	as the Runabout moves in for a landing...

269  INT. PROMENADE

	As Sisko walks out of the Airlock gate... he sees the damage 
	to the promenade, reacts, begins to move perceptibly faster... 
	and he has to be wondering about Jake... he finally finds 
	Odo and Bashir tending to the wounded... The Bajoran woman 
	is lying nearby, conscious, holding hands with a member of 
	her family...

					SISKO
			Casualties... ?

					BASHIR
			Thirteen injured, Commander...
			No fatalities...

	And Sisko's face eases immediately... as he looks up to motion 
	in the crowd and Jake pushes to the front...  smiles as he 
	sees his father... Sisko grins back with love... and as the 
	boy runs to him, Sisko lifts him up and carries him on his 
	hip... and as they move down the thoroughfare...

										FADE TO BLACK.
