	As before.  O'Brien on the move to his station...

					O'BRIEN
			I can transfer all available power 
			to establish partial shields around 
			critical areas... but if they hit 
			the docking ring we'll sustain heavy 
			damage...

					KIRA
				(to Odo)
			Constable... if you would coordinate 
			moving all personnel to safer 
			locations...

	He acknowledges, EXITS... turning to Dax --

					KIRA
			What was the last reported position 
			of the Enterprise?

					DAX
			At least twenty hours away...

					KIRA
			We've got to hold out till they get 
			here...

					BASHIR
			I can't believe the Cardassians would 
			ever attack a Federation outpost...

					O'BRIEN
			Doctor, you ever studied your military 
			history of the border wars?  Ever 
			heard of the Setlik Three massacre?

					KIRA
			I assume, Mister O'Brien you would 
			agree that surrender is not a 
			preferable option...
