An elderly Jake Sisko tells a visiting young woman to his home in New Orleans about how he lost his father and why he stopped writing.

Summary[]

Decades in the future, an elderly Jake Sisko uses a hypospray. There is a chime at the door and Jake finds a young woman called Melanie standing there. He invites her in to tend to a scratcH to her face, while she explains why she h as come to see him. Jake is her favourite writer, and wants to both meet and ask him why he wrote so few books. Jake begins to her the story of when his father was lost.

In 2372, Jake is working on a short story and making little headway. His father convinces Jake to accompany him on the Defiant to watch the wormhole undergo a unique event. During the event, the Defiant is damaged and Sisko, followed by Jake, heads to engineering. Sisko is able to stop a warp core breach, but as he is handing Jake an engineering tool, Captain Sisko is hit by an energy discharge and disappears. A memorial service is held on DS9, but Jake feels that he cannot adequately talk about his father and declines to speak at it.

Several months later, Jake sees his father appear in his room, but Captain Sisko soon disappears. Jadzia cannot find any evidence, and advises Jake that he likely had a nightmare. Life moves on. Relations between the Federation and the Klingon Empire deteriorate and without Captain Sisko, the Bajorans look elsewhere for protection, forcing them to make a defence pact with the Cardassians.
