Along with the name making you feel like you're in space, this is a chimeral?(fantastic to hallucinatory?)reversal of H.`Captain Kirk'. (2010,Mark Zilis. Sport of H.`Caprain Kirk') A Chimera is according to Greek Mythology, a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature composed of parts of more than on animal! Usually a lion with a head of a goat? and a tail that ends in a rattlesnake's head! Modern definition?: anything composed of disparate parts perceived as wildly imaginative, implausible, or dazzling. And there you have DEEP SPACE NINE! 1st you gotta be "spacing" then sink the "nine" ball! Only Mark could come with this word! But if you have H.`Captain Kirk' then this will make you want THIS!
