Benjamin Sisko falls in love with a mysterious alien woman, while a brilliant Federation scientist arrives on the space station with a plan to reignite a dead star.
Summary[]
Walking the Promenade late at night, Sisko meets a beautiful woman called Fenna. She disappears. Later, Sisko meets with renowned Federation scientist Gideon Seyetik aboard the starship Prometheus and is stunned to see that Seyetikâs wife Nidell looks exactly like Fenna.
Sisko meets Fenna again aboard the Prometheus and Jadzia scans her to find she is made up of pure energy. Seyetik confesses that Nidell is a psychoprojective telepath and Fenna a projection of Nidellâs mind. Seyetik realises that the only way to save his wifeâs life is to remove the cause of her suffering: him. He pilots a shuttlecraft filled with protomatter into a dead star, reigniting it but killing himself. Nidell recovers with no memory of Fenna and decides to return home. Sisko has to let her go.
