2376
THREE MONTHS LATER
PROLOGUE
At night, when the tunnels of B'hala were empty, dust swept through on tireless winds. The night breezes
were relentless in their irregular keening, the soft, lonely sounds trailing over heaps of dry and crumbling
soil, lingering in the corners and dark spaces of the long lost city. Like the gentle cries of shades and
spirits lamenting the daily disturbances of their tomb.
Sometimes, particularly at night when he couldn't sleep, Jacob Isaac Sisko thought he might like to write
about those ancient spirits—a short piece of fiction, or even a poem—but those instances were few and
far between. For the first time in years he had put aside his writing padd, and for the time being, at least,
he didn't miss it much. Besides, by the end of each day, he was usually too exhausted to do more man
eat, pull off his boots, and crawl into his cot, the sheets heavy with dust in spite of the air recycler. His
sleep was deep and
peaceful, and if he dreamed, he didn't remember upon waking.
Last night, though...
He wasn't quite ready to think about that; he concentrated instead on the small patch of dry and faded
earth beneath his fingers, on the feel of the brush in his hand as he carefully dusted. Behind him, Prylar
Eivos droned on about some of the recent discoveries in the southernmost section of the dig, his
ponderous voice seeming to draw the very life out of the tunnel's cool, recycled air. Eivos was a nice
enough man, but probably the most dreadfully dry of all the student overseers; the aging monk seemed to
be perfectly happy with the sound of his own voice, regardless of whether or not the content was relevant
to anything. Jake tuned in for a moment, still brushing at what would almost certainly turn out to be yet
another pottery shard.
"... but there was one figurine among the rest that was carved out of jevonite,.which is nothing short of
extraordinary," the prylar said, his tone suggesting that he'd devoted great thought to the matter. "As you
know, it has always been believed that jevonite could be found only on Cardassia..."
Jake tuned out again, paying just enough attention to know when to nod respectfully. From farther down
the tunnel he could hear the soft hum of the solids detec-. tors and the repetitivechunk of manually
worked picks and shovels. They were pleasant sounds, a bright counterpart to the nights of ghostly
crying from ancestors not his own....
Hewas feeling a bit on the poetic side lately, wasn't he? It was strange, unearthing fragments from an an-
cient culture, and stranger still that the culture wasn't even his—
—Dad's, though, in a way, and in the dream—
He shut that thought down before it could get any further, afraid of the concomitant feelings, afraid of
what he might uncover. And he realized that, beneath the soft bristles of his brush, a sliver of color had
appeared, a dull red against the lighter soil.
Jake waited for a break in Prylar Eivos's oratory.
"... but men, quantum-dating of the jevonite artifacts unearthed at the site proves indisputably that they
actually predate the First Hibetian civilization," the monk stated firmly, and took a deep bream.
"I think I've found it," Jake said quickly.
The prylar smiled, stepping forward and crouching, using the tunnel wall as a support. He pulled his own
brush from a fold in his robes and whisked the remaining soil from around the piece with practiced ease.
As Jake suspected, it was another broken clay shard. For every intact relic that was uncovered at B'hala,
mere seemed to be about a billion broken ones.
And they all have to be catalogued.
"Let's see what we have here... ah, very good, Jake!" The prylar stepped back, reaching for one of the
innumerable trays on the nearby cart. "And how gratifying—it's kejelious, one of the most important
materials used during the Sh'dama Age. Have I ever told you about kejelious? I don't know if anyone
truly appreciates how versatile it can be, when the liquid ratios are altered..."
Jake nodded, smiling, seeing no point in reminding the monk that he'd already heard all about the virtues
of the stuff, twice. Eivos really was a nice old guy, and
seemed to be genuinely excited about the work— though for the first time in all his weeks at B'hala lake
found himself feeling disappointed, gazing at the slender fragment as the monk eased it from the ground.
Maybe because it's not what you came here to find,his mind whispered, and it was another thought mat
he pushed away—but not so quickly as he might have only a few days before. Things were changing
whether he liked it or not, and though he knew it was inevitable, had known for some weeks, a part of
him was still fighting to avoid the next step.
Acceptance.
When the prylar suggested that they break for a meal, Jake was relieved. He hurried away, suddenly
eager to be out of the tunnels where the dead were dust and wind, where his father was a ghost that
could only be longed for.
It was late in the afternoon before he thought of it again.
The dream, Jake. Last night.
He felt a tingle at the back of his neck, a subtle shiver of remembered dream-reality—something about
the wormhole ...?
