Description

0200. That's three and half hours into the future.   In the fifth act of third season episode Visionary, Chief O'Brien is sent forward in time, to confer with his near-future self about DS9's impending mysterious destruction. The temporal mechanics of this story are very iffy, which the two Miles O'Briens acknowledge and then dismiss with a shrug.   Electronic clock, with time determined by addition of rectangular red 5-hour, rectangular green 1-hour, rectangular yellow 10-minute, round red 5-minute, and round green 1-minute LEDs. (Seconds are shown in a reverse binary cascade of small red LEDs across the bottom.) Smoked lexan bezel on an anodized black aluminum base. Although this is an actual clock, the device as shown in the episode is in the random flickering 'alien time' mode and not displaying a readable time. The prop used in the scene also appears to have a label or plate applied over the tradename raised letters on the lower device face.   From Alien Time Company.
