Star Trek #39 of the Q Gambit begins
as Dukat breaks the tablet and releases the Pah-Wraith and the Last Prophet.
The Pah-Wraith inhibits Dukat as the Last Prophet heads towards Kira. However
Dukat kills Kira allowing the Last Prophet to inhibit Sisko. Now Dukat takes
the Enterprise into the wormhole to join his brethren and return with an
overwhelming force. Sisko and Kirk arrive in the Defiant and have a choice to
make. Give Dukat chase into the wormhole where he will be destroyed or wait for
them to return with a powerful force of Pah-Wraiths to wipe them all out. Q
arrives to inform Kirk that depending on his decision he and the entire Q
Continuum will cease to exist. This is a daring cliffhanger ending leading into
the final issue of the story arc.
