DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Visitor" - REV. 08/10/95 - ACT FOUR 44-44B.
41 CONTINUED:
MELANIE
(putting it together)
That's why he always appeared
somewhere near you; even if you
were hundreds of light years from
where the accident happened.
OLD JAKE
(nods)
We also realized there was a
pattern to his appearances; they
were governed by fluctuations in
the wormhole's subspace field.
Dax's calculations showed that the
next time he appeared, I'd be an
old man.
(a beat)
I decided to put aside my novel
and try to find a way to help him.
And so, at the age of thirty-
seven, I went back to school and
started studying subspace
mechanics.
Jake takes a breath, what he has to say next is
particularly difficult for him.
OLD JAKE
At first Korena was very
patient... she supported what I
was trying to do. But I got so
caught up in my work I didn't
notice I was losing her. By the
time I became a graduate student,
we weren't living together
anymore. And by the time I
entered my doctoral program,
it was over between us.
A long quiet beat as he contemplates this tragedy.
OLD JAKE
But I pressed on with what I was
doing... And one day, years later,
it hit me.
(beat)
I figured out a way to recreate
the accident.
