bajor petitioning starfleet for copies of sisko’s personal logs bc he’s their emissary and since hq’s always been really nervous about that they just say that since he’s only been gone a week a lot of the information in there is still sensitive, so no. 

fast forward like a century and someone finds this old file full of requests from bajor for some officer’s personal logs, so whatever, they send it over. cut to bajor basically flipping their shit bc while they’ve had tons of primary sources from everyone who met the emissary, talked to him, was friends with him, they didn’t have much in his own voice bc most everything he had to say went in his starfleet logs.it’s all anyone can talk about for months, some people don’t even go to work on the day it comes out bc they’re marathoning through, temples have an unexpected off day. 

meanwhile the clerk who sent it out has their superior officer standing over them glaring intently. ‘how was i supposed to know it was That sisko? everyone just says the emissary!’
