| Onboard the Defiant, Sisko and the crew pick up a distress
signal and the voice of Captain Lisa Cusak, whose escape pod has crashed
on a remote planet following the destruction of her ship. Although
two-way communication has not been established, Lisa transmits her voice
constantly as the crew begins the six-day trip to rescue her. O'Briwn
listens to the sometimes-amusing monologue and is surprised when she --
having overheard a conversation between him and Kasidy Yates -- suddenly
speaks to him. Both realize contact has been established, and Lisa
finally knows she will be rescued. |
