Only he wasn't on the Enterprise. The script specifices as such. He arrived from a prior ship. That's why when Sisko meets Picard for the first time in the episode it really is for the first time - surely Picard would have debriefed him before he arrived had it been otherwise.

As far as Picard being unfamiliar with Sisko's track record... I just chalk that up to dramatic license. Had Picard read over it, would we have this exchange?

'Have we met before?'
'Yes sir, we met in battle.'

I know that. But my point was that one would presume that he would look the guy up in the database before he met him. Especially given that Sisko's 'mission' was in many ways a diplomatic one, and one that would be of interest to Picard.

Shoot...I'm only an auditor, but when a new accountant gets hired by the people upstairs, I am very keen on going to look up their background, so that I know what I'm dealing with.

And I simply think that Picard would do the same. And if he DID do the same, the events of Worf 359 would definitely stick out - or SHOULD stick out, to Picard.

Just sayin'.

However, I brought up the other because it just astounded me that anyone would think that the Enterprise would be ferrying people about who they didn't know at all - no questions asked, as was represented by another poster.

The issue of Sisko aside, that just doesn't seem like very good security to me.

Perhaps I didn't explain it so well...but the bottom line is that I don't think they would be doing that.

Of course, the environment would be alot more 'ideal' if he hadn't bloomin' KILLED THE GUY'S WIFE.

I'm not aware of evidence that Picard had any way to know Sisko was at the battle of Wolf 359, or that his wife was killed in it. Picard's task is, clearly, delivering crew and supplies as well as official orders; what in that would suggest ``by the way, review the personal histories of all the people being dropped off on the station so that you can be properly contrite for that instance when the Borg abducted you and ripped your entire personality away from you and used your every thought to destroy the Federation you love because you weren't strong enough to fight them off''?

You might not 'review the personal histories of all the people'...but you would certainly review the history of the friggin' COMMANDER of the place.

I mean, if you were at all competent, which Picard presumably was.

Or are you saying that the Enterprise is nothing but a big 'ole bus service which just ferries people around with no interest at all in who is being dropped off with the express purpose of bringing Bajor into the Federation?

Take people here....take 'em there....take 'em here....take 'em there... "Gee...I don't know who is on this vessel...we just do what we're told."

Well it seems that the Enterprise was extermely active in the Bajoran sector having had a few episodes there. It doesnt seem outside the realm of possibility that Picard just skimmed the guys record because he was busy with all the other stuff he had to do and missed the reference or if he even had the complete jacket on him. It never really seemed outlandish to me that Picard hadnt realized Sisko had been there. And too, how can he review the histories of every single person whos getting assigned somewhere? Additionally its been said that the Enterprise did not ferry Sisko. He arrived on a different ship and didnt even seem to know that Picard was there either. Thats just based on his reaction when he hears his name.
