In "The Reckoning", Sisko discovers a 30,000 year old stone tablet with his name on it and removes it from its sacred resting place. Against his better judgement, Sisko has unleashed spiritual forces that threaten to destroy everything he holds dear. In "Valiant" Jake and Nog are attacked by Dominion fighters and end up behind enemy lines. Rescued by a Starfleet warship on a covert mission, they find the vessel crewed entirely by cadets who've assumed officers' roles.
