Talvez sim, talvez não.
O Kai aparece brevemente em uma "visão orbital" em DS9: Accession .
< p > >
Sisko keeps walking. The lights of the Promenade seem DIMMER now. The
background hum of the station has dropped away. The feel is ominous...
strange... he hears the RUSTLING again, whips around toward the
source.
No one.
Disturbed, he turns to continue walking -- and finds himself
face-to-face with...
KAI OPAKA
Sisko couldn't be more surprised.
DS9: Accession - Final Draft Screenplay
De acordo com a Memória Alfa (referenciando uma anedota do DS9 Companion ), uma versão anterior do Um roteiro preliminar indicava que Sisko tinha preocupações de que não fosse simplesmente uma visão, mas uma tentativa do verdadeiro Kai de contatá-lo telepaticamente.
In ultimately unused dialogue from the second draft script of
"Accession", Kira suggested to Sisko that the vision of Opaka he had
seen was actually an attempt by Opaka to telepathically communicate
with him. Skeptical of this theory, Sisko remarked, "We don't even
know if she's still alive," which Kira then acknowledged.
