[Vision - Beach] (Light music)
What the hell?
Opaka?
(He's holding a tray of drinks and the sand is very hot.
He hops and runs to the nearest towel, kicking sand onto a young woman.)
Hey!
I'm sorry.
it's just that this.
Jen?
Yes?
Jennifer?
I'm sorry did we meet last night at George's party?
George?
Jennifer.
Wait a minute.
This is impossible.
Are you okay?
I know this place.
This is Gilgo beach, where we met.
We met here before?
I was carrying three lemonades.
The sand was burning my feet, and I stopped here to.
Ow!
Do you realise how incredible this is?
No, of course you don't.
I. Jennifer, have a lemonade.
I'm afraid I don't accept drinks from strange men on the beach.
(He leaves the drinks and follows her along the beach.)
So tell me the truth.
Have we really meet before?
No.
Then how did you know my name?
I, er, George told me, at the party.
Are you going to tell me your name?
Oh.
Ben Sisko.
I just graduated from Starfleet Academy.
I'm waiting for my first posting.
Ah, a junior officer.
Yeah.
My mother warned me to watch out for junior officers.
Your mother is going to adore me.
You're awfully sure of yourself.
It's not every day you meet the girl you're going to marry.
Do you use this routine a lot with women?
No.
Never before and never again.
Sure.
How about letting me cook dinner for you tonight.
My father was a gourmet chef.
I will make for you his famous aubergine stew.
I don't know.
You're supposed to say, yes!
I'll probably be sorry.
(The orb appears) (Music)
Jennifer!
[Secret cavern] (Opaka closes the Orb case.)
Nine Orbs, like this one, have appeared in the skies over the past ten thousand years.
The Cardassians took the others.
You must find the Celestial Temple before they do.
The Celestial Temple?
Tradition says the orbs were sent by the Prophets to teach us.
What we have learned has shaped our theology.
The Cardassians will do anything to decipher their powers.
If they discover the Celestial Temple, they could destroy it.
What makes you think I can find your Temple?
(Opaka hands him the Orb box.)
This will help you.
Kai Opaka.
I can't unite my people till I know the Prophets have been warned.
You will find the Temple.
Not for Bajor, not for the Federation, but for your own pagh.
It is, quite simply, Commander, the journey you have always been destined to take
