The Stars Speak:
  • From an Orlando, Florida Convention:
    Nana Visitor: "But what it signifies is the fact that you can almost tap into our [Bajorans'] souls, like a computer, through our ears. You can know a person's past. The Opaka is so good at it, that she could do it with the Commander, if you remember in the pilot episode, she touches his ear and finds that he, indeed, had tragedy in his past."
