Summary
In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "His Way," had enough of war and moral compromise? Step into the holosuite and meet your new best friend: Vic Fontaine. He hands out advice with the same ease he sings a classic tune. He's got Odo's number too, and he might get the constable to finally open his heart.
Hosted by John Champion & Norman Lao
Welcome to Mission Log, a Roddenberry Entertainment podcast, where we explore the Star Trek universe one episode at a time.

In this Episode of Mission Log we'll...
- Recap the story and analyze key moments.
