Plot

The Mirror Universe version of Vedek Bareil arrives on DS9 as he flees from the Alliance. His real reason for being in the regular universe is to steal the Bajoran Orb of Prophecy and Change for the Intendant, the mirror Kira Nerys. The Intendant plans to use the Orb, in her universe, to unite her Bajor against the Alliance. However, before Bareil can complete this mission, he has a change of conscience, convinced by the Kira of the Prime universe. He stuns the Intendant with a phaser, admits to Kira he might be at risk when he gets home, then takes the Intendant, but not the Orb, back to the Mirror Universe.
