Name That Trek

No joy!
Not the General & Co, not Shakaar (the episode nor character).
I will consider adding a slightly embiggened clue if this is still too vague. But I assure everyone that all of the elements necessary to deduce this clue are in fact present in this image.

Re-capping what we know:
Takes place on Bajor, Sisko is involved, though not in the photo.
My next guess will be: "The Changing Face of Evil" in Winn's office, Sisko is referenced in her discussion with Dukat as Tabor brings her Pah-Wraith related books.
Not "The Changing Face of Evil" with Dukat, but you are closer than you think (but not temporally closer).
Sisko is involved, Winn is not. Dukat makes an appearance in this episode, but not in this scene.

Ok guys I get the feeling it won't be too long now. You've earned another peek:
Ok, sleuths, time for another clue. Here's the same scene from a slightly different angle:
Here's what we've learned:
Here's what we've learned:
- It is Bajoran
- Not Maquis
- Not Kai Opaka
- Not B'Hala
- Not the Bajoran General from The Circle
- Not Shakaar
- Not Winn
- Not Dukat/Anjol Tennan from "The Changing Face of Evil" - but this is an interesting guess....
- Sisko is involved but not pictured here.
- Dukat makes an appearance in this episode but not in this scene.
- All the clues necessary to deduce the solution are present in every clue image. : )
Ah, I see where you're going with this Yanks; Sisko playing archaeologist...smart guess, lots of the same elements - but no. Too late a season.

I really thought I'd had it, but I did some digging after I posted and figured out Dukat is not in 'Rapture'
I'll keep working it....
Well now you are using your detective skills very well! I am surprised The Homecoming wasn't guessed earlier. Guess what!
Nope!
But your hounds are on the right trail!

Ok players, new day, new clue:
We know that Sisko is involved in this scene (but not pictured). But did you know that Dax is also involved? And like Sisko, not pictured. Could we also wonder if Kira would figure prominently in such a scenario? Hmm?

This one is tough because either you know it or you don't, there's very little in between. And if I say too much you will easily get it, I think. So in the interest of keeping it challenging but keeping the gameplay moving, I am going to keep adding various clues and replying with clues as much as possible until it's solved. (And yes - you do know this episode. You really do).
Another clue:
Another clue:
Is it from "Emissary"?
Not from Emissary. Another clue:
Dukat tells the truth through his whole two brief scenes in this episode.

That's it, Yanks! "Duet"!
It's from the picture of the Gallitep labor camp they view on the Ops viewscreen.

Better wait until Triskelion gives the acknowledgment.
Duet is the right answer!!! Stellar guess, Yanks! And kudos to Admiral Shran for recognizing the photo and doing it the hard way! The Gallitep Labor Camp is spot on! Honorable mention indeed, and if for any reason Yanks cannot perform his duties as Winner, that role should fall to you!
Your turn, Yanks! Congratulations!
And now, the reveal:
Feel free to skip ahead to the next clue. For curiosity's sake, here is added explanation of my clue:
I love this Kira-featured episode; it was the last bottle episode before the DS9 first season finale, and really made yet another strong mark for the show. Harris Yulin superbly played the unforgettable role of Aamin Marritza - and Gul Darhe'el, too - in this memorable episode.
(Harris also won an Emmy for a one-off appearance on Frasier as Jerome Belasco, a mob boss seeking counseling for his girlfriend).
And to further explain my reasoning for the clue, in my defense against being unfairly cryptic:
First of all, I wanted to make this one really more challenging than usual. It would require real detective work.
First Clue:
- First, due to the small clue I kept it very archetypal.
- Shabby robe + digging implement = a poor laborer?
- Machined, dark fabric clothed person (uniform?) standing behind the poor laborer - but not in a place where he would offer help. Black symbolizes death, for further archetype help.
- Where have we seen this juxtaposition in Star Trek universe? Basic premises, nothing so esoteric - and one that might come to mind is the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor. Seeing as how it was such a small shot, I kept the concept very big and hard to miss - but of course you had no way of knowing this.
- The bluish-purple fringing in the lower right corner can possibly be the glow of a technology of some sort. Since it is likely too close to be a shuttle nacelle, that leaves a computer or view screen. Did you catch it? That it was actually a scene within a scene? Maybe some of you considered that possibility.
- The big blob along the right margin = RED HERRING. Nothing at all but a rock wall! However they appear to be standing on dirt....
- Since the Occupation is no longer happening in the series present, and we may be seeing this on a viewscreen, there is a good chance it is a photograph and not a live view. Did you catch that? This is why I wondered if The Homecoming would be ruled out early.
- Why would they be looking at a photograph of the Occupation? - And you get the idea. (Would they be trying to identify one of the people in the image? Why would they need to identify someone? Has someone come aboard the station?) etc.
Second Clue:
- More pronounced fringing in lower right corner
- The shadow behind the laborer is in fact a humanoid - with technology! more evidence of not being particularly helpful to the laborer!
- More laborers appear into view! They are not chatting, they are "occupied" with something!
- The laborers are wearing shawls too? In the episode, some laborers appear on the station wearing shawls that conceal their mutilated faces. There was a chance here to remember them:
The Third Clue:
Wait a minute, that same light fringing.... is it -
The Ops Viewscreen border!
The Big Question: Why are they looking at a picture of the Occupation on the Main Viewscreen?
The Full Scene (with clues highlighted in red):
How Sisko and Dax were involved:
Dukat's 2 appearances:
Once in Sisko's office, confirming Darhe'el's funeral:
And again in Odo's office, giving him access to the Cardassian archives in order to confirm Marritza's identity and avoid a "plot to embarrass the Cardassian Empire":
"The Changing Face of Evil" was a very interesting guess, and now you know why!
So there you have it! My ode to one of my favorite DS9 episodes, Duet!
Thanks for playing and I know after you hardcore Niners finish
yourself, you will want to do the same to me! I assure you I understand completely and fully support that action!Hey, it was either all this, or the clue:
"No! It's not."
