Xa ndiqala ukuthetha ngokufuna ukubukela Inkwenkwezi yetrek Ekugqibeleni, impendulo phantse kuye wonke umntu yayikukuba ndiqale ngothotho lwe-1993-1999 Isithuba esinzulu esithoba Ejongana nesikhululo sendawo yeFederation, i-Deep Space Nine, ekhusela ukuvulwa kwesibungu esizinzileyo kwicala elikude lomnyeleza yiplanethi esandula ukukhululwa yeBajor. Ndandilungele umdlalo wezopolitiko kunye namabali abanzima, kodwa into endandingayilungiselelanga yayihlala ndilila malunga notata omkhulu uBenjamin Sisko kunyana wakhe uJacob Jake Sisko.
Kumdlalo, uSisko nguMlawuli wesikhululo sasemajukujukwini (kwaye, kamva, ukapteni we-USS Defiant), edlalwa yi-baritone emnandi u-Avery Brooks, kunye noxanduva lwemiphefumlo emininzi enqanaweni, abasebenzi kunye nabantu, ukwanoxanduva lokukhulisa unyana wakhe omncinci, uJake Sisko.
UBenjamin ngutata ongenaqabane; Umfazi wakhe, uJennifer, wabulawa ngexesha lokungqubana noBorg. I-Borg yayifuna ukufumana lonke ulwazi lwe-Starfleet kwaye yamenza uKaputeni uJean-Luc Picard kwinkqubo, kwaye wenza i-Borg drone eyaziwa njenge-Locutus. Kwidabi, zonke iinkwenkwezi eziseWolf 359 zatshatyalaliswa, apho kwabulawa khona abantu abali-11,000, kubandakanya noJennifer. Ke, njengoko uSisko ethatha umthetho kwi-Deep Space Nine, uthatha nomfana okwishumi elivisayo onoxanduva lokufundisa, ukukhulisa kunye nokukhokela.
Enye yezinto ezintle ngoBenjamin noJake yindlela abathandanayo ngokuphandle ngayo. Bahlala bewolana, kwaye uBenjamin bobabini bathandana ngokwasemoyeni nangokomzimba kunyana wakhe. Ngaphandle komsebenzi wakhe, uyabona ukuba uBenjamin wenza ixesha noJake kwaye ufuna ukwenza konke okusemandleni akhe ukwenza uJake akhuseleke kangangoko.
Kwisiqendu iBhabheli, iinqanawa zosulelwa yintsholongwane ye-aphasia, isibetho esenziwe zii-Bajorans njengesixhobo sokulwa nabantu baseCardassians. Yenza ukuba wonke umntu aqale ukuthetha gibberish, ekugqibeleni akhokelele ekufeni. UJake wosulelwa yintsholongwane kwaye akasayi kuyiqonda into ethethwa ngutata wakhe, kodwa nangona kunjalo, uJake unokuxela ukuba utata wakhe uyakumkhusela, kuba banesibophelelo esingaphaya kolwimi.
Into ebalulekileyo kukuba uguquko lukaJake lube mdala kwimiceli mingeni kukhetho lukaBenjamin. Ubuhlobo bukaJake kunye noNog, inkwenkwana encinci yaseFerengi, kubangela ukuba ubandlululo oluninzi lukaBenjamin malunga nohlanga lwangaphandle luphume. IFerengi, njengohlanga lwentsomi, zi… ziluhlobo lwengxaki. Impucuko yabo yayakhelwe kwingcinga yeshishini lasimahla, kwaye eyona njongo iphambili ebomini yeFerengi kukufumana inzuzo, ukuya kuthi ga apho ukuthengisa umzalwana wakho kuyinto eqhelekileyo.
UNog ngumtshana womlinganiswa ophambili weFerengi, uQuark, kwaye uba ngumhlobo osenyongweni kaJake njengoko bobabini bedlula kwiminyaka yabo yokufikisa engaqhelekanga kunye bejonga amantombazana, beza nezikimu, kwaye bexhasana. Okwangoku, ekuqaleni, uBenjamin wayecinga ukuba uNog uya kuba nefuthe elibi kwaye wayengafuni ukuba bobabini baxhomeke kunye. UJake wadelela utata wakhe, kwaye kwisiqendu I-Nagus, siyabona ukuba esinye sezizathu zokuba uNog enze into yokuba imisebenzi yakhe yobukrelekrele ithathwa ngaphandle kwezithethe zikaFerengi, kwaye isenzo sakhe esikolweni kungenxa yokuba wayengakulungelanga ukufundwa . Ke, xa uBenjamin elandela uJake ukubona into ayenzayo, kutyhilwa ukuba uJake ufundisa umhlobo wakhe indlela yokufunda.
UBenjamin unebhongo ngenxa yokuba le yinkwenkwe enobubele, enemfesane ayikhulisileyo-umntu owaziyo ukugqitha kwinkangeleko nenkcubeko ukuze afumane inyaniso emntwini.
Oku kuyenzeka kwakhona xa uJake eze ekhaya… intombazana egama linguMardah! Amantombazana akwaDabo ngamabhinqa amahle kakhulu asebenza kwiikhasino, kwaye zininzi izinto ezinento yokwenza nezesondo kulo msebenzi. UMardah uneminyaka embalwa emdala kunoJake, kwaye uBenjamin uyamkrokrela, de babe nencoko. Ewe, uMardah uyintombazana entle entle, kodwa ukwangumsindisi womsebenzi wemfazwe, inkedama, kunye nomntu ophila yedwa ngaphandle koncedo, kutheni ke kufanele kubekho isigwebo kuloo nto?
Ngumbono omkhulu kuba uBenjamin ubona ukuba imbongi yakhe u-hustler unyana ngumntu olungileyo, kwaye ngenxa yokuba behamba ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo akuthethi ukuba abasondelanga. Enye yezona zinto zinzima kuxa ukhulisa umntwana ukuba azimele, kwaye ukuzimela kuthetha ukuba abasoloko begcina ulindelo obabekele lona. Ke, endaweni yokuba lilungu le-Starfleet, uJake uba ngumbhali, obonisa izinto ezicingayo nezikuphefumlayo zikayise, nangona uBenjamin naye wayeligorha.
Kwilizwe apho uninzi lweentlobo zooyise kwimithombo yeendaba zizama ukukrola amadoda kwaye zifundise ngothando olunzima, uBenjamin uphakamisa unyana wakhe ngobubele, uvelwano, kunye nenqanaba lenkululeko ebonisa ukuba kutheni engenguye nje umphathi omkhulu, kodwa utata omkhulu .
UBenjamin Sisko uyazi ukuthembela kwaye akholelwe abantu abathandayo, kwaye sesona sipho sikhulu utata angasinika umntwana wabo.
