Gamesradar reports that the latest Star Trek show, Starfleet Academy, aired its fifth episode, "Series Acclimation Mil", which offered a surprising follow-up to a mystery fans have been pondering for almost 30 years. The episode follows Sam (Kerrice Brooks), the first Kasqian to attend Starfleet Academy, who is assigned to be Kasq's emissary to the Federation and studies Captain Benjamin Sisko as part of her mission to explain organic life to her creators.

Set some eight centuries after Deep Space Nine, the episode makes clear that Sisko is still with the Prophets — beings who exist outside of time — and closes with a voiceover attributed to Sisko: "Divine laws are simpler than human ones, which is why it takes a lifetime to be able to understand them.

Only love can understand them. Only love can interpret these words as they were meant to be interpreted." The episode then ends with an onscreen "Thank you Avery" followed by the Deep Space Nine theme music.
