"Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" Season 3 Quiz

Answer: Destiny

The prophecy stated that "three vipers" would return to their nest in the sky and as a result the temple gates would burn. This led to anxiety amongst the Bajorans about the destruction of the wormhole as they believed that the Cardassians were the three vipers. Whilst the prophecy did come true, it was not in the manner that was expected.

Answer: Past Tense

In the early 21st Century, if you did not have any identification, money, job, or someone to vouch for you, you were placed into a sanctuary district. Sisko and Bashir were separated from Dax when they beamed in and were placed into Sanctuary District A just days before a riot was due to start.

When Gabriel Bell was accidentally killed, Sisko assumed his identity to ensure that history played out in the way it was intended.

Answer: Defiant

It appeared that Commander William Riker had boarded DS9, however we subsequently learned that it was actually his 'twin' brother. Thomas Riker had been created in a transporter accident in "TNG", and the computer could not distinguish between the two, enabling him to gain access to the Defiant with Major Kira.

Answer: Equilibrium

Whilst at dinner with the senior staff, Jadzia found a keyboard and absent-mindedly started to play a tune. Later in the episode, the computer identified the composer as Joran Belar. At one time, the Dax symbiont had been joined to Joran, however he had a violent personality and the symbiosis commission had put a memory block into the symbiont to suppress all memory of him.

Answer: Prophet Motive

The Nagus had entered the wormhole with the Orb of Wisdom looking for the Prophets, however they found him to be aggressive and adversarial. They changed his personality to make him less of a threat and were prepared to adjust Quark as well. Quark was able to convince them that if they did so, more of his kind would come to try and find out what had happened so the Prophets returned Zek to normal.

Answer: Shakaar

Shakaar had waited for three years to be given the soil reclamators and had been promised that they could have use of them for a full year in the Dakhur Province. However, Kai Winn ordered that they should be given to the Rakantha Province instead. Her management of this issue led to Shakaar standing for election as the First Minister of Bajor.

Answer: The House of Quark

The Klingon's name was Kozak and he owed a significant amount of money to D'Ghor, who wanted to take over his house. He visited DS9 and ensured Quark confirmed Kozak's honourable death so this could happen, however he reckoned without Grilka marrying the man who had beaten her husband in battle.

Whilst the Klingon High Council considered what to do, Gowron ordered that Grilka's family should be known as the House of Quark!

Answer: No

The first part of this story was told in the episode "Improbable Cause" with the second being told in "The Die Is Cast".

Answer: Civil Defense

The program activated the self-destruct system and transmitted a distress signal from Gul Dukat, which Dukat himself received.

Answer: The Abandoned

When the baby was taken out of the stasis chamber initially, the crew had no idea which species it belonged to. However, as Jem'Hadar mature to adulthood within 3 days, it didn't take long for them to find out. Odo (being a Founder) was the only one to whom he would listen.
