[alt text] A poorly-drawn comic depicting a man kneeling before a black Sphinx, he says "Sphinx of Black Quartz, judge my vow". Suddenly, an interloper enters the room, declaring "Sphinx of black quartz? Mighty weird, Jeeves". Jeeves turns to the Interloper, incensed, rebutting "Jackdaws love my big Sphinx of Quartz!"

Sphinx shamelessly stolen from https://clipart-library.com/clipart/sphinx-clipart-5.htm Made entirely in GIMP on a trackpad.

This is not the only place I could make an RvB reference with DS9 - I reckon there's a "you ever wonder why we're here" with Starfleet's presence on DS9 🤔
