Hviezdny dátum 47329.4: Na štvrté výročie bitky o Wolf 359, v ktorej zomrela jeho manželka Jennifer, sa Benjamin Sisko zamiluje do ženy menom Fenna, s ktorou sa stretne na promenáde. Fenna však náhle utečie, keď ju veliteľ stretne druhýkrát. V tú istú noc sa on a jeho vedúci zamestnanci zúčastňujú večere s Dr. Seyetikom na USS Prometheus. Slávny vedec vyvinul metódu na opätovné zapálenie umierajúcich hviezd, aby oživil obiehajúce planéty. Na Siskovo prekvapenie vyzerá Seyetikova manželka Nidell presne ako Fenna, ale nepozná veliteľa. Ešte viac ho zarazí, keď Fennu, ktorá hovorí, že o Nidell nič nevie, nájde v jeho kajute, len aby ju videl zmiznúť po vášnivom bozku. Na ich misii k mŕtvej hviezde Dax odhalí, že Fenna sa skladá z energie. Je to len projekcia, ktorú vytvoril Nidell, ktorý je psychoprojektívny telepat a manželstvo so Seyetikom ho zjavne nudí. Vedec, zasiahnutý pocitom viny, vezme raketoplán a spácha samovraždu, keď mieri k hviezde, ktorú zotavuje svojou obetou. Nidell je teraz voľný; ale Fenna, tá časť, ktorá milovala Siska, je preč.

Stardate 47329.4: On the fourth anniversary of the Battle of Wolf 359 in which his wife Jennifer died, Benjamin Sisko falls in love a woman named Fenna he encounters on the promenade deck. But Fenna suddenly runs away when the commander meets her a second time. The same night, he and his senior staff attend a dinner with Dr. Seyetik on the USS Prometheus. The famous scientist has developed a method to re-ignite dying stars in order to revive orbiting planets. Much to Sisko's surprise, Seyetik's wife Nidell looks exactly like Fenna, but she doesn't recognize the commander. He is even more taken aback to find Fenna, who says she knows nothing about Nidell, in his quarters, only to see her disappear after a passionate kiss. On their mission to a dead star Dax reveals that Fenna is composed of energy. She is just a projection created by Nidell, who is a psychoprojective telepath and obviously bored by her marriage with Seyetik. Stricken with guilt, the scientist takes a shuttle and commits suicide when he heads for the star, which he recuperates through his sacrifice. Nidell is now free; but Fenna, the part of her that loved Sisko, is gone.
