Summary: “Sisko, Odo, and Bashir are confused and seek answers when five strange human men with redacted Federation profiles come onto the station and stir up chaos. Strangely, Dax recognizes one of them.
Alternate Title: "The Nordic 5 Visit DS9"
If you really think about it Julian’s the one, who has it easy if they ever get married. He won't have to go to Garak’s parents asking for permission to marry their son, and technically Garak doesn’t either, but Garak does have the challenge of trying to convince everyone in ops to let him marry their doctor. Imagine having to go on a bunch of side quests to get each of your partner's coworkers blessing and even after all that The Benjamin Sisko is your final boss. Tougher done than said.
I love the whole DS9 crew so much!
Haven’t reblogged yet this year so better late than never

List of Star Trek species who know about baseball due to Captain Benjamin Sisko
Prophets: Sisko used baseball to explain the concept of linear time to them.
Ferengi: Quark learned about baseball to examine potential business opportunities.
Unidentified imagination aliens: One of them took the form of a baseball player based on Sisko’s interests.
Trill: Dax is an old friend of Sisko’s, they probably learned about it during life as Curzon, then definitely learned about it as Jadzia.
Cardassian: Possibly. I’m assuming that during the Dominion occupation of DS9, Gul Dukat at least took thirty seconds to learn what the baseball was for.
Vorta: If Gul Dukat bothered to learn, he probably rambled about it to Weyoun while drunk. If not, all Vorta field commanders are required to read Sisko’s psychographic profile. Baseball is in that thing somewhere.
Jem’Hadar: Guards were present during the exchange of an antique baseball card which Jake Sisko wanted to procure for his father.
Bajoran: Kira accompanied Sisko to a holosuite game, later learned to play when brought in by Sisko for his team.
Klingon: Through Worf, same circumstances as Kira.
Vulcan: Captain Solok and at least a team’s worth of his Vulcan crew learned the game in order to play against the Niners.
Changelings: Odo learned the rules in order to be the umpire, that knowledge would’ve been transferred to Laas and later the rest of the Founders when he returned to them. Every Founder now knows how to play baseball in excessive detail.
Because of Sisko, baseball knowledge extends across the galaxy and beyond the boundaries of time.
This is so fucking cool
Doing Sisko in the style of an Eastern Orthodox Icon painting because recent events have got me thinking about that type of thing
Details under the cut
Ok, so, I had an idea.
What if somehow the main crew of ds9 got trapped somewhere and the only way to leave is to drink a certain amount of poison, almost like a test of bravery or whatnot.
Turns out, the chemicals that said poison is made up of doesn't affect ferengi... well, at least not in the death kind of way.
It's a drug. Ferengi use this as a drug. It's really potent.
Anyways Quark is there so they give it all to Quark and he gets high.
That's it. That's the whole episode - Quark get's high and saves the day.
Here's my drawing of this idea:
Oh, and per request from Seb, here's Weyoun in this situation:
Yeah, vorta are built different lmao
Guy who literally can't stop thinking about Far Beyond the Stars
I feel like everyone in this show is eather haveing a mental breakdown or is about to have one Anyways enjoy the little shitpost i made
Space station full of nosy buggers.
– You don't know what any of this is about, do you? You work here, you see these people every day, how they live, and you just don't get it. – What do you want me to say? That I feel for them? That they got a bad break? What good would it do? – It'd be a start.

+ bonus
sisko loving baseball is literally so weird. like imagine your boss was obsessed with like jousting or something. he talks about jousting all the time, when you go into his office he picks up his jousting stick and just kind of holds it while he talks to you, and then as you get to know him he starts inviting you and your coworkers to go watch simulated jousting videos with him. then one day his bitchy rival from college shows up and reveals that he not only learned jousting, but taught it to his employees. like he did this JUST to torment your boss, despite the fact they havent seen each other in YEARS. so your boss challenges the bitch to a jousting tournament and he just??? signs you up??? so you learn how to joust, you joust against the bitch rival and his employees, and then you lose

DS9 didn’t have to go this hard with a brilliant illustration of traumatic grief in the first episode
haven’t watched the star treks in five million years but this is what happened in In The Pale Moonlight right

Homestead Greys In Star Trek DS9
I recently started watching Deep Space 9 and it brought the biggest smile to my face to see Sisko wearing a Homestead Greys hat.
The Homestead Grays were a Pittsburgh-based Negro league baseball team that played in the Negro National League from 1922 to 1948…
The Homestead Grays were one of the most successful Negro league baseball teams, winning multiple championships in the Negro National League. The Homestead Grays weren’t inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame UNTIL 2006 (almost 60 years later!). The teams primary owner was inducted 60 years after his death. They were one of the best baseball teams PERIOD… They won nine straight league titles 1937-48. So seeing one of the characters in a show from the 90’s represent this team years before the baseball hall of fame even did made me so happy… The record stats from the Homestead Greys weren’t put into consideration into baseball history until this year! The Homestead Greys had some of the best baseball players of all time on their team.
As someone from Pittsburgh seeing this team represented in something as impactful as Star Trek made me so happy. Whoever did the costuming for Star Trek Deep Space 9, excellent job.
EDIT: I’ve read some of the tags and from my understanding it seems like it was Avery Brooke’s idea to include the Homestead Greys cap in DS9. Atm I am unable to confirm that. Either way, that’s so fucking cool and really has added a lot to the show for me!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NUMBER ONE BALDIE OF ALL TIME, WITH OVER 9,000 VOTES IN HIS FAVOR...
