Stardate not given: On a visit to Bajor, Commander Sisko has uncovered records of a Bajoran sailship which somehow traveled to Cardassia in ancient times. He tries to enlist Jake’s help in his quest to construct a working replica of the sailship from old Bajoran blueprints and recreate the journey, but Jake is oddly reluctant. Sisko also receives a strange warning from Gul Dukat that the journey is too hazardous simply to satisfy curiosity. Despite all these odds, the commander is determined to chart a trail that was blazed centuries earlier, but even he doesn’t realize what surprises he’ll discover along the way.
