[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] <h2>SPACE STATION HAUNTED?</h2> By Miguel Molina, special to the FNN <small>53406.7 - Is key Federation outpost haunted by former commander?</small> The baseball is resting on the keyboard of the small computer kept in the station commander's office. Colonel Kira Nerys picks it up and places it on the small display on the corner of the desk. "That's where it was last night," she says with a wry smile. But every morning for the last two months, her day has begun by replacing the baseball in it's stand. A prized momento of the station's former commander, Nerys, the Bajoran commander of the Federation outpost [i]Deep Space Nine[/i] believes that it is proof positive that Captain Benjamin L. Sisko is keeping a friendly eye on his former post. "He died the day the War ended," Nerys says sadly. There is no question of which War she is talking about -- the Dominion War, over now for two years, left its mark on the Alpha Quadrant, but especially on the abandoned Cardassian station now known to its crew as "DS9", which played a pivotal role in the War. Sisko died on a secret mission to Bajor, where he was apparently responsible for stopping Gul Dukat, who turned the Cardassian Union over to the Dominion and arguably started the War. Sisko was known to the Bajorans as the "Emissary", who would guide them into more prosperous times. Vice-Admiral Bill Ross, sector commander, told reporters that "Captain Sisko was just a man, a great man, who did his part to end the War and uphold the faith the Bajoran people placed in him." Vedek Nal'io, the front-runner to be the next Bajoran Kai, told reporters that "the Emissary guided the Bajoran people for seven years, and helped save us from the Dominion. He will always be alive in our hearts." Perhaps he's no longer alive, but he's certainly making his presence felt on Deep Space Nine. Although half his former command staff has left for other assignments, the station's chief of operations, Lieutenant Nog (the first Ferengi in Starfleet), said that "I can feel him, sometimes ... like he's standing behind me, watching me. I do my best because I don't want him to feel like I let him down." Quark, the Ferengi proprietier of the most popular bar on the station -- and Nog's uncle -- remarked that he too has sometimes felt Sisko's presence, although he declined to comment on specifics. Security Chief Lieutenant Aneel was seen to be keeping a specific eye on Quark in the background. Dr. Bashir and Ezri Dax, the chief medical officer and station counselor -- who happen to be madly in love -- regret Sisko's loss, but haven't thought his spirit to be hanging around. "I miss Benjamin," Dax, a Trill who had known Sisko for over fifteen years, said. "He was one of my closest friends and now he's gone." "As long as he's in our hearts," Bashir said. "He'll never really be gone." Jake Sisko, the son of the Captain, helped to compile this article. "I miss my father. I wish he was still here." The young Sisko has been helping to raise his new young sister and his father's widow, Kassidy Yates-Sisko, who has remained on the station following Sisko's death. "I miss him dearly," Kassidy said. "I hope someday to be reunited with him, and I wish he could see little Keyian grow up." [/QB][/QUOTE]
