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

repetitive chunk of manually

worked picks and shovels. They were pleasant sounds, a bright counterpart to

the nights of ghostly crying

from ancestors not his own....

He was feeling a bit on the poetic side lately, wasn't he? It was strange,

unearthing fragments from an ancient

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

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

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't feel 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

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

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

handful of recently arrived Vulcan chronologists and a few assorted off-world

theology groups -- not to mention a constant trickle of the faithful, devout

sightseers who came to pray and meditate hi the long shadow of B'hala's

central

bantaca. Jake generally avoided the spire daring the daylight hours, as

uncomfortable as ever with being recognized --

"Jake Sisko?"

Jake blinked, then smiled amiably at the small Bajoran woman in the doorway.

Speak of the devil, as his grandfather liked to say. He still felt uneasy with

the

semi-reverent attitude that so often accompanied his name -- when spoken by a

Bajoran -- but it was actually a relief to have his meandering self-analysis

interrupted.

The stranger wore a prylar's robes, and was very obviously a member of the

dig;

short, silver hair contrasted sharply with her deeply tanned skin, and she had

the

look of leathery strength that he'd come to associate with the lifelong

archeologists who had come to work at B'hala. She didn't look familiar, but

there

were always new people coming to the city.

"Yes?

The monk stepped inside, and in the few seconds it took her to cross the

room,

Jake decided that she was nervous about something. She walked stiffly, her

expression polite but blank, her hands clutching at the shoulder strap of a

well-worn satchel.

She stopped in front of him and seemed to study his features, her pale eyes

intent

with some emotion he

couldn't place. Jake waited for her to speak, interested; a break in routine,

with a

vague air of mystery....

Give it up. She probably wants directions, or an entry reading.

The prylar smiled, revealing small white teeth and deeply etched laugh lines.

"My

name is Istani Reyla. I'm -- I was one of the main overseers with Site

Extension."

Jake nodded. Beneath the seemingly casual working atmosphere at B'hala was a

well-organized system of committees and unions; Site Extension made the

decisions about where to dig next and sent in the first documentation people,

mostly scientists or vedeks with years of archeological experience.

Interesting

job; Jake had heard they'd recently excavated the oldest shrine yet

discovered, in

the ruins beneath B'hala.

"Nice to meet you. What can I help you with?"

The prylar reached into her bag and pulled out a narrow, loosely wrapped

bundle,

vaguely tube-shaped. The careful way she handed it to him suggested that it

was

exceptionally valuable or fragile. The package was very tight, the cloth it

was

wrapped in organic and extremely soft.

'It's a... document of sorts. Very old. If -- it may be -- I believe it's

important that

you -- " She grinned suddenly, and shook her head. "I'm sorry, it's been a

long

week." Her voice was low and musical, and Jake noticed how tired she seemed.

There were dark circles under her eyes.

So much for intrigue. He smiled, setting the bundle on the counter in front of

him.

She seemed nice, if a little odd; scientists. "I understand. I have these

dishes to go
