Vedek Capril

You're very welcome, Lieutenant. I hope you have the guidance you need.

Of course, I would recommend it. It will give you time to ponder anything the Prophets said or showed you.

No one realizes it until they experience it. You handled it better than many other outsiders, I will say.

Are you alright, Lieutenant? Should I call the Hospital?

Kneel before the Orb and feel the vessel. When you feel you're ready, open it. If the Prophets wish to speak, They will speak to you.

If your pagh is strong and pure, then you are worthy. Allow me.

*He reached and grabbed her left ear for a moment.*

Yes, your pagh is strong. Follow me.

Look into the Orb kept here.

Hmm, I see.

*Capril folded his arms and stroked his beard with his right hand briefly.*

Lieutenant, this is an opportunity rarely given to outsiders and Bajorans alike, but would you like to seek Their guidance directly?

I see. You wish to seek the guidance of the Prophets before you leave on your mission?

You're quite welcome, Lieutenant, though I do have to ask, is there something troubling you?

I would believe what she says since she *is* the Hand of the Prophets.

*The old man nodded and spoke kindly.*

Yes...They do hear all who call on Them, even the unbelievers, and They are with all of us, even if the person doesn't realize it or they think They aren't.

What do you wish to know about the Prophets?

Yes, I am, Lieutenant. You've never visited the Temple before.

An owl because according to some human traditions, the owl is a symbol of wisdom.

I chant the songs of the Prophets.

If I could provide spiritual leadership for the colonists, perhaps.
