorism?

The Commander
of this station is.

May the Prophets forgive you
for abandoning them.

You claim the Prophets as
your personal constituency

Vedek Winn.

I'm not convinced
that's justified.

Who do you speak for?

An order that's barely
listened to in your Assembly.

So you come here looking
for a more receptive audience.

Is that what your friend,
Vedek Bareil, told you?

He's as misguided as you are.

No, that's not fair.

You are not simply misguided,
as I once thought.

Now I see you want nothing less
than to destroy us.

Destroy you?

You live without a soul,
Commander.

You and your Federation exist
in a universe of darkness

and you would drag us
in there with you.

But we will not go.

You have just made
your first mistake, Vedek.

Have I?

The Bajorans who have lived
with us on this station

who have worked
with us for months

who helped us move this station
to protect the wormhole

who joined us to explore
the Gamma Quadrant

who have begun to build
the future of Bajor with us

these people know that we are
neither the enemy nor the devil.

We don't always agree.

We have some damn good fights,
in fact

but we always come
away from them

with a little better
understanding

and appreciation of each other.

You won't succeed here.

The school will reopen.

And when your rhetoric gets old

the Bajoran parents
will bring their children back.

We'll see.

How is she, Chief?

She's pretty shaken up, sir

but she's planning
to hold classes tomorrow

in one of the small cargo bays,
if that's okay.

You tell her Jake
will be there on time.

It will make her feel a lot
better to hear that, sir.

Anything new on Aquino?

Yes, sir.

I found a security bypass module
at Runabout Pad A.

It looks like somebody
might have wanted

to steal a runabout.

That's probably why Aquino went
there in the first place.

I've put security seals
in place at all three pads

and I'm checking
for any other anomalies.

Benjamin, there's an incoming
transmission from Vedek Bareil

on board a Bajoran transport.

On screen.

Commander, I've decided

to accept
your gracious invitation.

Invitation?

You did invite me
to tour your facility.

Yes, yes, of course, Vedek.

We'd be honored.

Unfortunately, we have
some damage on our Promenade.

We won't have time to clean
up before you arrive.

Yes, I heard about it.

Perhaps I can help you
clean it up.

That would be
very much appreciated.

It's the least a friend can do.

I look forward
to seeing you again.

My dear, you should not be here.

Vedek, they found out
about the runabout.

I see.

I have no way to escape.

Then we must accept that
as the will of the Prophets.

But if I go through
with this now

I will be caught and executed.

The sacrifices the Prophets
call on us to make

are great sometimes, my dear

but the rewards they give
will last through eternity.

What the hell?

Computer, identify subprogram
labeled "ANA"

That file is protected

by a personal
security access code.

On whose authority?

Chief of Operations,
Miles O'Brien.

Me?
I never saw this file before.

Override command.

Unable to comply.

State security code
to release protection.

Lieutenant, I've got to do
a manual isolation

of an anomalous file.

It's in the security field
subsystem labeled "ANA"

That file is going to be

protected by a series
of encryption sequences.

I'll run an adaptive program.

For once, we're lucky
we're working

with a Cardassian computer.

It shouldn't have any more
than seven sequences.

Beginning decryption.

On-line.
Patched to subprogram ANA.

Clear the way.
Clear the way.

Make room.

Move along, now.

Clear the way.

Clear the way, now.

Clear the way.

Please stand back.

Clear the way, please.

Thank you.

That's it.

Computer, access subprogram ANA,
Code 4100RLX.

Accessing.

Identify commands
within the file.

Commands are
sequential overrides

of security fields
approaching Runabout Pad A.

The force fields.

Display sequences on screen.

Right to the Promenade.

Computer, run a level-3
sensor sweep of the Promenade.

Report any anomalous reading.

Working.

An escape route.

Escape from what?

You got me.

One anomalous reading detected.

Identify.

A subspace relay was activated
in the security office

nine minutes, seven seconds ago.

Activated to do what?

Unknown.
Insufficient data.

I'm going down there.

I'll run a diagnostic
on the other security systems

and I'll call you
as soon as I have anything.

Promenade.

I expected you sooner, Bareil.

It seems our paths
have grown apart.

Perhaps we can
bring them together again.

I would like nothing
better than that.

Come with me to the school.

Let us both show our commitment

to a peaceful resolution
to this series of events.

Of course.

Computer, is the subspace
device integrated

into the isolinear coprocessor?

Confirmed.

O'Brien to Dax.

Go ahead.

It's in
the isolinear coprocessor.

Didn't you just repair
that unit two days ago?

Yes, I did.

With Neela.

Looking around at your faces

I believe you feel
the shame I feel

at this sight.

No, it's got to be
the weapon detectors

in the Promenade.

That's the only thing
those coprocessors

could possibly affect.

All weapon detectors appear
to be functional, Chief.

That's got to be it.

She's good.
She's real good.

She could make it look
like they're normal.

But it's got to be
the weapon detectors.

O'Brien to Sisko.

Once, our world was
a center of learning.

It attracted travelers
from many other worlds.

Go ahead, Chief.

I'm not entirely sure, but...

I think the weapon detectors

on the Promenade
may have been disabled.

What do you mean,
you're not sure?

I mean Neela
may have disabled them.

Your assistant?

Yes, sir.

...to reject violence
as a solution

to join hands with all peoples

and begin to trust again.

No!

The Prophets spoke.

I answered their call.

The Prophets spoke!

I answered their call!

It was all
to get him here, wasn't it?

The school, the protest,
the bombing...

you knew that would get him
out of the monastery.

You did it all to kill him...

to stop him from becoming Kai.

Neela insists she acted alone...

unless you want to consider
the Prophets coconspirators.

She'll never tell us the truth.

We'll never be able to prove
that Winn was involved.

You okay?

Okay?

I've forgotten "okay."

I haven't seen "okay"
in what seems like years.

I was just sitting here
thinking

last year at this time

I was fighting the Cardassians
in some nameless swamp.

And if you'd stopped by
and told me

that just one year later,
they'd be gone

and I'd be wearing this uniform

up here in charge
of protecting some wormhole...

Protecting
your Celestial Temple.

I envied Vedek Winn
because she was a true believer.

I wanted my faith
to be as strong as hers.

Maybe it is.

I've got a report
to put together for Starfleet.

You ought to get some rest.

I'd rather help you.

Commander...

I heard what you said
to Vedek Winn at the school.

I just wanted you to know...

you were right...

what you said
about the Bajorans...

at least about me.

I don't think that you're...

the devil.

Maybe we have made
some progress after all.
