"Whispers" is the 34th episode of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. It is the 14th episode of the second season.
O'Brien suspects a conspiracy aboard DS9.
Traveling by himself, Miles O'Brien takes a runabout through the Wormhole. He narrates a personal log in which he says that "they" do not want him to warn the Paradas, although he admits that he does not know who "they" are. He recalls the events leading up to this point.
Miles had just returned from a meeting with a species known as the Paradas in which they discussed security measures for upcoming peace talks. He awoke to find Keiko and Molly dressed and eating breakfast, at 5:30 am. Keiko seemed somewhat suspicious and Molly did not want Miles to give her a kiss, but he thought little of it as Keiko left their quarters with Molly.
Upon reporting for duty, O'Brien discovered an officer had begun working on the security arrangements without him, apparently under orders from Sisko. He decided to pay Sisko a visit, but thought better of it when he saw Sisko and Keiko having a private discussion on the Promenade. Later, Sisko told O'Brien to report for an annual physical, and when asked about his discussion with Keiko, claimed it was about Jake Sisko's grades. After an overly thorough examination by Bashir, O'Brien believed people's strange behavior that morning must have been because he had contracted some sort of disease; however, the doctor gave him a clean bill of health.
Jake asked O'Brien for help with a science project, but when O'Brien mentioned his grades, Jake said they were fine. Additionally, problems he had been assigned to fix seemed to have been intentionally designed to make him spend additional time repairing them. Even Kira acted somewhat suspicious towards him. He reviewed the other officers' logs, which confirmed that Sisko and the others were observing his movements, although to what end it was unclear. When Odo returned from a meeting with the Paradas, he offered to investigate the situation, an island of friendship in a sea of suspicion.
