The Pet (Star Trek Deep Space Nine)

Commander Sisko has his hands full with a ship captain threatening violence unless his Crown Prince is returned and mysterious creatures terrorizing the station, so he hardly has time to notice the pet Jake and Nog have adopted. Original.

It's the anniversary of the discovery of the Wormhole, and ships from all over the galaxy are headed to Deep Space NineTM to celebrate. When the freighter Ulysses docks at Deep Space Nine, an animal escapes from one of the crewmembers and heads straight for Jake Sisko. It does not speak or eat, but loves to play ball! Since the furry little creature presents no threat to the station and the owner is under investigation by Security Chief Odo. Commander Sisko allows Jake and Nog to keep the pet until the situation can be straightened out.

Besides, the Commander has more important things to worry about. For starters, a huge new ship has come through the Wormhole and its captain is threatening to blow up the station unless his Crown Prince is returned, unfortunately for Sisko, he's never seen the prince. Also, mysterious creatures have begun terrorizing the station. With time running out, Sisko and his crew search the station for clues, while Jake and Nog try to save their pet from an alien's evil plan.
