-Mel summons Shan'taar, [[trek:characters:virgil|Virgil]], and [[trek:characters:hall|Christopher Hall]]. She weighs up the offer and the demand, and asks Shan'taar, "Which thing do I give him? Offensive capabilities? Their defensive capabilities?" Shan'taar considers the question very carefully for several moments before replying, "The sheer tactical advantage of us bringing back a way to protect our ships against our Dominion's weaponry is incalculable."((The //Defiant// managed to repel Dominion weaponry two months ago (Episode 4x07 //Starship Down//), but that was likely some modification Chief [[trek:characters:obrian|O'Brien]] made. Considering [[trek:characters:dukat|Gul Dukat]] is caught off-guard when DS9's shields hold against polaron weaponry when they invade the station at the end of 2373, over eighteen months later, I can safely assume whatever O'Brien did, it didn't work out fully but kickstarted research and development. This data will speed that along immensely.)) Mel concurs, and Virgil chimes in, "With that in mind, captain, I don't think it would be unreasonable to give them the specs for the //Agincourt's// phasers and photon torpedoes. This will allow the Dominion to defend themselves but won't increase their offensive capability against the Starfleet ship."+Mel summons Shan'taar, [[trek:characters:virgil|Virgil]], and [[trek:characters:hall|Christopher Hall]].

 Shan'taar nods in agreement, and Mel says, "Thank you both, gentlemen. When you get a chance, send me whatever you have for your tactical plan." Without missing a beat Shan'taar hands her a padd and Mel grins before she dismisses them. She then turns to Christopher Hall, who is remained silent up until now. Hall admits that he is unsettled with the idea but agrees with Shan'taar and states that he will support Mel's decision. Shan'taar nods in agreement, and Mel says, "Thank you both, gentlemen.

 Ssleestak mutters, "Is this a pocket-dial from a Prophet then?" He then raises his voice and calls out, "Are you the same Prophet as before?" The Jen-Prophet turns to him and declares, //"We are nonlinear."// Ssleestak says, "I guess this means you're trans-dimensional. Any chance you can come back and pick us up later?" To everyone's surprise, the Jen-Prophet gives a very human shrug as she replies, //"Very well."// Ssleestak exclaims, "Nice! Thank you!" Ssleestak mutters, "Is this a pocket-dial from a Prophet then?" He then raises his voice and calls out, "Are you the same Prophet as before?"

-The Prophet abruptly vanishes from Jen, and she starts to topple forward before Mel grabs her. Ssleestak tries to figure everything out as Jen blinks rapidly, looks up at Mel, and asks plaintively, "What just happened?" Mel replies, "So today we found out the Prophets are everywhere! Apparently the first one just showed up again share the whole brothers prophecy. However, we figured out this is actually about the Selense family."+The Prophet abruptly vanishes from Jen, and she starts to topple forward before Mel grabs her.

 Jen frowns before her eyes widen and she whispers, "The Abbess. Alberic's mother was crippled!" Mel nods and then Jen winces in pain and announces, "So, good news, I think. I somehow know the way home." Mel says firmly, "That's wonderful! Go lay down! Go to sickbay, and I'll have Ssleestak bring the preteen." Ssleestak leans down to gently pat Malachi on the head as the boy tells Jen, "At least this wasn't the Alexandria-Prophet!" Jen frowns before her eyes widen and she whispers, "The Abbess.

 Clearly keeping his priorities straight, Christopher Hall turns to Malachi and remarks, "I thought you said you didn't swear." As Ssleestak helps Malachi to his feet, the boy replies wearily, "Dad says Scottish doesn't count, and if I didn't swear, I wouldn't be able to communicate with his side of the family at all." Hall blinks in surprise before he concedes, "Every time you open your mouth about your Scottish heritage, my five years at the Aberdeen science installation make more and more sense retroactively." Clearly keeping his priorities straight, Christopher Hall turns to Malachi and remarks, "I thought you said you didn't swear."

Ssleestak picks up Malachi effortlessly and heads for the turbolift while Jessa reaches out and guides Jen there as well. They take the turbolift down to deck four and as they approach sickbay Jen starts humming... to Tyr! Jessa is surprised to see that she's communicating directly with her symbiont, but she gets the general sense that Tyr's reaction is, //"Huh, OK. This is happening."//
