Deep Space Nine: Entering the Station
Maybe you wake up , or you go through a door, or you turn your head and look back and suddenly, suddenly, you're not where you were. You're in a strange dark room, crates piled up and strapped down all around. You'd say it's some sort of cargo bay except that there's a faint hum, a feeling...
You make a noise and someone comes down. Maybe they look human but more than likely they don't. Maybe you freak out or maybe you're already so freaked out that you're in shock but it only takes a few minutes to work out that you're not where you were and you're now on a cargo vessel headed for a station by the name of Deep Space Nine.
Because thankfully, they speak your language. Or rather, as you find out later, a universal translator was being used.
You're brought to the station, through the futuristic hallways and to the office of a rather frustrated-looking woman with ridges on her nose and a chained earring in her ear. Her name is Colonel Kira Nerys, and she is a dual representative of the Bajoran Government and the United Federation of Planets.
You are not the first person to have this happen and you won't be the last. For some reason, the wormhole that floats over the planet of Bajor has chosen to pull you from your home universe and bring you here. She believes it to be the Will of the Prophets, beings who inhabit the wormhole and act in the interests of Bajor.
Unofficially, you are considered an Envoy of the Prophets, sent here for unknown reasons to play some role in the future of Bajor. Officially, you are being given a conditional citizenship in the Federation, provided a PADD, communicator/universal translator, identification, and housing aboard the station for your use. The Federation doesn't use money, you're told, so your food is provided as well, but luxuries are your own concern. You are also welcome to take the shuttle to Bajor, but Bajor has not joined the Federation, so anything there would fall under luxuries.
After a few medical tests and a shot or two to make sure that the station's mix of aliens won't cause you any biological trouble, you're free to go, so... where to?
