If Odo (René Auberjonois) and Quark (Armin Shimerman) never saw each other again it would be too soon. But their worst nightmare becomes reality when their runabout crash-lands on a harsh Class-L planet. Stranded without rations or normal com links and with only one set of cold-weather gear to share, the two set out - squabbling every step of the way - on a last-gasp quest to save their lives. If they can somehow haul the runabout's bulky subspace transmitter to the peak of a towering mountain, perhaps they'll be able to send a distress call to DS9 - if they don't kill each other first. Survival in space is never easy...and as long as Odo and Quark cling to their mutual hatred, it can only get tougher.

An accident transforms Capt. Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) into a true visionary leader. A post-neural shock has touched the captain in an unexpected way, leading him to dream the dreams of prophecy. Sisko now knows the location of the ancient lost city of B'hala. He can reveal mysteries of the Bajoran past and foretell that culture's future, too.

The prophecies are a gift, as well as a curse. The intense revelations will certainly destroy Sisko's steadily weakening nervous system if they persist, yet the captain insists they must be allowed to continue. He knows he must discover the meaning of one especially problematic vision - a revelation that, if properly understood, may have immediate repercussions for both the Federation and Bajor.
