*[[Miles O'Brien]] and {{MA|Kira_Nerys|Kira Nerys}} briefly appear in [[San Francisco]] while attempting to locate the timeframe that [[Benjamin Sisko]], [[Jadzia Dax]] and [[Julian Bashir]] materialized in. The version of 2048 they encountered was one of an [[alternate timeline]], as O'Brien noted that it was ''"not the mid-[[21st century]] that [he] had read about in school."'' He added that ''"[[Human history|Earth history]] had its rough patches, but never that rough."''
:''It is hard to believe that O'Brien would consider the nuclear holocaust and 600 million casualties of [[World War III]], which was still ongoing at this point in the ''proper timeline'', was merely a "rough patch." However, this can be simply explained by O'Brien pointing out that time was even 'rougher' then the World War III rough patch.''<br>
