Sisko is called to the bridge. Although the crew arrived in their proper universe nothing remains. Only a black void... except for the Bajoran Wormhole. At the very edge of what used to be the Milky Way Galaxy it remains. Using the last of their failing Dilithium Crystals they set course. En route, Sisko serves up a lavish meal for the senior staff. Much later, the Theseus enters the Wormhole... and Sisko seemingly arrives on ancient Bajor.
At the end of the universe the crew is, oddly enough, given some much needed down time. Some drink and think of better times. Sparks of love ignite. Miral chases Spot around. Sisko and Crusher discuss what it is like to lose the love of their life. You could say little happens in this issue. And in a sense, you would be correct. But I very much enjoyed this issue. As I said, it is much needed. Though the Kelvin crossover was fun it is nice to see the crew interacting with no crisis on the horizon. Again, I will ask what the endgame of this story is. Does Sisko return to the Celestial Temple as his mother wants? Or will he manage to delay that return and remain with the Theseus and her crew?
seven out of ten.