Jake sighed, still not sure he wanted to remember. Not sure he was ready, in spite of the fact that he'd
been having trouble concentrating for the last several days, really. He was alone in one of the smaller
catalog rooms, a constant, soft drone of activity filtering in through several openings that had once been
windows; he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, breathing deeply.
As far down as they were, second level up from the
tunnels, it was always pleasantly cool, and although a lot of the volunteers preferred to work in the
larger, climate-controlled areas, he liked the fresh air. Usually it kept him alert, but he'd been
daydreaming since lunch. Well, since breakfast, technically, although working with Prylar Eivos would
make an android's mind wander. ...
Jake opened his eyes and returned his attention to the shard he'd been handling, one of several from the
area he thought of as the Kitchens, over at the northeast end of the partially unearthed city. Number,
1601; Designation, C/Utensil. The familiar numbers and keys of the database portable flew; he hardly
had to look at the container tag, knowing from the curve and distinctive blue color that it was another one
of (he goblet sets. He'd catalogued at least thirty of them in the last few days, all from the same
coordinates. Standard estimation comments from Prylar Krish, noted date of extraction ...
... and had he been in the wormhole with his father? It seemed so distant, but he thought that the dream
had been about him and Dad, together, flying...
Jake set the piece of clay aside, knowing mat he had to stop dancing away from the truth of things.
Away from the gentle physical and mental repetition that his time at B'hala had been about, and towards
why he had come.
To accept the fact that I have to go on without him.
The hesitant thought, so simply worded on the page in his mind's eye, struck nun as a little trite—but no
less true or powerful for mat. When no paralyzing sorrow came, he allowed the thought again, accepting
the
heaviness in his throat and chest For now, at least, he had to make a life for himself.
It hurt, but there was also a forced quality to it.Or, not forced, but... deliberate. He knew what had to
happen, what he was supposed to do, but he didn'tfeel it yet.
But Dax said that's normal, didn't she? That it could be a gradual thing, or all at once.Ezri had been very
straightforward about what he might experience, telling him not to underestimate or belittle bis loss, and
to keep his expectations to a minimum. He'd talked to her a few times, before and after leaving the
station, carefully skirting any real conversation about his father. When he'd told her about his intention to
join the B'hala excavation, she'd suggested that not thinking for a while might be exactly what he needed;
in the almost nine weeks since he'd started, Jake had come to agree wholeheartedly.
He'd been invited just about everywhere on Bajor after his father's disappearance. Like Kas, Jake had
politely turned down each hopeful request—to speak at schools, to lead prayer groups, to extend
blessings over everything from local harvest festivals to the openings of new business ventures. Kasidy
had received twice as many offers; he was the Emissary's son, but Kasidy was carrying the Emissary's
unborn child, a somehow more miraculous connection. They'd shared a quiet laugh about it the last time
they'd talked, some small joke that was more affectionate than funny. Jake loved her for that, and had
been glad to see how well she looked. Kasidy had the celebrated pregnancy glow about her, even if her
eyes were a little sad.
You're still dancing, Jake, avoiding the inevitable—
Jake scowled at his inner voice. If it was inevitable, why rush? It wasn't tike he was on a schedule.
Although he hadn't realized it at the time, getting away from the station had been die best thing he
could've done. The initial invitation to visit B'hala had been extended by a branch of the Order of the
Temple, the prylars who primarily worked the dig, and had been offered as a chance to experience
Bajoran history firsthand. Being the Emissary's son surely had plenty to do with it, but Jake appreciated
the less-obvious wording. He knew that B'hala had been a special place for his father. And the fact of it
was, the station had been too empty without Dad, and the looks of sympathy—or worse, the well-meant
platitudes from the Bajoran segment, about the Emissary's great calling—had only served to remind Jake
of just how much he missed his father. Kas had been great, and his friends, especially Ezri and Nog, but
B'hala had been what he needed. He'd heard about the volunteer program—usually open only to
religious initiates—on the second night of what had started as a four-day visit, and had only been back to
the station once, to pick up a few personal items.
He'd had time here. Time to not mink, to categorize shards and books, to run artifacts between scholars
and techs and prylars and vedeks. In the mornings, there were the digs, while afternoons were usually for
cataloging. Occasionally he helped out the students who hand-cleaned and preserved the crumbling
stones from the many small temples that dotted the city, each etched with secrets from thousands of years
past
For all the sense of community, there were enough people milling around for Jake to feel anonymous—
well, more so than on the station, anyway. Besides the
initiate program, mere was also a large, semi-organized group of research scientists on site. Mostly they
were Bajoran archeologists, although there was a handful of recently arrived Vulcan chronologists and a
