CHAPTER 7

"I MAY BE sick …"

The two time cops stared at Sisko with expressions so much alike that he wasn't sure which one was about to throw up on his desk. He held his breath for a moment, ready to dodge away in either direction.

"Tell me about it," Lucsly said then. "My palms are sweating."

Dulmur swallowed hard. "Think of the repercussions … a Klingon from the twenty-third century realizes that a Federation vessel from the future is potentially within his grasp …"

"We'd all be speaking Klingonese," the other one said.

"Can you imagine?" Dulmur looked at him. "All those consonants."

"Q'apla," Lucsly parried, then they both shuddered.

"I didn't let Dax go," Sisko told them soothingly. "Koloth never knew we were even there."

"We'll be the judge of that," Lucsly told him.

"What happened next?" Dulmur asked bluntly.

Beginning to get the idea that he was being interviewed by two guys with the sense of humor of customs officials, Sisko sighed. "It was one thing to convince Dax to stay out of history's way. The problem was, history had a funny habit of coming our way."
