This rite was used in 2375 by Ezri Dax to bring forth Joran Dax to help her investigate a number of mysterious deaths on board Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Field of Fire") Robert Hewitt Wolfe, who wrote "Field of Fire", once described the Rite of Emergence as "Trill mumbo-jumbo." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. 649)
