Admiral Austin C. Travis, Jr.

as part of the destiny. She will achieve greatness.

*The Prophets then answered in unison.*

The Aurora's destiny includes all that will happen to her. There will be no end to it until she joins Us in the Celestial Temple. Remain faithful to the Hand, endure what is to come, and rest in the peace that will come after, embracing all that comes -->

She will understand.

We have chosen the Aurora.

The Aurora is linear.

She will pass through the fire and not be burned.

The Aurora will sacrifice many things.

You are of Bajor.

The Aurora must support the Hand.

The Trial will come.

The Aurora must be prepared.

The Aurora is linear. She sees only that which was and that which is.

*The first figure then came into her view in the form of her father.*

She who is of many worlds comes to speak with Us.

I already am! I've survived three wars so I know what the fuck I'm doing!

I haven't heard anything about D'Nesh, so I assume everything's going smoothly.

*Evil laugh*

I hope so. Travis out.

Very certain, Constable. She's been noted for her piratical activities and she needs to be brought to justice.

[Constable Soong, this is Admiral Travis. I wanted to let you know that an Orion Syndicate boss named D'Nesh is currently on Deep Space Nine. I believe you know what to arrest her for.]

*After sending the message, he smirked evilly.*

That's how you'll pay, D'Nesh...

You failed me, D'Nesh...Dhael's happy with TWO girlfriends and I hear Trip's going to command a mission in the Gamma Quadrant...You're going to pay for failing me...

THAT'S NOT FUCKING GOOD ENOUGH!!!

*He slapped her hard.*

YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHAT'S WRONG!!! DHAEL HAS TWO GIRLFRIENDS!!! YOU SAID YOU WOULD RUIN HER LIFE!!!

[Good. I want them all to suffer for what they've done to me.]

[That's true. I'm sorry, D'Nesh...I want you to do anything you can to alienate them again. Make them hate each other. That way, they're easier to defeat.]

[DAMN!!! I don't want her to EVER be happy again with anyone! Especially with those two! I wish that idiot S'Ten had just shot her when he had the chance, but no, the woman who turned Trip against me had to stop him!]

[What is it, my darling D'Nesh? What stupidity did she do now?]

// What movie have you seen an unhealthy number of times?

Or just age taking its toll. I'm still relatively fit for my age, but I'm not as fit as I used to be.

I'm very well-coordinated for my age and I still have all my teeth.

Fortunately, not everyone in this universe has that ability.

We never asked for your opinion, and it doesn't matter to us.

*Austin sat up, having caught his breath.*

Don't bother with them, Enderby...It's fine.
